Children's Manners Are Important

children are self-assertfve. RIDE and

dren should be taught by example,
as we'll as by precept. to play their
games together tremendously, and to
yield to others. if necessary. They
should be told repeatedly that right
conduct consists in recognizing and
deferring to the rights of others.
These minor graces are their pass
ports into society. The doing of a
thing in a coarse. rude manner should
be shown as sure way of hurting
whoever may witness it. and, except
in rare Eases. a child will refrain
from doing anything which will an
noy those he loves. Children usually
have so large a bump of appreciation
that they can easily be led by the
thought. IF am polite and pleasant,

one of the accomplishments not
usually recognized as such is the art
of pleasing. Many children possess
this by nature. and their naive SIM
plicity is charming. But there are
still other little amenities or lire

carry white flowers, as this is alone the
brides privilege.

her nearest male relative; and. following

being at the altar to meet the bride be-
fore she leaves the door.
The costume of bride who has d
church wedding of any size. is, day or
night, the usual thing of bridal white-a
long trained dress of satin or silk made
high in the neck and with rich bodice
decorations of lace. Her hair is elab-
orately arranged and she carries her bou-
quet under the long veil of net lace or
tulle which completely covers her face
and the best part of her dress.
The bridegroom wears for a day we'd
ding black frock. a double-breasted
pique waistcoat. white linen. a white silk
or satin tie. and gray suede gloves. With
the night ceremony. complete evening
dress is customary-the swallow tail coat
and trousers OF black cloth. n low-cut
white waistcoat, standing collar. lawn tie,
white dressed kid gloves. and patent
leather shoes.
As bridegrooms are usually bashfui
enough, the only rules for church be-
havior. as far as the happy couple are
concerned. are for the bride.
Upon approaching the altar she must
walk with her head modestly lowered
and her veil completely covering her face.
But after the nuptial blessing the first
bridesmaid may lift the brides veil and
gracefully dispose 1t at the back of her
coiffure with the pin with which the
bridesmaid has provided herself. In this
case the bride returns to her carriage on
her ew husbands arm with her face
uncovered. She may fling ghost of a
smile then to somebody in passing-to
her mother. perhaps-but somehow no
recognition of any of the church COM
pany is thought better form.
Upon leaving the church nobody enters
the carriage of the bride and bridegroom.
and at the house congratulations, as the
word goes, are given entirely to the
bridegroom. for the bride is supposed To
be comforting the joy and not receiv-
ing IT.
In the Episcopal Church it is custom
airy for the Bride and bridegroom to sign
their names in the register before leav-
ing. when the best man serves as first
witness and the first bridesmaid as sec
ond. The bride also sometimes hands 4
gift of money to the clergyman for his
poor, or else slips it herself into the poor
box upon going out Of the door. This
