WHEN A GIRLS MARRIED.
Customs Preceding and Attending the
Ceremony-The Fashionable Hour.

Customs Preceding and Attending the
Ceremony-The Fashionable Hour.
This is the time Of the year when
the bride dourishes in the land. The
customs attending a wedding are so
varied and complicated that perhaps 1t
will be well to give a short recital OF
them from the brides point Of view.
A short time before the eventful day
she gives a luncheon or a dinner party
to her bridesmaids, which is practical
" her last appearance in society as a
girl On this occasion the souvenirs In
tended for the bridesmaids are given
out
Though bride elect does not person
ally ask any one to serve as usher, she
selects a number of ushers from among
her own relatives and friends, and
when they have been asked and have
consented to serve she or her mother
gives them careful directions as to the
part they are to play in the wedding
procession and in seating guests. On
the morning of the wedding the bride
sends to the house of every gentle
man in her escort the boutonniere she
wishes him to wear. These are the
flowers that predominant in the bridal
decorations.
Any hour between half past 10 in
the morning and 8 at night Is perfectly
fitting to celebrate with more or less
pomp the marriage ceremony.
foc h q n
cordance with the England custom,
high noon, or Il o'clock precisely, but
the most popular time is between 3
and in the afternoon, when an easily
conducted reception can succeed the
ceremony and when ample time is af-
forded the bride and her mother to
prepare every detail of the designed
entertainment. Night weddings are
neither so fashionable nor so frequent
as formerly.
In the case of church wedding the
chaneel is banked with fine palms, the
altar crowded with flowers, and a rope
of flowers is cast across the center
aisle in place of the traditional white
ribbon. In a country church field and
garden flowers should be used to give
simple effect.
Whether the weather is fair or foul
an awning leads to the edge Of the
sidewalk. Under this is strip of
carpet
The mother and the bridesmaids go
to the church first; then the bride and
the father arrive. The vestibule and
center aisle are cleared of guests by
the ushers, and the procession Of bride
and bridesmaids forms in the vestibule
and proceeds up the center aisle.
The ushers proceed first. two by two,
followed by the bridesmaids in sim
liar order Next comes the maid Of
honor, walking alone, and behind her
the bride on the arm of her father.
eArrived at the foot Of the altar, the
ushers and bridesmaids divide, half to
the left and half to the right

bride leaves the arm of her father to

CHIC STYLES.
The Fancy For Lingerie Embroidered
In coIor-AIl Over Lace Stock.


1t is now quite the fad to have lin
gerie embroidered in pink and blue,
according to fancy. The tub dress be-
comes quite simple problem when it
can be unbuttoned from top to bottom,
both back and front, and from Shout
der seam to waist and laid fat on the
ironing board. 1t is as easy to iron
almost as a sheet, and there seems to
be no reason why the most economical
person should not have as many of
them as she chooses.
All over embroidery stocks are worn
this summer These stocks are made
high, but without points under the
ears. Wide Irish crochet insertion is
used for stocks on handsome white
waists 1t is bound at the sides and
back and is not finished with lace. but

POOH BAH OF THE SHOP.
A New York Woman Who Does the
Work of Six People.


Zoe Anderson Norris, Office Boy,
Business Manager. Managing Editor.

of the shop from which is issued d lit
tie MA gazine called the East Side. OF
course the titles on the sign are CAPT.

enteenth street. New York city.
Miss Norris wrote story over the
title THE Closed Door," She wanted
to exploit it, and then came the idea
that she could best do so by issuing
magazine that would lead up to the
story. The magazine in typographical
appearance is facsimile of Hub
bard's Philistine The literary favor
is piquant. The result Of the publica.
ton has made Miss Norris very happy.
It has likewise pleased her friends.
The taste of the editorial nectar has
put an edge on her appetite for pub
iicity, and she is moved to repeat the
experiment. More issues of the East
Side are to follow.
Nothing so interesting to those who
have been up against it, as the
adolescent who gets the first glimpse
of the green fields beyond, to whom
distance lends the enchantment that
fringes the pleasures Of hope.
Some of the experiences of this
young woman have been amusing.
One morning while arranging her
toilet young mulatto called and an
nounced that he wanted to help her
write her magazine. He addressed her
as ''sir" He addressed her as "sir"
several times. And all the while she
was girthing her kimono about her,
Of course he went away with a sad
face
Then there was young fellow who
lived at the Hungry club. He sub
scribed for the East Side because he
had lots0f things he wanted to say,
and he would say them in her mag
azine. She pocketed the young mans
money and strolled away. If he could
have heard her think he would have
heard something like this: you've
another think coming. There are many
things that want to say, too, that [
have never had a chance to say, much
as l have written. And when l have
said them in my little magazine there'1
be room for nothing else" All this,
she says. crossed her mind.
The magazine got a place on the
neWsstands. The editor saw a copy,
and in disinterested way, at least
in manner. she asked the young chap
in charge, How is it selling?"
"Oh, pretty WELL" the fellow replied,
'sbut l can't see why. 1 read it
through, every word, and l didn't see
nothin' to it."
The editor was hard hit. She turned
away to hide the tears that gathered,
and her heart made a record in beats.
She remembered that she had received

weight of an average hog. rarely miss
ing the exact figures more than one or
two pounds. Before she began the
business she used to read the current
prices of stock and got to be an au-

often called her up TO get the prices.
