Q. How does a house wedding- differ from a. church wedding? j

A. The bride and bridegroom do not take a single step together. He meets her at the point where the service is.to be read. and after the ceremony there is no recessional. The clergyman withdraws, an ush- er removes the prayer bench. and the bride and bridegroom merely turn where they stand and receive the congratulations of their guests.

Q. Is it necessary for 1 hostess to provide new cards for her guests at a bridge party?

A. Usually, yes. She may use old cards only if they are spotless and shiny.

Q. What is the fee a woman is usually supposed to give the maid who helps her in a public dressing room?

A. Usually twenty-five cents.

make the world or others Poorer. nothing at the expense of other men, but just those few things which in their coming do not stop with me. but touch me rather, as they pass and gather strength. A few friends who understand me. and yet remain my friends. A work to do which has real value without which the world would feel poorer. A return for such work small enough not to tax unduly anyone who pays. A mind ,unafraid to travel. even though the trail be not blazed. An understanding heart. A sight of the eternal hills and unresting sea. and of something beautiful the hand of man has made.

A sense of humour and the power to laugh.

A little leisure with nothing to do

A few moments of quiet, silent meditation. The sense of the pre- sence of God. And the patience to wait for the coming of these things, with the wisdom to know them when they come. These things I wish you all in the coming year, and many happy days in the garden.
