coNsrAN READER
A middle-aged gentleman should Be
dressed in the same style as a young or an
old mountaineering suit for any evening
entertainment; white or light gray gloves
are correct: a white linen tie In a small
bow-knot. such as Is always worn with Q
full dress suit
II would seem TO be Impossible for q
church to have an aisle too narrow to per-
nit OF two walking abreast, and In such q
case 1t would be best for a wedding party
to enter by the vestry or side door. The
bridegroom and best man should be waiting
-
stances. and the usher should precede the
wedding party. consisting of the bride and
her father and bridesmaid.

at a dance, whether 1t is morning. after
noon or evening. A private letter Should
be addressed to John Jones, Esquire"

case OF this kind: A young lady las lived with
her aunt for a number OF years-her mother lives
in the far South. The young lady Is known
chiefly through association with her aunt. Whose
name should be on the wedding invitations and
announcements. the mothers or the aunt's. when
the wedding is to be held in the aunrs house
the mother. owing TO illness. cannot b
PRESENT. r. q. J..
Unless for some family reason the daugh-
ter has entirely cut loose from her family
the invitations should bear the name of the
and the announcement card should
also he sent out in the same way. 1t Is
rather a difficult question to decide. but IL
can be arranged by having the Invitations
read: Mrs. Blank requests the honor OF
your presence at the marriage Of her daugh-
ter. TO be held at the residence Of -"
and then give the aunt's address.
