symbol Of Marriage.

symbol Of Marriage.
Long before orange blossoms became
associated with weddings the fragrant
Jasmine was commonly used for the
decoration Of bride. A very pretty leg
end OF ancient Tuscany tells how this
little blossom became the symbol OF
love. A traveller. returning from the
warm countries of Asia, brought home
with him rare tropical plaut-the jas
mine-which was unknown In Tuscany.
He gave a small slip to certain duke.
who set it among his most treasured
plants, where il rooted and thrived un-
der the care Of the gardener and soon
grew TO be q good sized plant. The
duke was SO proud Of his rare possession
that he gave strict orders to his garden
or 10 guard the plant carefully and ON
no account to give even slip-not u
hower-to any person.
The gardener was good young man.
and he would have been faithful to his
charge had be not happened to fall In
love with the sweetest peasant maid IN
all Tuscany. The maid was poor and
her lover was not much richer, so they
were unable to marry. On the birthday
Of the peasant the gardener, having
nothing else TO give the maid OF his
choice. presented her with bouquet OF
flowers. and among the other clippings
| in the bunch there was one from the
duke cherished jasmine bush. Nothing
could be too good for the gardener
maiden. so in this one instance he re-
Taxed his care Of the shrub. The girl,
admiring tho fresh buds Of tho sprig.
wished TO preserve it. and 50 placed II
in the ground, where 10 rooted and re-
NAMED fresh and green all winter. thus
symbolizing her love for the gardener,
and in the following spring it grew and
| was covered with blossoms. The little
bush fourished and the flowers multi
piled So under the maiden's care that
She was able TO sell many Of the sprigs
for a considerable sum. thus spreading
the unknown flower abroad; and in d
short time. with spray Of the precious
love token ON her breast she was wed
ded TO the happy gardener.
To this day the Tuscan girls preserve
the remembrance Of the gardener S gift

Of sweet jasmine on their wedding day
and they have a proverb which says
