BINARY MARSHALL DUFFEE

VETHEN a man asks friend to be
w an usher at his wedding 1t Is
an indication Of feeling Of warm per
sonal attachment and esteem, and the
request should be taken as such. How
ever, If, for any reason when you re-
ceive such a request, you find that you
cannot conveniently comply, you
should not hesitate to decline, stating,
of course, your reason for so doing, II
the brldegroom.to-be Is person whose
acquaintance you value highly. Some
times young persons with more wealth
than social position and more mere &C
uuaintances than real friends, will ask
a young man whom they know but
slightly, but who would be social as
set, to act in this capacity. In this case
the one requested would far better de-
cline than to perform the duties OF
usher while In his heart he is annoyed
at the request.
Whatever he decides to do, he should
decide within three or four days Of the
request In formal society, shortly
after this the chosen usher makes
more or less formal call upon the
bride-to-be and her mother, or, If he
has not met them, he asks the BRIDE
groom to take him TO call. After this
| his role is to await further instruc-
!. tions from the bride and her mother,
or from the bridegroom. Matters OF
dress are settled by the bridegroom
and discussed among the other ush-
ers. From the brides family he re-
crives instructions as to the exact
time for his arrival at the church or
the house the day of the ceremony, and
plans for rehearsal. Nothing ex-
cuses the usher from sending the bride
wedding present, though, If he is not
well able to do so, he should not make
it matter Of very great cost.
Although ushers are chosen by the
bridegroom, they take all instructions
from the bride or her mother, and they
should bear in mind that they are the
guests of the BRIDES family and in no
way Of the bridegroom during the we'd
ding.
Sometimes ushers offer their arms
to women guests whom they are to
seat, but this is not always done. 1t
| is necessary, therefore, for the usher
TO learn from the brides mother or the
bride what is her wish In this matter,
and then to carry it out. The ushers
should make formal call upon the
brides mother following the wedding.
The usher should also learn the time
of the return Of the bride. and groom
after their wedding trip, and should
make it his duty to call upon them
also.
