One of the things to puzzle a num- ber of is the position of the and groom in relation to each people BARON ted | WALKER. and, last, the bride and her father. The bridegroom, with his best man to his left, awaits the bride’s ap- proach and stands facing her. After the ceremony the bride and groom lead the procession from the altar. The best man attends the mauid of honor and each bridesmaid is attend- ed by one of the ushers. What He Should Wear. It has been asked If it is proper for a bridegroom to wear a navy blue uit at an informal home wedding when the bride is wearing a white satin gown with veil. The bride- groom regulates his attire according to the time of day and the informality of the wedding. These do not govern the bride's attire, though she may not wear the prescribed costume if she does not choose to do so. It is mot the hour of the wedding nor formality or informality of the casion that governs in her case, how- ever. As for the bridegroom, it is not flagrantly fncorrect for him to wear a blue serge sult, but it is not advised. For a morning wedding a two or three button sack coat of Ox- ford gray, with trousers to match, entirely permissible. A cutawa it in this same color is approved by fashion. This suit Is gaining in fash fon over the present regulation style of black cutaway and black trou with pin stripes of white. Of course, a tuxedo or swallow-tail coat is not worn before 6 o'clock in the evening. ers Wedding Announcements.
