Miss cunIIffe's chum Attends Her
Wedding, Just Like BEST Man,
THE best girl" at a wedding Is an
innovation that is startling society. It
Is the novel idea Of Miss Saffron Pick
erpgill Cunliife, who was married at
st. Paul's Church. Knightsbridge. to
Arthur Bertram Randolph. son Of the
late Arthur Randolph Randolph, OF
Eastcourt, Malmesbury. whose wife
was from South Carolina.
Instead OF having a bevy Of fair
maidens in attendance at the wedding.
the brides great chum. Miss Coxhead,
acted as best girl. undertaking exact
ly the same duties as James Gordon.
the best man, undertook for his ohum.
Miss Coxhead, the best girl, apprO-
priately costumed, entered the church
BY the vestry door, where she waited
until the bride arrived, then took up
her stand on the left hand side at the
top centre OF the aisle exactly oppo-
site the best man. Her duties we're
to hold the brides bouquet and her
gloves. and to see that the kneeling
stool was in position for the bride.
At the conclusion Of the ceremony
the bride and bridegroom we're fol.
lowed to the vestry by the best girl
and best man. who signed the register
as witnesses. Then they escorted the
happy couple to their carriage to see
them OF to the Hyde Park Hotel.
where the brides mother held a re.
ception
The bride. who is the pretty daugh-
ter Of Mrs. Pickersgill Cunliffe, Of st.
Aughton Manor Huntingdonshire. and
No. 20 Bgerton Terrace, London. and
one of the most popular girls in socie-
ty. said concerning the innovation;
"I don't see why | shouldn't have
my best girl chum in close attend
| auce upon me on my wedding day,
when Arthur can have his best man
chum supporting him"
Besides. she said. she does not see
the use for bridesmaids who only
crowd the aisle and prevent many
guests from seeing anything Of the ac
| tual ceremony. Society attended the
Wedding In great numbers

A sh.mpoo sosrd.

The one drawback Of the visiting
hairdresser is that many Of the appli-
ances in use In a flrst-class establish
ment are wanting.
Chief among these appliances is a
shampoo board. There are various
kinds, but most Of them are Of metal,
with a curved space for the back Of
the neck, and grooves on which the
hair is laid and the water runs into
the stationary basin.
With the use OF one Of these boards
the fatigue Of leaning over a wash
stand for a half hour while the hair is
washed and rinsed Is done away with.
One can sit comfortably In a chair
with the neck resting on the board
and the hair spread over IT,
The stout woman who objects to
stopping, or any one with weakness of
heart and shortness Of breath. likes
the board, which can be screwed to
any washstand. 1t is restful and lends
added benefit to the scalp treatments,

and its advantage over the old style
washboard lies in the fact that the
front, or rubbing surface, is curved
outwardly. thereby resulting in great
saving OF -elbOw grease" on the part
OF the user. The board is made OF a
single sheet OF metal. with its edges
slitted and a shelf over the top. The
body portion. or rubbing portion. Is
convex and roughened so that even a
light pressure on clothing passed over
It will give all the results Of hard rub
bing over the ordinary iat washboard
with its corrugations. The outward
curve OF the new board fills out wet
garments much better than fiat sur
face would do and a wider surface
Of the garments is affected than on
the old style board.
