HINTS TO BRIDEGROOMS.
While you are waiting at the altar for the bride don't clutch the air nervously with; your hands. Neither should you allow your jaw to drop or your eyes to protrude. Tlie congregation can gauge your feeling without these outward signs of inward nervousness. Do riot imagine, that* every eye is fastened upon you. No one is the least interested in you. Unless you make yourself conspicuous by some awkwardness, the congregation will scarcely be aware of your presence. Don't try to smile cheerfully as you go down th© aisle. You will only succeed m fixing a ghastly grin on your face. At the same time it is not necessary to glue your eyes upon the doorway, and thus show everyone your one desire to escape. Don't rush madly out of church out of time with 'The Wedding March' and eight inches ahead of the bride. , When reoeiving congratulations from friends, don't try to make original remarks to them all. ; . Don't try to conceal the .fact that you are lately married -when on your wedding journey. All , such efforts are futile, and only make you ridiculous. Accept the consequences of your apt in a manly way. When you return home, don't tell all the unmarried men to go and do likewise ; or at least wait six months before giving that advice.
