The brides table was a dream OF
art, and as one can never clearly
recite dream, we will not attempt
a description. The brides cake,
surrounded by happy, eager crowd
(of all that were not over age) par.
ticipating in that delightful old
time custom of cutting for the ring,
was an interesting feature. We
will not tell who got the ring, but
the party delights in Jnne wed
dings, and as it's too late for anoth-
er one this year look out for next
June.
After the wedding breakfast the
bride retired and soon re-appeared
attired in lovely travelling habit,
and on the arm of her husband
they descended the stairs, along the
hall, across the wide porch, down
the steps to the walk were lined
friends, young and old, to wish
them God-speed, scattering roses
over them and along their path
which was beautiful and pleasant
sight; a fitting substitute for that
relic of provincialism, the throwing
of old shoes, &c.
