RIBBONS AT CHURCH WEDDINGS. One way of
distinguishing the pews reserved for the family,
relatives, and dearest friends of both families
is the placing of white ribbons at the dividing
pews. Before the arrival of the bride,
the ushers, in pairs, at the same time, untie
these ribbons, and stretch them along the
outside of these pews, and thus enclose the
guests and bar further intrusion.
If these ribbons are used, it is a good
plan to enclose in the wedding invitation a
card giving number of pew.
The advantage of not using ribbons is the
avoidance of any possible discrimination.
RICE AT WEDDINGS. The throwing of rice is to be
discouraged; but if it is to be done, the maid
of honor should prepare packages of rice
and hand them to the guests, who throw it
after the bridal couple as they leave the house
for their wedding trip.
RIDING.
MEN. When riding with a woman, a man should
always assist her both to mount and to
alight, even if a groom is present.
It is customary for the woman to set the
pace, and for the man, who always rides on
her right, to accommodate himself to her--
trotting, galloping, or walking his horse as
she may do.
He should always be ready to open all
gates for her, and to do all things that will
make the riding pleasant for her. If at a
fox-hunt, this would mean that he must be
ready to sacrifice much of his personal pleasure
that she may enjoy herself.
DRESS. There is a perfectly well-accepted
dress for men who ride in the park, though
it is open to elderly men to wear clothes less
pronounced.
The correct dress is full riding-breeches,
close-fitting at the knee, leggings, a high-buttoned
waistcoat, and a coat with the conventional
short cutaway tails. The hat is an
alpine or a derby, and the tie the regulation
stock. These, with riding-gloves and a
riding-crop, constitute the regular riding-dress
for a young man.
A man should always consult his tailor,
that the dress in all its details may be strictly
up to date.
WOMEN--DRESS. There is a well-prescribed
riding-dress for women as for men. The
habit of dark material, with skirt falling just
over the feet when in the saddle, and the
close-fitting waist, with long or short tails,
together with the white collar and black or
white tie, constitute the regulation dress.
The derby hat is smaller than formerly.
Gloves of a dark color and a crop with a
bone handle are always in place. Any
jewelry, save that which is absolutely necessary,
should be shunned.
