FOLK LORE OF WEDDINGS.

Propitiating Good FAIRIES Is All I'M
portant, but Few Know Why Fa-
miliar Ceremonies Are Gone
Through.
There is much marrying and giving
in marriage these October days, and
at each and every ceremony bride and
guests are careful to preserve hallowed
traditions. Superstition may be defied
on all occasions but these. A wedding
without blue garters and rice and old
shoes is almost. if not quite, as bad as
Hamlet with the Prince of Denmark
out of the caste. But, although every
body knows what should be done, to
propitiate the good fairies, few have
any idea Of the origin of the hundred
and one customs attending the wedding
day.
The use of the ring is, without doubt,
the most ancient and symbolic Access
sorry of the celebration of marriage. So
prevalent is the feeling regarding its
indispensability that strange substi-
tutes have been used in cases of emer-
gency when the conventional hoop of
gold had been forgotten. Curtain rings
and key rings have done duty, and a
more personal substitute has often been
devised by cutting a ring from the
bridegroom's glove.
Anciently ring marked an office of
great dignity, being worn only by a
king or given by him to his messen-
gers, that their authority might be es-
tablished. AS civilization advanced

amines them, and If he finds any
book" lays it aside. When no more
books can be formed the drawing be-
gins. Each player draws from bis
left-hand neighbor If by drawing he
forms a book he lays it aside. When
no more cards remain in the hands
of the players the books are counted.
Each book correctly formed counts one
point towards the game. Each book
incorrectly formed causes the maker of
it to lose five points.
The player to whose credit most
points are found when accounts are
settled up receives the prize-a book
Of quotations from Dickens works.
If the party is a large one, if it ex-
ceeds eight persons, we will say, the
forty-eight cards will hardly be suffi-
cient. AS the number of books are
not well be increased, increase their
size instead. Let each book contain
eight cards bearing the names of eight
characters prominent in the story.
A Dickensonian Hodge Podgs is yet
another rousing game. For this seat
the company around a table, in the
center of which are placed a number
of small articles, which. if correctly
guessed, will give the names of ia
nous characters in Dickens works.
The objects forming the name should
not be placed together, but intermin-
ged thoroughly. The players, pencil in
hand, inspect the objects on the table
and write down the names of the char
acters they think are represented. A
correct guess counts one point gained.

To entertain a company of varying
ages and tastes there could not be a
better plan than An Evening With
Dickens. Young and old. thoughtful
and frivolous, grave and gay will en-
JOY an evening of puzzles founded upon
these ever-popular works.
For the first game of the series Sc
cure at your stationer's package con-
tanning forty-eight cards. Carte de Wis
lite size is best for the purpose. Each
four cards are supposed to represent
one of Dickens famous works, and
each of the four bears the name Of

stone" and wilkins Micawber." The
book representing Pickwick Papers
could have Sam Weller" and Mrs.
Bardell," Mr.. Snodgrass" and Mr..
Wrinkle" The names of heroes which
give titles to the works should not be
chosen, as this would render guessing
too easy.
Before beginning the game the cards
should be thoroughly shuffled. They
are then divided equally among all
those present. The aim of each player
is to get into his possession as many
as possible of the books In order to
do this he must know, or guess cor

The fashionable garb Of woe is not

mourning and especially that for young

have given place TO soft diaphanous
textiles, whose delicate tuckings drawn

an agreeable change from the former

and woman's position was more chival-
rously regarded, the ring was given her
as a token Of the high dignity be-
slowed upon her in the marriage cere-
money.
The choice of the form of the ring is
for a two-fold reasonable poetic
meanings ascribed to it, and the fact
that its plainness makes it more prac-
tical for constant use Among the
Egyptians circle was the hieroglyph-
&c expression of eternity Its adap-
tation for use as the marriage token
in preference to a pin or earring or
any other kind of ornament is said to
be that it can be worn constantly, and
Is not put on with any particular gar
ment also, that it is always within
sight of the bride, keeping the bride
groom in mind.
Various reasons are given for the
adoption of the so-called ring-finger
as the resting place OF this emblem.
and to this usage also the fancifuI and
unitarian mind have ascribed diverse
origins.
The former Interpretation has it that
the belief was very current before
the days of advanced anatomy, that
small artery ran from this finger to
the heart directly. What could be
more to the purpose of poeticaI logic
than that the wedding ring should
rest there? The choice of the left hand
is by some supposed to symbolic the
submission of the wife to her hus-
band.
The practical mind disposes of these
fancies by suggesting that in this DO
sition- the ring was more protected
nom wear and injury or loss. as the
left hand is not SO much in use as the
right, and this finger is protected ON
either side and is capable of a less de-
gree of independent action than any
other finger.
In many old pictures of the Virgin
her ring was painted on her forefnger
as was the custom for the wearing
of 1t in ancient Greece and Rome. This
finger is the one nearest the mount of
Jupiter, indicating the pride of diq-
nifty.
An old Italian custom placed the
birth month stone of the bride in her
wedding ring, and this idea became
elaborated into the using of twelve
stones, one for each month, that No
good fairy might be unpropitiated
Through this custom the ring became
