An Ancient Custom No Longer Toieraks6

in the Best Society.
Fashions freaks are not always so
unutterably silly as her stern oppo-
nents would have one believe. For in-
stance, when she decreed that rico
throwing at weddings was to come TO
an end, she sensibly signed the death
warrant of barbarous and dangerous
custom. The foolish practice obtains
now only among those who always Will
cling to q custom because 1t is customs
In really fashionable sets here or
abroad it has been agreed that too
much serious damage has been done to
bride and groom by the hard iltels
grains not to make some substitute
necessary.
In addition, however, to marriage
bells and festive garments, some outlet
seemed needful for the joyful feelings
the occasion is supposed to arouse. And

IT is easily conceivable what pretty
and effective scene could be made of
this custom. especially as our weddings
run nowadays to s'color. = A pink
wedding, with pink cornucopias and
pink confetti stamped in gold would in

painful to get these stinging blows on
cheek or neck, and, like the rice, they
are passing out of use.

likely to become really popular as the
rice for the reason of the mess 1t makes
when scattered over house and grounds.

feet deep, q little stream that hurries
at lightning speed down the canyon be-
