 But Arminius Wingrove was quite a man of the world, you know. If your admirable parents consent to grace this celebration, said that great man, I will exert any little influence I may possess to raise large type in the Leading Morning Journal. But if your admirable parents decide not to grace this celebration, let only the chosen few be present, because to my mind good taste requires it.

These were wise words of Arminius Wingrove. Pray ponder 'em, you young bachelors of Cam and Isis. And you young ladies of Newnham and Girton, should you ever—which we hope you'll never—go to church in a mechanically propelled vehicle without the consent of your parents, please to remember that in the mature judgment of the arbiter elegantiarum, good taste requires that you shall be married in your traveling dress, and that you shall go in by the side entrance.
