The Pail Mall Gazette, in discussion
of the much discussed revolt of the
daughters, gives the following pen pic
ture OF what is supposed to constitute a
well brought up mother"
'She must never ask questions lest she
be told-lies. She must learn not to
make lncouvenient remarks, and allow
her daughters to say the social thing that
is not to her own domestic knowledge,
with an unmoved countenance. She
must not insist on the fair, frail creature
wearing warmer clothing or stouter boots
than is consistent with fashion She
must not venture to criticise the outs ides
of letters or examine ball programmes.
She must know everything and seem to
know nothing, and remember or forget
according TO the exigences of the moment.
She must consent to be caressed in pub
lie, when such an exhibition is effective,
and snubbed on occasions when the L a.
ternal element is at a discount"

lessons, you know. Not one of the girls
knew a thing about cooking, and as
each of them was looking forward TO get

to govern her cook One of the girls had
heard her brother talking about the num-

She asked him what q toby was, and he
told her it was a small steak and very
popular with men. Well, that girl wanted

experiments each girl was told to cook
something at home and bring it to school.

A new fad, says Harper's Bazaar, has
lately been introduced from England that
gloves shall not be worn at weddings by
the bride and groom. This undoubtedly
arose from the fact that some high-born
lady once forgot her gloves. How far this
fashion will be followed it is difficult to
say, but, no doubt, there are some persons
who will adopt it. Sometimes the bride
maids or maids of honor enter the church
one by one from each side of the chancel
and Joining in the middle aisle, walk down
to meet the bride and her father. Usually,
however. the ushers walk in from the
front door, followed by the bridesmaids,
then the bride on her fathers arm. the
groom meanwhile entering with his best
man from the chancel, and waiting there
to receive the bridal party. The veil can
be so arranged that the piece which covers
the face is pinned across the hair, and
falls to the waist This can easily be re-
moved after the ceremony by one of the
over her arm. This is a more satisfactory
way of arranging the veil as it is not
possible to turn it back gracefully over
the orange blossoms.
A prayer book is often carried by the
bride instead Of bouquet, and in one IN
stance this prayer book was handed the
officiating clergyman, who read from it
the service, returning it TO the bride
afterwards. Bridesmaids and ushers do
not walk together down the aisle 1t is
an old-fashloned custom, and
is seldom followed. At morning weddings
the bridesmaids sometimes carry parasois,
which are partly opened, and are filed
with flowers. OF course, in this case, tho
maids wear hats.
