INSTEAD OF THROWING RICE.

From the Boston Transcripts: Since we
must have some pretty and peculiar cere-
mony at the close of the festivities, both
to give 1T eclat and to hide our own emo
lions at the moment why not seek for
something that shall be Il feature of at
Effectiveness and lend Il new charm to the
hour If it takes a little more trouble,
1T Is certainly worth the trouble The
Japanese have a beautiful custom at the
launching of a ship that we might borrow
and modify and Use to advantage in the
place of rice and slippers. Instead of
breaking bottle OF wine over the brow
of the vessel, the appointed parsonage
pulls string, which parts big globe of
flowers and out fly flock of doves, that
drawn in the draught of air, follow the
vessel in all the shower of breaking bios
SONS and huttering petals. Could any
thing be lovelier than this stir of wings
and flowers for a weddings Let us then
lmprison our white doves in big hollow
globe OF howers-a pleasant cage enough
for little whie-and then the moment
the bride passes underneath to enter her
carriage, let the globe be broken open.
the blossoms fall upon her, and the white
dove go soaring skyward, symbolic of the
pure aspirations of that love which has
taken another into its keeping and is to
fill that life with joy and make earth as
nearly rs possible foretaste of heaven.
