GROOM DOESN'T FURNISH
MORE THAN LAW ALLOWS
Desperate Young Person Writes Madly to Find
Who Pays for Deep Searching Hacks at
Fashionable Church Weddings.

Some desperate young person filings
the following at The Times-Dispatch:
Does the bride or groom furnish
carriages at wedding for attendants,
preacher and tho use of the bridal
party to the depot?"
Strange as it may seem, this Is a
question which has added TO the get
ting-ready worry OF no end of young
couples preparing to make the plunge.
All the very best authorities on am
nexation say that 1t is not etiquette for
the groom to furnish anything for his
own wedding except the ring and the
roses for the bride, presents for the
bridesmaids and the best man, some
tokens for the ushers and OF course 50
or so for the d. D. who ties the knot.
He should not pay for the carriages
except for the one in which he is
hauled to the church. and sometimes the
one in which he sand the bride start
out on their honeymoon trip. This
disposition of the pre-nuptial expenses
Is very wisely ordered by etiquette for
the reason that until the minute he Is
actually married to her the man is

Had they so desired, the directors could

TOOL HOUSE NOW
is PU BL|C HALL
Ward Delegation Has Spent ST..
$50 on Building in Chin
borazo Park.

Somewhat to the. surprise of the
Council Committee on Grounds and
Buildings last night, it came ont that
the subcommittee on Chimborazo Park
has recently expended $3.50 on refit-
ting building in the park used prin-
e!pally for gatherings of a semi-politi-
cai character. and as a club house for
the East EEd Citizens Association
The, matter came to light over the
proposition to insure the building. and
the committee recommended. in view OF
its increased value, that It be insured
for $1,000, and that since so much
money has been spent. that electric
lights be installed and the work COM
pleted.
Technically the building is known as
a tool house." but 1t Is described by
members of the committee as two
story frame structure. the first floor be-
ing furnished as q public hall, with a
roof garden" though no accurate de-
scription of the roof garden" was
given to the committee. Some one eX-
pressed surprise that the Marshall
Ward delegation should have consent
ed to the erection OF SO extensive a
tool house" in the park when less
than year ago it strenuously opposed
tine ordinance granting the United
States government site there for the
Weather Bureau.
Mr. Don Leavy said that since such
extensive improvements have been
made at Chimborazo Park in the East
End. something should be done for
William Byrd Park, and asked esti-
mates on reftting the boat house and
the installation of public comfort sta
tions.
Mr.. Don Leavy expressed the regre
of the committee at the loss of Cap
tain j. r. Tucker, who retires from
the Council after having served but
one term, and Captain Tucker respond
ed expressing his cordial Friendship
for the members Of the committee OIL
