THE WEDDING
MARCH
Mrs. Cornelius BeeckmanI
nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

~ Does the brides mother as
well as her father give her in
marriage?
2. Can the best man. who Is a
brother OF the groom. walk in
with the groom?
8. In walking out after the cere-
mony, does the maid OF honor
walk alone. when there Is
matron of honor to walk out
with the best man? L. B.
The bride walks In with her
father. who presents her in mar
riage. They walk the last OF
the professional. The brides
mother is the last person who is
seated before the wedding pro-
cessional. 1t Is very bad form
impossible form--to seat anyone
after the brides mother has been
seated. She sits in the first pew
on the left, since she is the hostess
of the occasion. She does not
participate in the presentation Of
her daughter in marriage.
2. Not only can the best man
walk in with the groom, but he
should. The clergyman, groom,
and best man wait in the vestry
room or some other room at the
front OF the church for the signal
that the professional is ready to
start. Then they come from this
room-first the clergyman, then
the groom, and the best man.
They wait at the ChanCel stairs
for the bride.
3. 1t is the best form for the
best man not to take part in the
recessionaI. The maid of honor
should walk out alone, II she has
walked in alone. And so should
the matron Of honor. If they
have walked in together, they
should walk out together. In the
meantime the best man goes to
the vestry to give the clergy
man his fee (given to him by the
groom), and to collect the hat
and coat Of the groom, to take
to him in the cab at the front
Of the church.

Wednesday to Board

! Governor A. G. Sorlic will head
the delegation which will meet the
Crown Prince and Princess Louise of
Sweden at Steele Wednesday night
and accompany them to Bismarck. In
addition to the governor, the commit
tee which will meet the prince will
include A. p. Lenhart, executive
head Of the City of Bismarck. and
DR.. f. p. Quain. In announcing the
names Of the committee, Judge A.
NJ. Christianson. in charge Of the ar
ra.gcments, stressed the probability
that Others will be included in the
committee in addition to those al
ready named. He thought it very
likely he will go to Steele with the
committee but was not certain. No
plans have been made here to send
anyone to meet the prince ut Fargo
when he enters the state.
Neither have there been any clabo-
rate preparations for his visit here.
The short duration Of his stay pre-
cludes tho possibility of a public re-
ception ut the auditorium. The rail
way station will probably be decorat-
cd in his honor.

believed to be free of blame and
their only connection was friend

The consensus in Madrid, it is de-
clared, is that the conspiracy was in
spired by patriotic motives, particu-
larly because of dissatisfaction in
Madrid caused by the new tax laws
and in the army because sof the. sub
stitution of the merit system in
