A short time ago at a London wedding the bridesmaids preceded tbr bride Instead of following ber to tbr altar, an American notion.' and on that, I think, we might well copy. The English Idea that the bride should be made the chief object of the procession Is laudable, and to allow her maids to go in front of ber makes btr more conspicuous, for they do but call attention to tbe great per sonage of tbe procession, while at tbr same time they gan more than the usual amount of observation they ao compllsh for themselves. The chief maid of honor In America walks quite alone; she is usually the sister of the bride or her dearest friend. There are also ushers who take tbeir places by the other bridesmaids and act as tbeir groomsmen. It is pleasant to have groomsmen among us again. If only on account of as the their obliging amiability squires of the bridesmaids after tbe ceremony, but they do not look well la n procession unless they come behind tbe bride as ber guard of honor.
