Vicar and Eton Crop
I ! I WHEN BRIDESMAIDS MAY DISPENSE WITH HEAD COVERINGS L_ i
Expressing satisfaction in his parish magazine that confetti is no longer used at weddings at his church, the vicar of Hook, Surbiton, England, the Rev. J. Alban Davies, the old Welsh International footballer, adds: “I should like to draw the attention of future bridesmaids to the detail of headgear at weddings. Our patron saint (St. Paul) refers to the covering of the head in church, and this embraces more than the surrounding of the head by a band. “Until a further Prayer Book re- • vision, say in another 300 years’ time, sanctions the abolition of headgear in church, as a result of the universal ’ i adoption of the ’Eton crop.’ it is well • i to keep to the present practice of havi ing the head covered, if only by a veil.”
