The horse was all but walking. Swinging
into an easy but rapid, trot, he soon caught
sight Of the vehicle again.
Taken up with each other, the lovers
failed to notice the man with set, determined
face and viglant eye following in the rear.

Luck seemed to favor him. There was no
traveller in view on the road But, unex-
pcctedly an old peasant, bending beneath a
bundle Of fagots, came out of the forest
and, as soon as the carriage had passed,
turned around, with the usual rural curios-

They passed out Of sight, but not before
the young man perceived their relation to

Customs of the Fascinating June We'd
dings as Now Celebrated.
June, the favored month for weddings,
and the most fascinating Of all seasons for
the wedding journey, is here, and apropos Of
these charming occasions Harper's Bazaar
furnishes the following timely information:
The brides of June have some of them de-
termined to be married In their travelling
dresses and to start off Immediately, but this
Is a pity. As a woman will presumably
never be married but once, she should be al
lowed the conventional wedding dress and
veil which is very certain to become treas
ured memory.
Young ladies who marry widowers some
times consider it etiquette to be married in a
bonnet and high dress. II they are not very
young this is perhaps better.
After her cards are out the fiancee must
not appear in public. This is another alb
surd regulation, but one on which society is
very stringent. In asking a set of young
| ladies to be her bridesmaids, the bride is gen.
orally actuated by feelings of relationship or
friendship, although fashion and wealth often
influence these invitations Each bridemaid
is expected to give handsome present. The
groom asks men of his own age and his init
mate acquaintance to be his ushers and they
must all be unmarried men, of course, and
must arrange matters at the church.
If the ceremony is in the church it should
be filed with June flowers and blossoms
should be strewn for the bride to walk on.
Music should play softly through the pre-
paratory half hour when the family is being
ushered to seats The mother of the bride,
her brothers and sisters should precede her to
the church and be seated in pews before she
enters, unless the mother is widow and
gives the bride away herself-a very touch
ing and beautiful ceremony. In this case the
brides mother precedes her in the procession
leaning on the arm of her son or near rela,
tive.
After the ceremony, the officiating clergy.
man shakes hands with the young couple and
congratulates them. The bride takes hel
husbands right arm and they walk down the
aisle They drive home alone or to the houst
where the reception is to be held
