we spoke last week of the ushers at a

to do. The best man and maid Of honor
also have their special work cut out for
them The best man accompanies the
bridegroom when he comes from the chan
eel to meet the bride. He also keeps the
ring until II is time for 1t TO be used
in the ceremony, and. at the house, 1t is
the best man who Is with the bridegroom
when he is ready TO start for the carriage,
and who usually carries the luggage down
and is supposed to protect the bridal pair,
II possible. from the onslaught of rice
and confetti which is usually directed at
them. Tho maid of honor precedes the
bride UP the aisle. takes her bouquet from
her at the altar. and when she turns to 60
down the aisle gives II back to her and
then arranges her train for her The
bridesmaids have no special duties but to
look as charming as possible They walk
up the aisle, two by two. after the ushers
and before the maid Of honor. Usually
they are dressed alike. and they carry
bouquets or baskets of flowers The we'd
ding party which includes maid of honor
bridesmaids and flower girls is always
considered one of the prettiest to have.

The little work that was made
on Terrace during the year is q
good example of what some atten-
ton will do to keep a road in good
order, as it is today the best road
in the parish, it is just like a pave
ment, simply because the use of
the drag smoothed the surface
in way that no water remained
on it. But right now it would
again need dragging and perhaps
a few touches to correct some lit
tie defects; if this is done, that
road will be kept in good order
when all the other roads that did
not receive the same attention are
bad.
