AS IT APPEARED TO HIM
Hubby Had No Difficulty at All In
Classifying His Wife as
Species of Tree.

They are a husband and wife who
have many quarrels. And she is not
a fair antagonist, because she always
weeps during every quarrel in order to
win her point. The other night she
brought home a new fur hat which
she proudly exhibited to her husband,
who did not like it, and proceeded to
say so. "Why, it looks queer to even
the dog" he ended. Look how he's
barking at it. He thinks it is a coon
in a tree"
Don't you call me a tree" she
stormed, and then began to cry. 81

church, the fees to the sexton, the
awning at the church door, the music,
the expenses of the reception, furnish
ing motors for the bride and her at
tendants. If the bride is an orphan
with no close relatives and is married
under the chaperonage of married
friend, she assumes these expenses
herself. The bride decides upon the
gowning of her attendants, her maid
or matron of honor, maids and flower
girl dcferring absolutely to her In this
matter. On the day before the wed.
ding the bride entertains her attend
ants at luncheon and presents each
with q souvenir. She selects her at.
tendants from among her own and
the groom's relatives, including in the
cortege close friends as well.
A few days before the wedding the
bridal procession Is rehearsed, with
every member of the bridal party
present and with the music to be
played at the wedding. On the day of
the wedding motors are sent for the
maids and the maid Of honor, who as.
semble at the home Of the bride where
they receive their bouquets. AT the
ceremony the maids are to stand in
the positions decided upon and leave
the church In pairs or each with an
usher. The maid of honor will hold
the brides bouquet or prayer book,
which the bride hands to her at the
proper time, returning them at the end
of the rite of plighting troths. At
the end of the ceremony the maid Of
honor may throw back the face veil,
if one is worn by the bride and see
that the train falls gracefully. When
the bridesmaids leave the church
each in company with an usher then
the maid of honor is escorted by the
best man. But If the maids go out
two by two. the attendant of honor
precedes them alone. In this case
the best nan goes out by the vestry
door and goes from there to the place
of the reception. The motor which
brought him and the groom to the
church takes the bride and groom
away from it.
A good many duties fall to the lot
of the best man. who is chosen by the
groom. who also selects the ushers.
These usually include several rela-
tives or friends of the bride. Just be.
fore the wedding the groom gives a
farewell bachelor dinner to his best
man and ushers and presents each
with souvenir, usually scarf pin OF
other bit of jewelry. He also may In.
struct his best man to see that the
cravats he may choose for the ushers

houses the day before the wedding

Stand BY Your Guns

If some of the persons who write
anonymous letters to officials in re-
gard TO violations Of the laws would
place any evidence they may have in
the hands Of the district attorney and
would back up their statements with
their oaths, there would be less trou-
Bile in enforcing the laws. 1t is one
thing to be satisfied in your own
mind that the law is being violated
and quite another thing TO produce
evidence enough to warrant a con
viction or even an arrest. Many WE'LL
meaning persons complain because
this person or that person is not con-
victed of the violation of some law
and at the same time will not testify
to facts which they know. Lawbreak-
ers realize this and take advantage
of the fact. If you are not willing
to furnish the information you have
and stand by it, do not write a letter
of complaint and leave your name
off. You'have a right to demand that
officers do their duty, but you should
do your duty as a citizen also. Stand
by your guns.
