An English Custom That Is Rapidly OBJ
tanning In America
The English custom of having white
favors at weddings is rapidly obtaining
here, and it interests one to know exactly
where and when the custom first came
about and what it means. With the
ancient northern nations a knot seems
to have been chosen as the symbol Of
indissoluble love, and they were the
first to use the knot of ribbon as the
decoration for a wedding. The word
~''truelove" does not mean true and love,
as is generally supposed, but it comes
from the Danish verb "Trulofa fidem
do" that is, ~ plight my troth." This
seems to me a much p~rettier idea than
the merely commonplace one of a true
love knot. Nowadays the ribbons are
invariably white, but in times gone by
many bright colors were used and each
color had a special significance. Very
often the bridegroom wore his knot OF
ribbons on his hat for several weeks.
Ribbons in those days played a large
part in the bridal ceremony. 1t was the
duty of the bridesmaids to dress the
brides bed with them, and many discus
sions were had as to which colors would
be in best taste or express the most. A
discussion between them makes them
decide not to have yellow ribbons, be-
cause they are the emblems of jealousy;
no to have brown, because that denotes
fading love; but to use true blue, which
means constancy, with green, which tells
of youth and hope. Somebody else
wanted blue and black, as significant of
love until death, but that was too sug-
gestive of parting rather than wedding;
another would have liked violet, be-
cause that represented religion, but this
was too solemn, and after awhile they
agreed upon it that gold tissue with
green, as meaning youthful jollity,
should form their decorations. A bride
should not wear gold color, because it
means a~varice, nor green, the color Of
the popinjay, because it means unfaith-
fulness and deceit. Pink would be out
of place, for it whispers of desertion; so
would seagreen, which tells of incon-
stancy, and red, though it means justice,
Is not counted in taste.
In those days, when the garter was q
decoration that might be spoken of, the
ribbons used for those of the bride were
of great Importance, q perfect yellow,

tenest chosen. The garter itself had
long loops and ends, and in the north of
England, Immediately after the cere-
mony, the brides gown was raised a
little and the groomsmen struggled 10
get pieces of her garter for good luck.
This was done Immediately before the
altar. Later on the garter became the
property of the bridesmaids, and the
groomsmen divided among themselves
the points OF lace scarf worn by the
bridegroom. So today the happy bride
who for luck wears
Something old and something new,
Something borrowed and something blue,
and combines part of this in her garter
by wearing a blue one lent her by the
bridesmaid, is only following the ex-
ample of brides of hundreds of years
ago, and proving to the world at large
that there was no such wisdom as that
of King Solomon, who announced that
there was nothing new under the

This would be decidedly painful, and it IL,
in fact, to prevent this that the brogah
and it's steel attachments are used. In
theatrical parlance the Oregon boot may
be said to lave made a decided hit" with
the detectives of the United States. Marion
H~edgepeth, the notorious dynamiting
Glendale train robber, wore one of these
ingenious and effective c~ontrivances on his
recent involuntary journey from San Fran
cisco to St. Louis. Hedgepeth didn't like
the boot. but it is not probable that that
will cause its disuse by the police of the
west.
Not so elaborate perhaps. but none the
less effective, was the plan adopted by a
Californian ranchman who had captured a
well known outlaw twenty miles from the
court GUS town. While the captor was
explaining to the prisoner, who was un-
armed but not bound, that they would
have to walk to the village, a squirrel ran
along the ground for a short distance and
then started nimbly up a tree. Quick as a
flash the farmer drew his pistol and the
squirrel dropped to the earth minus its
head. The prisoner looked surprised, but
happened, replaced the revolver in his belt
and reminding his companion that any at
tempt to escape might be followed by a
severe nervous twitching which would
cause him to shoot, they started for the
Jail, the westerner keeping his captive
twenty feet in advance Of him. The fellow

to the bereaved n if she were deprived
of the means to thus pay her respects to
the dead. If we can judge then by the
depth of the Grape worn these last few
months, surely grief was never 80 pro-
found before. Touching the very ground
at the back and hemmed half a yard
deep are the widows wells. But after
the first few weeks, when the tear stain
is faded from the cheeks and the swell
ing from the eyelids, a net veil can
ove the face if it is properly bordered
by a fold of Grape an inch and a half
wide. The tops of the sleeves and the
full vest front and the panels are all
made of Grape, as is right and proper;
but some like to have the whole front
of the skirt covered with Grape; but this
is extreme.
From grave to gay. One makes the
step in looking at the bright young girl
in her pearl gray Henrietta, with its
ruby velvet belt and dainty toque with
its ruby velvet bats ears. The dress Is
slightly draped across the waist and
caught up at the side. In the back it is
princess shape, with deep plaits, and
the whole is ornamented with bands of
American lynx and a narrow silver
braiding. The corsage and sleeves are
highly novel and will prove becoming to
any slight young figure.
The style of dressing the hair is chang
ing rapidly, and it will not be long be-
fore the most of it will be drawn back
from the forehead and turned up over q
small cushion, with a few fine little ten
drills curling down over the face, mostly
on the temples, and drawn up from the
nape of the neck.

IL IL sheer idleness, fooiishness and

BE THANKFUL.

We publish this week the Presi-
dents annual proclamation for
Thanksgiving Day. In q country
like this where there l. no organized
oppression in the way OF govern
ment, one Of the most beautiful of
all customs IL that when the people
tnrn aside from all business and sec
ular pursuits and give thanks to
the Creator, aud giver of all good
gifts.
The mau who says he has nothing
to be thankful Ior IL usually "his
own worst enemy" Very rarely is
that person not prosperous and
happy who does unto others a. he
would be done by, aud supplements
this by doing unto himself as he
would have oth'rs do unto him.
The man who is too tired to work,
neglects his family, f0rgeis 10 psy
his debts, and seeks his associations
elsewhere than at home is the same
fellow who is always complaining
and refuses to give thanks, even
when nature pOurs into his lap the
abundance OF her bounty. This
kind Of men never raised crops, nor
builded cities. II is your thankful
man who moves the world and
makes the nations mighty.
SO then on next Thursday when
we arise from our beds let US sing a
hymn Of praise and rejoice. The
other fellows have carried the day
i'm the election, but before we agreed
to give them q chance to do so we re-
quired q stipulation 10 the contract
that We should be cared for and our
interests protected. Seed time and
harvest will come just the same, and
We have private assurances from q
second cousin Of Baby Ruth's god
mother that Mr.. Cleveland intends
TO appoint as good a man as Uncle
Jerry Rusk at the head Of the wealth
er bureau, so that we shall have |
reasonable rains. Besides this, the |
Kansas rainniakers are marching |
on, and will soon be able To produce
moisture to order, at u stated price
per gallon. We should be thank |
full that the base ball and horse rae |
ing season Is over; that John l.. |
sullivan has been knocked out; that |
there is no war to which We are sub |
ject TO draft, except "a moral war
fare with the crime and folly OF an
evil time" that the cruel campaign
is over and We no longer regard our
neighbors as enemies; that Kansas
is ahead in wheat raising, even IL
she IL well up toward the head In
sheol raising; that Kansas women
are prettIer, Kansas climate health.
Ter, Kansas farms more fertile, than
any place on earth.
The man who cannot or will not
be thankful is either q chump or
rogue. Both Of those specimens are
very rare In Kansas, and the Far IL
ers' Alliance Is not to blame because
all Of them enforced their company
upon IL In politics. Take a day of
and be thankful.
