HANDY TO KNOW

HINTS TO BRIDES. Don’t keep the bridegroom and the clergy Avaiting. In granny’s (lays it was considered the right thing for the bride to dally behind a little after the appointed hour for a Avedding; but in these days it is not the thing. She should be right on time, and not keep her bridesmaids waiting in a draughty porch and her liusband-to-be at the altar. Five minutes seems an age to the poor agitated man, keeping up a forced conA'crsation with his best man, with one eye glued to the chancel. If you have no time for sending aAvay wedding cake, don't worry. The custom is fast going out of fashion, with many other old customs. Wedding veils are seldom worn over the bride’s face noAvadays, but arranged round the head in a manner most pleasing to the wearer. The bride’s mother usually chooses the wedding cards. and she should be warned against selecting those made of rough paper, although in their unlettered state they look the most attractive. But when it comes to having them printed with silver lettering, the lettering does not show up Avell; it has a blurred eflect, which it difficult to read.
