forms the guests when the bride, ready
for her journey, is about to slip
through the company. Some such air
as "Only One Girl in This World for
Me" is chosen for this moment, and
as wind instruments are in vogue at
country weddings their far reaching
power is very great. The carriage or
trap which is to take the pair away is
now drawn up on the drive.
The Busy Best Man
Amid the blare of trumpets and the
downpour of a deluge of rice the we'd
ded pair proceed to their chariot. Once
mounted on the seat they feel that
their troubles will be over, but, alas!
the hope is in vain. The trap will not
move; the wheels refuse to go around;
they have been tied together with
broad and luxurious bands of satin
ribbon by the very busy best man.
That strenuous person has also been
under the trap, where he has tied up
IN the most complicated fashion a
number of little white satin shoes. He
has stuffed the cushions of the trap
with rice, he has labeled the baggage
he has put rice in the umbrellas and
canes and suit cases and he has armed
the company with more white slippers
and more rice, enough to stem an In
dian famine one might think on seeing
the lawn and verandas afterward.
Some time ago the fashion of sewing
tna ri0 n I.e, ne
started, but was found to be exceed
ingly dangerous. 1t had very much
the effect of bean bag game, with the
newly welded pair as a target. AS 1t
wasn't possible to aim at the bride un-
der the circumstances, the bridegroom
got it all and got it very heavily. AT
ter one man had actually tainted un-
der the infiiction, the fashion was
abandoned for the good old fashion of
rice in handfuls Confetti has also
been tried, but has been found to be
rather a nuisance. and is not so much
used this year as 1t was last.
While the trap of the bride and
bridegro a is driving away the or
chestra continues to send out it's song,
"only One Girl in This World for Me-"
Every hat in the crowd is raised.
handkerchiefs are waved and every
soul in the crowd is shouting and
wishing the couple good luck. An old
white satin slipper and final volley
of rice follow them down the drive.
After they have gone the party be-
comes as Hamlet" without the Ghost.
The sooner then that each home is
sought the less fatigued ana the more
delighted with the day will be its In
mates.

hats, giving the last touch of smart
ness, are huge affairs. with streamers
long and graceful There are six of
these damsels, or occasionally eight,
and maid of honor. 1t has been the
bridegroom's privilege to present them
with their flowers, either shower bou-
quets or baskets filled with small col
ever, in the interest of effect, that they
be held by the maids uniformly.
Naturally it is for the bride that the
greatest interest is reserved. She
comes last of all, leaning on the arm
Of her father, or whoever has assumed
Nowadays the veil is seldom worn over
the face, although that custom was
highly modest and pretty. According
to the latest fashion it is arranged
with exceeding care, although with
seeming simplicity, to hang in long
folds from a crown of orange blossoms.
Should the family treasures include a
lace veil of fine and ancient quality
the bride is deemed so much the hap
pier; but wells of tulle are also highly
fashionable.
Sweet Simplicity Is Proper
The court trains and ermine, the
really regal wedding gowns seen dur
ing the last winter in town, are not
regarded as being in good taste for
country weddings. The, ideal of SIM
plicity is faithfully followed. Even a
white chiffon gown, embellished with
exquisite lace, has been worn lately by
a most lovely summer bride. 1t is the
veil, and its arrangement, and the
bridegroom's gift of jewels which
really distinguish her costume.
One of the amusing things at coun-
try weddings is the mystery of the
bridegroom's appearing to meet the
bride at just the right moment. COM
ing as he does from nobody knows
where, The nearness Of a side door or
a side passage has nevertheless been
OF the utmost concern in hanging the
wedding bell and arranging just where
the couple shall stand for the cere-
mony. This follows the old routine, in
spite OF the ever present disciples OF
the divorce courts.
1t is usually conceded that after the
clergyman, the bridegroom and her
father have kissed the bride the best
man shall have his opportunity. Then
q general shower Of kisses. handshak-
ings and congratulations takes place
The custom for the guests is still to
congratulate the bridegroom and to
wish the bride every possible happi-
ness.

Weddings

ionable time for country weddings, a
breakfast is served as soon as the
couple are surely and safely married.
Sometimes, when the house proper is
not large enough for such a gathering,
a temporary extension is added for the
occasion. This need not be an eXpen-
sive structure. The most effective one
that has lately been seen had it's walls
only of canvas and its roof of the
boughs of trees, through which hung
long blossoming vines. In taking this
risk, as was remarked at the time, a
good deal of gambling had been done
on fair weather Verandas, also, are
most useful for serving such feasts.
When the funds are plentiful these
wedding breakfasts, in truth lunch
cons, are served by some high class
caterer from town. Groups of friends
quickly take possession of small tables
while the large central one is reserved
for the bride and her attendants. From
cold bouillon to ices and sweets, with
picked crabs, filet and truffles, game
Of good things to eat Is run. Yet this
menu is naturally one of the hostess
own choosing. and varies with the size
and elaborateness of each wedding.
Informal jollity reigns at the out of
town wedding breakfast. College
friends of the bridegroom break into
song, reminding him of his early bach
elor days, or stirring up rival strains
Los Angeles herald., 1905-07-09

from representatives of other colleges
who are present. The bride looks on
demurely, smiling at all.
The custom of having a large cake
in the center of the brides table has
been revived. The bride cuts the first
piece, and it is then passed to her
bridesmaids. In one piece there is a
bit of money, in another a ring, and in
still another a thimble. Those secur
ing these pieces are sure-in time
either to become very rich, to marry
or else foreman spinsters. For other
guests there are piled high in the hall
innumerable little boxes holding the
conventional wedding cake
An Old Time Custom
The bride first leaves the dining
bridesmaids and ushers. Should she
be then in the mood for a little old
time gayety, she runs out on the lawn
The bridegroom quickly ties a band
age over her eyes, and her brides
maids, joining hands, form a dancing
eXpectant circle about her. She turns
first to one side, then to another, while
they scamper merrily around. At
length, after using as much deception
as possible, she throws her bouquet
to them, breaks through the circle, and
runs hastily into the house and to her
room. The one of the bridesmaids who
has caught the bouquet will then, it is
whispered, become the next bride.
The bride is not always, however,
nor in fact usually, blindfolded while
throwing the bouquet. That is a little
extra frill discovered among old time
wedding practices and seized upon by
several recent brides in search of now
city.
Sometimes the bride throws a
shower bouquet, which, instead of go
ing to one girl, separates into great
number of or little bouquets which are
caught by the bridesmaids.
After the bride has performed this
necessary ceremony and gone to her
room TO put on her going away dress
the company amuses itself with an in
spection of the presents, etc. The best
man is especially busy. 1t is his mis-
sion at this time to entice each guest
into small anteroom, where he re-
quests his or her signature in an ex-
quisite book designed for the brides
souvenir OF. the day. It is also his duty
to distribute rice for the pelting of the
couple as soon as they reappear. In
deed, much depends on the extent of
his bent for mischief. He can make
smooth or highly troublesome. the get
ting away of the newly married pair.
Again. II is the orchestra that in

q UMMER weddings nowadays usual
ly mean out of town weddings,
for the out of town wedding has
grown so much into favor owing to
its more picturesque possibilities, that
brides whose parents are not pos
sessed of country places not infre-
quently borrow those of their relatives
or friends.
Very often the ceremony is per-
formed at the house, in the hall, draw
ing room, veranda or even on the
lawn.
1t is a fact worthy of mention, al
though no one has been able to get to
the root of the matter, that invitations
to out Of town weddings are more gen.
orally accepted when a special train is
run to their destination. A comforta-
BILE feeling, springing from the shifting
of responsibility and expense, is en-
gendered by the enclosed card which
is destined to be exchanged with the
trains conductor for transportation.
The prospect of going to the wedding
in pleasant anticipation.
The gala train carries usually a jolly
company, gayly gowned and appar-
emily defiant of the CRIME of ordinary
travel. On it's arrival it is met not
only by a full turnout of the hosts
stable, but also by every vehicle the
neighborhood affords, from carry-all
to a runabout. All are generously de-
corated with white Towering shrubs
and white ribbons.
Unless the ceremony should happen
to be at the country church for which
the bride has a liking, the guests are
driven directly to the house where a
short time for freshening up is allowed
before the ceremony begins.
Decorations for the Staircase
Bowers and garlands of flowers are
everywhere. The staircase, however, is
usually the central point of decoration
II is on the stairs that the bride will
first be seen. Her coming is signal
lied by the orchestras playing the
wedding march. The buzz of conver-
sation then ceases, as does the going
in and out of many guests, and all
eyes are directed toward the stairs.
The ushers. six or eight in number
descend first. unfolding as they pass

mode for these imposing individuals to
wear dark gray trousers and frock
coats, with scarfs of white brocaded
satin. Following come the brides

fects that are most attractive and rath-
er unusual The muslins have, as a
rule, silk Innings, and are elaborately
trimmed with lace or embroidery.
An attractive feature of the garden
party gowns this season is the fasci-
mating little wraps that are made to be
worn with them, in the shape of fichu,
pelerine, or cape with long crossed ends
in front, while the number of short silk
jackets that have suddenly made their
appearance is something remarkable.
These short fancy jackets of taffeta are
elaborately embroidered and trimmed
with ruchings of the material or with
medallions of lace. The sleeves are
short and wide, so that in no way can
they interfere with the sleeves of the
waist over which they are worn. The
jackets are all short and above the
waist line. They are not becoming to
stout women, and yet there is an inde-
scribable smartness and finish about

For the Summer Bedroom

Most bedspreads are made with a
valance, although some persons pre-
fer them plain. They are made large
enough to be drawn over the pillows
If desired, although this is rather un-
graceful. Almost all qualities come
with special covers or cases for rolls or
pillows to match the spread. The pill
low sham persists, although most
persons prefer pillows or a roll which
can be covered with the lace or em-
broidered linen, and give place at night
to another set Of pillows.
OF the simpler sort of bedspread, the
kind of thing the woman of modest
means is thinking about nowadays
when she makes up the list of fur
nishings for her summer home. there
are dainty Swiss and other thin cot
ton fabrics in white, with just a touch
of lace or embroidery to give them
delcacy, and even more practical
fowered dimities in colors, finished
with krotted fringe. Such bedspreads
may be purchased for SIS to SIS and are
durable and dainty.
Unless one has a color scheme for
the bedroom and wishes to emphasize

fittings 1t is better to stick to white.
