But it is true; and, if it were only for the "looks of the thing," it is more decent, more elegant, and more correct for the young couple to be accompanied by a chaperon until married. Society allows an engaged girl to drive with her fianc, in an open carriage, but it does not approve of his taking her in a close carriage to an evening party.
The members of the bride's family go to the church before the bride; the bridegroom and his best man await them at the altar. The bride comes last, with her father or brother, who is to give her away. She is joined at the altar step by her fianc,, who takes her hand, and then she becomes his for life.
She may use her discretion about accepting a camel's-hair shawl from a man old enough to be her father, but she should never receive jewellery from any one but a relative or her fianc, just before marriage. The reason for this is obvious. It has been abused the privilege which all men desire, that of decking women with finery.
With us the cards of the bride and her parents, and sometimes of the fianc,, are sent to all friends before the wedding, and those of the invitation to the wedding to a few only, it may be, or to all, as the family desire. After the marriage, the cards of the married pair, with their address, are sent to all whose acquaintance is desired.
As for the conduct of the betrothed pair during their engagement, our American mammas are apt to be somewhat more lenient in their views of the liberty to be allowed than are the English. With the latter, no young lady is allowed to drive alone with her fianc,; there must be a servant in attendance. No young lady must visit in the family of her fianc,, unless he has a mother to receive her.
A young lady should write a note of thanks to every one who sends her a present before she leaves home; all her husband's friends, relatives, etc., all her own, and to people whom she does not know these notes should especially be written, as their gifts may be prompted by a sense of kindness to her parents or her fianc,, which she should recognize.
The young artist goes about her copying unquestioned, but in society, with its different laws, she must be under the care of an older woman than herself. A chaperon is indispensable to an engaged girl. The mother, or some lady friend, should always accompany a young fianc,e on her journeys to the various places of amusement and to the watering-places.
This is the identical note. You have all heard the various theories of the jar and have read the note. Here it is in plain, cold black and white in Dr. Dixon's own handwriting, as you know, and reads: 'This will cure your headache. Dr. Dixon." Alma Willard seemed as one paralysed. Was Kennedy, who had been engaged by her father to defend her fianc=82, about to convict him?
It should be the brother of the groom, her own fianc,, or some chosen friend never the best man; he does not leave his friend the groom until he sees him fairly launched on that hopeful but uncertain sea whose reverses and whose smiles are being constantly tempted. "That man must lead a happy life Who is directed by a wife. Who's freed from matrimonial claims Is sure to suffer for his pains."
"I meant," repeated Kennedy, "what about Lang and Mademoiselle Violette. Were they ah friendly?" "Oh," replied Herndon, seeming to catch the idea. "I see. Of course Pierre abroad and Lang here. I see what you mean. Why, the girl told my man that Mademoiselle Violette used to go motor-boating with Lang, but only when her fianc=82, Pierre, was along.
