Duties Of Attendants to Bride and

Hints.

From the best man to the most remote
acquaintance of the afflanced couple, wed
ding invitation brings to the recipient q Ger
tain sense of joyousness and pleasurabie an
ticipation The church wedding Is, there
fore, the most popular. as 1t admits OF sueh
a large circle of friends sharing in this i'm
portant celebration.
Invitations simply to the church ceremony
do not require an answer. 1t is. however.
a very nice courtesy to send formal note
of regret when it is impossible for the In
vited guest to attend. The wording of this
note follows the wording of the engraved
invitation as nearly as possible, and reads
usually In this wise:
Mr.. Henry Girard
regrets his inability to accept
the kind Invitation OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Bowman
to the wedding Of their daughter
on Saturday afternoon, December the hf-
teenth, at four o'clock.
If the wedding is in a city church. an
engraved card usually accompanies the in
vitation, stating the address of the church
and the fact that it will gain the bearer adj
mittance on the day Of the ceremony. In
the case of Intimate acquaintances. the card
also states the pew and aisle where the
guest is to be seated. One card Is sufficient
for two people, but 1t should by no means
be forgotten, without il a guest is apt
to be debarred
The Usher's Work.
Upon entering the church vestibule
guests are met by men friends of the groom
who stand waiting to assign seats. Should
these ushers be engaged for the time being,
guests wait for their return. When one of
the men presents himself names should be
given distinctly unless the Ambulance card
bears the number of the pew to be occu-
pied. The usher then offers his arm to a
girl or woman. who rests her fingers lightly
on 1t, and proceeds with him down the aisle,
followed by her escort. Introduetions at
such a time are not necessary, and II is
perfectly proper to exchange pleasantrfes.
When man is alone, the usher walks with
him to the allotted pew.

ONE QUESTION ASKED

More people have lost money in
attempting to keep other people from
making some than through almost
any other means. WhaS difference
does it make If the men who are pro-
noting the canning factory do make
Il fair commission: they will have
earned it when their work and the
chances they take are considered.
1t is the utmost Stiffness to believe
that men are desirous of promoting
an industrial enterprise without they
expect to make something in return.
Nearly all the great work done now
agencys, and it is generally done
right.
There can only be one question
raised in the proposition offered by
the Hastings Industrial Company IN
promoting the canning factory. and
that is the price asked for the build
ing and equipment: is it excessive
over the actual cost of construction d"
1t was pretty generally shown al

merce that. figuring on what is pro

the factory could not be built iv
anyone cheaper than the amount Civ
en- as the cost of the whole outfit uu-
der the plan proposed by the Hast
ings company. The element of fall
ure in raising the amount and many
other things must be considered as
a part of the cost, and when all is
totalled it would undoubtedly be
found that the price asked by tho
promoters, now on the grouad. is
within reason.
