charged. The most popular ceremony among
people who do not class themselves as IN
society,"" and also among many who do, Is
quiet home wedding, here the bride Is at
tired in a suit of plain white or travelling

is informal, perhaps a modest supper or
lunch being served after the ceremony Is

less. if he is economical. This is the most
popular wedding ceremony. and this is the
way that fully IS per cent OF young people are
