A reader tells me: "Our church
has newly acquired a white runner
to be laid down the aisle at we'd
dings. We do not know whether
this is to be put down before any
of the guests arrive or just before
the bride herself walks up the
aisle"
Since its sole object is to pro-
tect the freshness of the bride S
train from the dust, or possible
mud, in bad weather from the
shoes of the guests, it is rolled
(unrolled actually up the aisle
just before the wedding process
sion begins. This is really a yes
terday's custom rather than to-
days but it can be very practical
in bad weather.
