THE GROOM'S
BROTHER

Can the GroOm's Brother BE
Rest Man?
nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
II can groom's brother, who
IL also engaged. be the best man.
and the brides sister be maid
OF honor?
(2l Should the best mans
sweetheart serve as bridesmaid.
coupled with the maid Of honor's
sweetheart, to whom she II not
as yet engaged?
(3) Would you not consider it
best II the groom's brother serve
as best man. and his sweetheart
as the maid Of honor?
A READER.
Yes, this Is the usual choice.
That is, 1t is customary for the
groom to invite his brother to be
his best man, and 1t il customary
for the bride to invite her sister
to be her maid Of honor. The
fact that the groom's brother Is
engaged makes no difference in
this arrangement.
(2) Such choices are not at all
necessary. The bride chooses her
attendants from among her
friends, and 1t is not at all taken
for granted, nor should 1t be,
that the attachments" OF the
groom's attendants be invited by
the bride to serve as her attend
ants. Therefore, it is not necessary
for her to invite the fiancee Of
the best man to serve as one or
her bridesmaids, nor should the
rlancee expect to be asked.
Indeed l should not consider
this best! Why should the
fiancee of the groom's brother
be the maid of honor of the
bride? There is no reason in the
world, since in this case the
bride has sister. What reason
has the bride for disregarding her
sister and asking some one else?
The position Of maid Of honor IL
very important and significant
one, and the brides sister should
expect to be asked to be the
maid OF honor. If were she
would feel deeply hurt not to be
invited. If the bride has no
sister, and il the fiancee Of the
best man were the brides best
friend. then 1t would be appro-
pirate for the bride to invite her
to occupy this place of maid Of
honor. But even then, only If
she wishes to. Apparently, this
Is not the case. 1 hope that the
best mans fiancee is not taking
a. ridiculous attitude that she
should be the maid Of honor. II
she is, 1 feel sorry that she has
such poor taste.
nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ am planning a miscel-
laneous shower for a dear little
friend and would like to know
II the young men are invited to
these affairs, or are they strictly
feminine gatherings? 1t will be
an evening affair, from 8 to IL.
(2) Does one serve sandwiches
or would ice cream and cake be
enough? e. L. s. D.
Usually showers are strictly
feminine gatherings" but since
yours is to be in the evening,
see no reason why, If you wish,
you should not make it for both
the ladies and their "beaux."
ca think that you had better
have some sandwiches, as well
as the cake and ice cream. Espe-
cially If you are going to invite
the gentlemen! And 1t would be
best, too, to have a hot drink
coffee or chocolate.
