ANNOUNCING AN ENGAGEMENT.
/ Present custom DEGREES that the an
nouncement of an engagement should
| be made about two months previous to
| mer custom of announcing an engage
ment at an indefinite period before mar
riage has fortunately become obsolete.
ENTERTAINING THE CLUB.
| You wish to entertain the club infor-
mally at your home on the evening of
its regular meeting. Simple refresh
ments are desirable You may serve
chicken salad, sandwiches and coffee,
or thin bread and butter, crullers and
! cocoa, or any fruit that is in season,
with angel cake and lemonade. Apple
tarts and coffee proved very popular
when offered on a similar occasion to a
small neighborhood club.
A BLOTCHED COMPLEXION.
The trouble with your complexion is
| probably deeper than the skin. You
| should not wash your face, however,
| with scalding water. Tepid water with
| delicate toilet soap once a day is much
better. Are you sure that you have
.Io+
! I advise you to avoid too many sweets,
to drink little coffee and tea and to
avoid fresh bread. Plenty of outdoor
help to make your complexion clear.
WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENTS.
To quiet wedding at home, in addi-
ton to relatives, few intimate friends
may be invited either verbally or by
informal notes. To the large number
of outside acquaintance who are in
terested in the wedding, announcements
may be sent Immediately after the cere
mony. The announcement should be
engraved, enclosed in envelopes, adj
dressed and stamped before the we'd
ding, and should be posted the same
day The usual form is like this: Mr..
and Mrs. Harvey Denton announce the
marriage of their daughter, Emily, to
Mr.. John Miller, mentioning place and
date. IF the newly married pair are to
be at home to their friends at a later
date, this is often mentioned on a sep
arate card
THE WEDDING PROCESSION.
Bride and groom enter the church to-
gether, preceded by the bridesmaids,
flower girl and ring bearer, unless the
bride prefers TO come in on the arm
of her father or brother, in which case
the groom and best man await the
bride at the altar with the clergyman.
In the Episcopal and Roman Catholic
Communion the use of the ring is obi
gatory, and it is usual in most mar
rage ceremonies. The best man takes
the ring and gives it to the bridegroom,
who passes it to the bride, and she
hands it to the clergyman, who gives
it to the bridegroom, who then places
it on the third finger of the bride IS
left hand. This completes the circle,
petuity of the compact.
THE BRIDEGROOM IS DRESS.
If the bride at an evening wedding
wears an elaborate gown in white, with |
train and veil, the groom TO be conven |
tionally correct should wear evening
dress. IF the groom dislikes this, and
prefers to wear frock coat, gray trou
sers, white vest and tie, the bride
should not wear a VEIL Bride and /
groom may or may not wear gloves, |
