They have charming custom con-
nected with weddings up Woonsocket
way that must be admitted to be some
thing like picture from the old times,
when the knight took his bride from her
fathers home and rode with her through b
the land, as did Eneid's Geraint to their
new home. True, they ride not, the
newly married on gayly decked chargers,
but they do not go to the opposite ex-
treme, and use the uncomfortable and
prosaic railroad train, but compromise on
a choice carriage and pair OF horses.
Generally the trip is made out into the
country, as is the custom in France, and
seldom does anything happen to mar the
charming and poetic ride in which the
warmth Of the BRIDES color and the
pleasure that shines In her eye Is prettily
offset by the colors of the landscape.
Yesterday, a couple that was married in
the morning came to this city in carri-
age drawn by pair Of handsome gray
horses, and all went we'll until Bacon
street was reached, when there was
trouble. One of the wheels of the carriage
came of, but fortunately the bride,
though badly shaken up, escaped any
serious injury. The horses were taken
into Or. Msrston's stables and black
smith found to repair the damage, after
which the party again went their way re-
joicing, and the unpleasant incident was
soon forgotten.

Church will be laid with appropriate
