we're unfamiliar to unwilling hostesses
so with the rice throwing. 4
few years ago a handful or so of rice
was thrown at the bride and groom as
they left the brides house. No one
thought o: binding and sitting the
dazed pair with quarts of rice at the
station and of tying the trunks with
white ribbons and flowers. These
p!easantries, invented by man with no
serse of humor, have reached the last
stage of decadence which always pre-.
codes dying custom.
