Variety In Cereals.

cereals, says writer In The Woman's
Home Companion. Any one gets tired
OF always having the same thing, and
there is no excuse for this monotony
when one considers all the various
preparations of oats, maize and wheat
So If you give your family oatmeal for
a few mornings surprise them at an
other breakfast with homlny or crack
ed wheat or granulated barley or some
similar preparation. The very fact
that it is surprise will make it all the
more welcome and, for that matter, all
the more beneficial.

JUNE WEDDINGS.
Some of the PerpIexities of Etiquette

Some of the Perplexities of Etiquette
That Cluster Round Them.
June is the month of all months for
weddings, no other time being so ia
yored as this season of sunshine and
roses. Many perplexing questions of
etiquette cluster round the proper con
summation Of the momentous event.
The Designer, in discussing some of
them, says:
The "at home" cards of the bride
and groom are in this country some
times sent out with the wedding invita-
tions. In Europe this is never done, 1t
being obviously incorrect 20 speak of
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Brown" before
the marriage has taken place. They
should, however, be sent out as soon
as the happy pair return from their
bridal trip in order that their friends
may know that they are prepared to
receive calls. Such cards should be
sent not only to the personal friends
Of both, but also to the friends of their
respective parents, even those who live

delicate courtesy is always mark of
Ill breeding, though it is painfully COM
mon.
Wedding gifts should be acknowledg.
ed by the bride to be as soon as con.
yenient after their receipt For this
purpose small sized note paper of good
quality must be used, with envelopes
to match. In each instance brief,
but cordial, note is called for 1t is
advisable to acknowledge all presents
before the wedding.
At an elaborate home wedding the
programme is very similar to that of
church ceremony, the bride, who
advances to the improvised altar on
the arm of her father or nearest male
relative, being preceded by her brides
maids and met there by the clergyman,
the groom and the best man. After the
ceremony the newly married pair do
not separate, but receive the congratu-
lations of their friends while standing
side by side
According to European usage. a maid
Of honor Is not permissible when there
are several bridesmaids, this title be-
ing used only when the bride has but
one attendant. In other cases, the
bridesmaid who stands nearest the
b4ide In point of relationship is called
the ''chief bridesmaid and walks i'm
mediately behind the bride. The Ameri-
can custom. however. sanctions the
presence of a maid of honor In addi-
tion to the bridesmaids, her place in
the bridal procession being immediate
ly following the bridesmaids and pre-
ceding the bride. The pages, If any,
follow the latter, and SO close the pro-
cession. A widow, at her second mar
riage. should have but one female at
tendant. who is called the maid of
honor, but she may be attended by
one or two pages.
Groomsmen are no longer included In
the list of wedding requirements. the
best man" being considered sufficient
support for the most nervous of bride
grooms. In reforming the bridal pro-
cession after the ceremony, the bride
and groom leave the altar first, being
followed by the maid of honor with
the best man. then by the bridesmaids
and, lastly by the pages, If any. If
the ceremony take place In church, the
bridal pair invariably leave the build
ing first and the brides parents next,
before either the bridesmaids or guests.
