Brldegroom Runs the Gauntlet.

"The custom of throwing an old
shoe after the welded couple for
luck is a remarkably widespread one,
but it is not always as pleasant a
feature Of the ceremony as one has
come to imagine" began a young
lawyer who has a penchant for folk
lore. "The other day I ran across a
curious custom which is said to pre-
vail to some extent even yet in vii
lagos of southern France.
ITS this way; after the ceremony
the bride is escorted to her new
home by her girl friends and left
alone; the young husband, also in
the hands of his friends, is next led
to a point a couple of hundred feet
from the dwelling, where a halt is
made. There the girls rejected suit
or, if there be such a one, arms him
self with an old sabot, or wooden
shoe, while the groom, ducking his
head, makes dash for the house.
The disgruntled sutton throws as
hard and true as possible, and the
crowd cheers or derides according to
the success of the shot. A wooden
shoe is a formidable missile in the
hands of an angry swain, and a hus-
band is justified in having some mis-
givings as he sees his defeated rival
practising up in anticipation of the
wedding day. Just think, though.
how great a relief it would be even
in this country to take crack at the
fellow who had done you out of your
best girl without having the police
step in. Over there the custom has
a wider meaning. 1t signifies that
the last i'll feeting is thus thrown
away, and it is the depth of disgrace
for the man who has thrown the
shoe to harbor any further malice
against the young couple. New

AS the British coins that bear Queen
Victoria's portrait will soon cease to
come from the mint, if they have not
already done so, the collectors have
begun to hoard them. They will have
a great deal more value in future years
than they now have as money, and the
boarding of them is simply a matter Of
Investment The new coins will, Of
course, bear the portrait of King Ed

made Immediately, for it will take

"JET" BUTTONS OF GLASS.
Their Manufacture Shifts from Bohemia
to New York.

SnilLA from BOnemtn
to New York.
Jet buttons, so called, are not let at
all. They are merely glass, but they
serve the purpose just as well, look
just as well and are much cheaper.
Until recently nearly all of them
came from Bohemia, but they are now
made in this country, and American
manufacturers are able to compete
with the foreign trade. The process
used is a secret.
The process begins with the long
black rods of glass composition, from
which the buttons were made. These
rods are round, about four feet long
and three-quarters of an inch in thick
ness. Three of them are taken at
time by the buttonmaker, held to-
gether and so placed on the bench
that one end is kept constantly over
a tongue of fire, the gas used being
blown by wind from a bellows worked
by steam power and connected by
pipes with each work bench. With a
little steel rod held in the hand the
buttonmaker picks from the now mol
ten mass of glass a large drop. This
ne skllfully holds in such a manner
that mould made in two sections.
like an iron wise, shuts. catches the
drop in its mouth, presses it into the
shape of the dies and then swallows
it. Upon being swallowed, the button
falls through pipe two feet long
into a pail.
"A feature Of the pressing of the but
tons is that an eyelet is pressed into
the button at the same time. it hav-
ing previously been placed in the
die. The buttons are washed in cold
water, and then the rough edges from
the moulds are cut off by boys with
scissors. From here they are carried
to the edges-girls whose work con-
sists in giving the buttons a finish
with emery wheels.
The buttons at this stage have in
appearance Of an ordinary black Jet
button. Polishing them on a wheel Of
some peculiar foreign wood, on the
surface of which preparation is put.
gives them a CLASSY appearance. The
mourning or crepe effect is attained
by the pattern of the die, and then by
soaking the buttons in certain chemi-
Gals.
With new and approved appliances
100 gross of buttons can be made on
one press in a day. The eyelets used
are made Of brass wire, which is run
from spool on to small revolving
rod. When taken off this it has the
of long coil spring. This
is placed in an enclosed mechanism
and a circular saw of hard steel cuts
it into as many little rings as there
are turns in the wire.
From the manufacturing depart
ment the buttons are taken to the
carders, generally girls, who place
them on cards and fasten them with
needle and thread The cards are
placed in boxes, and the buttons are
ready for market. On a sample card
shown were glass or jet buttons of
nearly every imaginable shape, color
and effect. from the sombre crepe to
one sparkling with silver and gold
