witnessed in New York. This picture
was joke, but as matter of fact, and
an absolutely truthful one at that, there
was bicycle wedding few days ago
in the sleepy little village of Astead,
in Surrey. Every member of the bridal
party went to the church mounted on
bicycle.
When the procession started from
Leatherhead, about two miles from the
town where the ceremony was to take
place, II aroused the utmost enthusiasm
among the villagers, who cheered it vo-
ciferously.
At the head Of the company rode the
bride and bridegroom, astride OF tam
dem cycle. The bride, who occupied the
front seat and attended to plotting her
better half that was to be over the rough
bits of road, was striking picture.
She wore q fawn-colored costume ap-
propriate for cycling, and her leggings
were OF the trimmest and neatest Upon
her head was a wreath of orange bios
SONS, to which was attached a long white
veil which streamed out straight in the
wind caused by their rapid flight and oc-
casionally tapped in the face of the
bridegroom, causing him to find vent for
his annoyance by pedaling little harder.
The bridegroom was also thing OF
beauty. His raiment was light-colored,
like the brides, and it is a fact we'll
worth noting and mOrallZIng over tnat
| the veil and orange blossoms were the
only distinguishing marks between the
two. The bridesmaids and the best
men hurried perspiringly in the wake of
the happy pair. The best men wore
'scorcher" breeches presented by the
bridegroom.
The party finally reached the church
in great good humor, and after the cere-
mony wheeled away to the hostelry
where wedding feast had been COM
manded. On the road they passed that
famous inn where the landlady refuses
to recognize knickerbocke kered ladies un-
less they consent to wear skirts. The
speechless Indignation of this innkeeper
is said to have been very funny.
Doubtless before long there will be as
rigid a system of etiquette established
for bicycle weddings as exists to-day for
the ordinary sort. Probably in the
near future it will be considered more
CONNIE il faut for the bride and BRIDE
groom to wheel up to the church on
separate Bicycles and, after they have been
made one by the minister. to ride away
on a tandem which might be ridden to
the church by the principal bridesmaid
and the best man.

heard of DR.. y. j. Shores wonderful
skill in treating cases similar to mine,
