June is supposed by some to be the month
of weddings, but October has shown itself
a great rival this autumn and the announce
ments keep coming. All who go to we'd
dings are aware of the difficulties and en-
barraSsments attending having the friends
and relatives of the brides and bride
groom's families, who do not know each
other, occasionally mixed up together in
church. 1t is sometimes awkward when
lady friend of the bride makes some OF
those disparaging remarks about the bride
groom that even the dearest friends Will In
dulge in, discovers at the reception that the
little lady in the pew in front who looked
around and frowned was the bridegroom's
aunt, from whom she has expectations.
All this, il is said, will be obviated by
new arrangement which consists OF
having some of the wedding cards sent out
ornamented with gilt clover leaf, while
others bear the same design in silver. The
gilt leaf card indicates that the recipient
thereof is a friend of the bride. The
silver leaf represents friend Of the groom.
When these cards are shown to the
usher of the church he understands the
placing of the guests without difficulty.
Business acquaintance show only plain
card. Another advantage of this arrange
ment is that where the brides family be-
longs to a different social set from the
family of the bridegroom, as is often the
ease, there will be no mixing up"
