Every one left the nachi and edged

lies in the absence of !sglnAidAs the
presence of a best maii and subatitu

best man foliows the- groom from the

bride shall walk up the aisle ungloyed,

whose fanilies don't use aprayer book.
Aii inovation in weddings which has,

Vanderbilt is a Poor Driver.
At the Gentleman's driving pa9k,
where Williem II. VanIduerbilt and
other owners of fast horses speed their
teams, I came across a man who found
delight in somethuig that had never
struck me. Vanderbilt was urging his
best pair round the course, for the first r
time since lie was overturn -d in the
sport by a collision. The galt was a
slashing one, and I asked a spectator,
who had timed a mile of it, how swift,
It was.
"Two-thirty-six ' was the answer-.
"Bit they can (1o much helter than
that," I said.
" Yes; aind that's what mauinte~ grin
