Expenses.  The best man is the guest of the
groom, and in matters of expense this should
be borne in mind.

Reporters.  If such is the wish of the family
of the bride, the best man attends to the reporters,
and furnishes them with the names
of groom, bride, relatives, friends, description
of gowns, and other details deemed
suitable for publication.

  Wedding breakfast. The best man escorts
       the maid of honor, and they are usually
       seated at the bridal table.

  Wedding reception.  The best man stands
       with the married couple, and is introduced
       to the guests.

  Wedding trip.  He should arrange beforehand
       all details of the trip-as to tickets, parlor-car,
       flowers, baggage, etc.  He alone knows the
       point of destination, and is in honor bound
       not to betray it, save in case of emergencies. 
       He should see that the married couple
       leave the house without any trouble, and if
       the station is near, he should go in a separate
       carriage (provided by the groom) to personally
       attend to all details.  He is the last
       one to see the married couple, and should return
       to the house to give their last message
       to the parents.

Best wishes to bride.  One should give best wishes
       to the bride and congratulations to the
       groom.

Bicycling.  A man bicycling with a woman should
       extend to her all the courtesies practised
       when riding or driving with her, such as
       allowing her to set the pace, taking the lead
       on unfamiliar roads and in dangerous
       places, riding on the side nearest obstacles,
       etc.

  Men—­dress.  A man should wear the regulation
       suit coat, waistcoat, and knickerbockers
       of gray or brown tweed, avoiding all
       eccentricities of personal taste.

Birth (Announcement).  If wishing to send congratulations
       after a birth, cards should be left in
       person or sent by a messenger.  Cut flowers
       may be sent with the card.
