But a rector in Sydney, Australia, has decided to put an end to such feminine nonsense. His plan is that any tardy bride in his church will find that the young man who should be waiting for her impatiently, the restless guests, and the rector himself have retired from the church, not to return until the bride herself is waiting. The rector expects a few tears but he thinks that part won't be much of a problem, as few brides will be late once the girls find out that if they don't arrive at their own weddings on the dot they'll find the church empty. Probably the rector has more on his mind than the determination to see that his weddings begin when they are advertised to He probably thinks that if a bride is taught at the altar that she can't keep her husband waiting, her marriage will have a better chance of running smoothly than if she thought she could be late to her own wedding, and for any or all future meetings with her husband. WOMEN HAV1C MEN WELL TRAINED And maybe lie has something there.

The whole secret of successful marriage is starting out right in the first place, setting the right patterns. There is only one drawback. Unless the bridegrooms of Australia have more backbone than America's marrying men, the rector will find that though he may have the audience with him when he suggests a walk-out strike the groom will hang back and sheepishly await his bride. That's because our women don't wait until they are at the altar to start training their men. They have them firmly well-trained before they ever get them to the point of getting up before a rowd of people and saying "1 do." Well enough, at any rale, so that they know better than to do anything as drastic as walking out on a girl just because thry have been kept waiting.
