Flower Girl

Flower Glrl
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
My very young daughter has
been asked to be a flower girl
at a friends wedding. The bride
elect wishes to pay for her out
fit. Is it proper for me to &C
cept, or should I defray this eX-
penSe myself?
Where is the proper place for
a flower girl and ringbearer in
the professional and on leaving
the church?
Does the ringbearer remain
standing with the bridal party
during the marriage ceremony?
D.
This is an unusual offer, and
a very generous one, for the
bride-to-be to make to you, and
since she has made it, it is quite
proper for you to accept it.
It is the custom, generally,
for each attendant Of the bride
to pay for her own costume,
even though it is the bride her
self who outlines what that cos
tune 1t to be. And so usually
you would be expected TO buy

your little daughters costume.
But the bride-to-be wouldn't
make this suggestion if she
didn't mean it, and so it would
be gracious for you to accept.
In the professional, the flower
girl walks after the maid Of
honor, and before the bride and
her father. In the occasional,
the flower girl walks after the
bride and groom, and before the
maid of honor.
It is not accepted as good
form to have a ringbearer at a
wedding. 1t is provincial, and
adds a fuSsy note rather than .
picturesque or pictorial one.
If the bride insists on having
ringbearer, he might walk in
front of the flower girl, or after
her. And after the ring part Of
the ceremony, he would go or be
taken to the pew in which his
parents are seated, probably in
the pew behind that in which
the brides mother is seated. He
would not take part in the re-
cessional. ;

Stock Market Had Busiest Session To-day Since June
WeekLyReDielUO OfNeuO England Conditions
Large Volume of Holiday Purchasing Noted Depart
 ment Store Sales We'll Ahead of Last Year

Boston, Dec 27-(U.P. )-An 'ex- ceptionally large volume of holiday purchasing was cited by Dun and Bradstreet, Inc, in the weekly re- view of New England trade con- ditions to-day, Twas a factor to be treckoned with in the future manu- featuring trend.
 :'Department store sales ran we'll ahead of last year's," the review said, land in most quarters aver aged 10 to 12 per cent ahead of the 1888 total.
 wholesalers are seasonally quiet, receiving only last-minute orders of moderate volume, but are looking to an active resumption of trade as soon as the year-end ln- ventories are completed.
 "The electrical output during the past week was Al per cent ahead of the corresponding week of last year and showed a gain of O.6 per cent over the previous week. New England car headings are up Tor the first time in several weeks and showed a gain of 2.8 per cent over the corresponding week or last year.
 Business in the Boston wool market was much slower during the week, usual seasonal char acteristic. Prices all along the line were well maintained. New orders for wool tops also showed a shrink age, but deliveries on orders all ready on hand were well main tained.
 "Although the mills continue at very good rate of activity, ana most plants are sold quite far ahead, there has been very little activity in the goods market during the week, as most houses are con- cerned with inventory problems.
 Several advances have been re- corded by the leading interest ana some grades of mems suits were marked up as much as Dc yaro' Stocks of wool at the mills gen. erally are conceded to be low anu it is expected that the market Will resume activities soon aIter Ine first of the year.
 "Cotton consumption in New England decreased IS per cent In November, as compared with No- vember, 1883, and spindle activity during the same period decreased 4 per cent. During the past few weeks. however, there has been considerable pickup in activity at the cotton mills, and some of these are buster than for several months with an increasing volume of or ders in sight.
 "Prices on the finished cotton goods again have been marked up during the week and, although this has had a tendency, to some extent, to reduce orders, the mar ket continues firm, and a falr amount of business is being oooK- ed.
 Hides are being firmly held at present quotations. but the turn over has been moderate. Recent advances in the raw materials have given very firm tone to the lea ther market, with the outlook of advancing prices and higher costs of the finished shoes.

 Steel shares firmed, especially the independent companies several of which are now operating in the black. Inland Steel made new high at 54K, up 2K and several others rose fractionally. U. s. Steel was fairly active although it. did not participate in the buying.
 Automobile issues were active and firm. Motor equipments and tire shares also were better. Elec- trical equipments had big turn- over, especially Westinghouse Electric which gained more than point at its high. General Elec- tric. selling exdividends, was about unchanged.
 Chemical shares slipped off as did some of the special issues. Oils were barely steady. Profit-taking reduced prices of few of the mercantile shares after their re- cent gains. Mail order issues. however. were firm.
 National Distillers featured it's division in activity, rising fractions ally while other wet goods were bixed. Silvers were up moderately. Tobaccos strengthened, notably Phillip Morris which gained more than 2 points.

TWO EXAMPLES OF THE COMPLEXITY
 OF JUSTICE SEEN
P POli C e m in Could Not Prove to Court That Girls
 Did Obscene Dance

New York, Dec. 27.-(UP).- Persons who closely follow court procedure, and there are thousands of them, concluded today that the administration of justice becomes more and more complex.
 The had two examples.
 Magistrate Jonah J. Goldstein was required to decide if a dance performed by seven girls in a bur lesque theater in scanty attire was lewd and obscene. The complaining witness was Policeman Francis Hunt, six feet tall, weight POT 3-4 pounds. Magistrate Goldstein want ed to know how the girls had been dressed.
 "In gadgets,' said Policeman Hunt.
 "Gadgets?"
 Yeah! You know-those white silk bands they wear.'
 Well, show me how they were dancing"
 Policeman Hunts POT 3-4 pounds weaver voluptuously across the room, his hips and shoulders shak- ing.
 Magistrate Goldstein saw nothing lewd in that and dismissed the charge.
 The case before Magistrate Da- vid Hirshteld was a bird of an- other color, in fact a bird of bright red and yellow plummage- a parrot.
 Mrs Rosa Gallo, who lives with her brother, three police dogs, two cats and two parrots, said 1t was her Cicillo who flew away. months ago. She located him in the pet shop of William Fritschler. who sair it was his parrot. Mrs Gallo said her Cicillo spoke Italian fiuently. Fritschler said his parrot spoke no Italian at all.
 Court was adjourned while Fritschler went for the parrot. Mrs Gallo approached the cage, de- manding a kiss. The parrot said: Hello. Rosa"
 He said it in Italian and so Mrs Gallo was awarded the bird.

New York. Dec 27-(UP) - Trading on the stock exchange to- day picked up to around 1,5O0,000 shares, one of the largest sessions since late June. Prices firmed in many issues and the averages hich include the leading stocks rose slightly.
 A large amount of the business was traceable to tax selling since today is the last day one can sell for a tax loss in the regular way Stock exchange rules provide for two-day delivery and there are no deliveries on Saturday. Hence to- days deals will call for delivery Monday. Any tax selling in the re- maining sessions of the year must be for cash and immediate deliv- cry Of stock.
 A feature of the session was a pickup in rialroad equipment shares with New York Air Brake making a new high for the year at 2S up points. The rise was based on hopes the new congress would aid the railroads financially and thus permit them to buy equip ment. Railroad shares were firm with gains ranging to a point.
 Consolidated Gas common stock again was the center of activity. It declined to within 1-8 point of its record low made yesterday and then firmed to a fractional gain. Directors cut the dividend from 50 cents a share to 25 cents share, but this bad news actually was good news since the trading fra ternity had anticipated elimination of the dividend.
 Other utilities firmed with Con- solidated although some of them met further selling early in the day. Laclede Gas preferred which has recently been inactive, appear cd at new low at 27 off z. Gains
