ABOUT WEDDINGS By P. q. WO,lellOUSc


 Fashionable weddings! What pie lures, what memories the words coniure up!
 The bride, with her set. deter mined face. The bridegroom wish ing he could run, not walk. to the nearest exit. The ushers slightly pickled. endeavoring to persuade the distance connection, with the ticket marked Z-19, that she is not en- titled to a ringside seat.
 Many changes have taken place of late in the procedure of smart weddings.
 It is not the fashion nowadays to have detectives at wedding recep- tions. It was pretty custom but the growing hideousness of wedding presents has made the passing ok the detective inevitable. No sane bride or bridegroom would deliber- ately put obstacles in the wa. of the removal of the ghastly things which have been given them by friends who had not the presence of mind to leave the country before the wedding invitations reached them.
 Curiously enough. the rejected suitor has ceased, almost as com- pletely as the detective, to be fea- ture of the best weddings. A few years ago bride thought very poorly of herself if she could not muster among her wedding guests half a dozen or more discarded suitors. Occasionally, this would lead to pretty and spontaneous ef- feet. as when young Clarence de Puyster blew his brains out with one hand while shaking the brides hand with the other at the Bootle- Bartholomew wedding reception. The incident was the talk of the town for quite a time. and undoubt- edly did much 10 establish the new ly married pair in the secure social | position which they now enjoy. lI Of recent years the popularity of the home wedding has grown until it now threatens to make the church wedding thing of the past. I. personally. am strong advocate of | the wedding in the home. It has numerous advantages principally. 1 of course. the fact that you are 1 closer to the refreshments. It is not l however, without its drawbacks. l cannot impress too strongly upon young people who are thinking of ! getting married in the accstral apartment. the advisability of dis ceremony begins. Nothing looks worse than to have the bridegroom just when the cue is coming for his big line. called away to clinch deal in Peanuts Preferred.

 Having Much Sleep

London. Jan. IS RIThe Daily Mail said today that King George had enjoyed long periods of sleep during the last few days and his interest in palace affairs had re- awakened. He was not allowed to read, however. since the effort at concentration might prove too great.
