To Promote MarrIase..

1t is a superstition in some parts of
England that after a young couple
have departed for their honeymoon hot
water should be poured on the thresh-
old In order that other marriages may
follow. With this end in view the
brides girl friends will sometimes
drench the doorstep with boiling wa
ter from kettles heated for the purpose
Of keeping the threshold warm, says
Home Notes.
In Iceland another plan Is in vogue.
There the bride. on reaching her hus-
bands house, has to give a dinner
cooked with her own hands to show
how well she has been instructed in
the parental home. If she succeed in
pleasing the guests. her skill does not
only rebound to her own honor, but
also to that of her whole family, and
her sisters, having shared in her edu-
cationai advantages, are considered
likely to make good wives.
