The Etiquette of Weddings

INF ALL things that must be ac-
~ complished according to set Gus
toms a wedding requires the closest
following of accepted rules. In order
that the celebration of the ceremony
and all the Incidental events may
move smoothly and successfully, NH
mute attention must be given to all the
details of preparation for the occasion,
from the assembling Of the wedding
party to the departure Of the bridal
pair on their honeymoon. Leaving
out the matter Of the trousseau--which
is a separate affair-there are many
other things that must be considered
and adjusted.
To begin at the beginning-there
are the invitations. At least three
weeks and even month before the
day Of the ceremony, these are to be
sent out to lists of names which In
clude those furnished by the groom
whose mother or sister assists in max
ing up his list. The brides parents
furnish the invitations and announce
ments and the latter are to be mailed
Immediately after the wedding to
friends who have not been invited to
attend the ceremony. No near rela-
tive or close friends are to be over
looked, even though they live too far
away to come conveniently. The we'd

are to be engraved on heavy white

makes the most of this advantageous
start. In spite Of the disparity in
these materials the two frocks have
several features in common; both are

frocks is distinctive enough to answer
for somewhat more formal dress than

to.
Taking note Of the small items that
go to make up the success Of the
georgette frock, it appears that the
straight underskirt has no hem, but is
finished with picot edge. Its tunic
is long and full, draped and shortened
at the sides and embellished with
handsome embroidery in silk at the
front and back. There are three-Quar-

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

They are 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 1t. He thinks it is coon
in a tree"
Don't you call me a tree" she
stormed, and then began to cry. 81

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 deferring 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 a 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 90 out

precedes them alone. In this case
the best man 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 1t.

Base Cutting legislation.
The old, old argument involving a
player cutting base on a play in
which he is followed across the plate
| by runner who touches all sacks is
made clear. The offending runner is
out, but the men following him are
entitled to. whatever they deserve.
a The wording Of this rule at first glance
l looked like. a piece Of radical legislation.

Imagine this situation: Men on first

out of the lot. Man on second cuts
third and man from first and hitter
score. This particular clause does not
specify the number Of outs, hence at
first glance it would seem that the two
runs counted, even though the out was
the third and retiring one.
