The Ware Memorial Consists Of al
Unique Collection that Is the Only
One Of It's Kind in the World, and Is
the Wonderful Work of Bohemian
Glassmaker.

The only collection Of glass flowers
in the world is in a memorial to DR..
Charles Eliot Ware and has been pre-
sented to Harvard college by Mrs.
Ware and her daughter. There is only
one man in the world who can make
these exquisite reproductions, and, as
he has never had an apprentice, his Sc
cret will die with him.
Rudolph Blaschka is a. Bohemian and
he has carried the wonderful skill in
glass-making, for which his country
men are famous, to an incredible de-
gree. His father was noted worker
In gold, silver and glass, and his son
aided him in the marvellous models of
marine invertebrates which he made in
glass. He also formed glass flowers for
the Natural History museum of Liege,
Belgium, but when they were Destroyer
by fire he returned to making plants
and animals for the Dresden Natural
History museum.
Father and son were kept busy sup.
plying the museums of the world, and
the Harvard museum of comparative
zoology has a number of rare specimens
of marine life. It was these examples
Of the Blaschka work that caused Pro

to take up flower modelling. There was

RICE OUT OF FAVOR

For many a year the barbarous and
dangerous custom of throwing rice after
the bride and bridegroom as they left
the house to take the carriage, seemed

said In regard to throwing rice is true
the meaning Of the custom has only
been generally known for few years.
With rice throwing out of fashion
something must be substituted, and
various things have been tried, all more
or less successful, but still not yet come
into common use.
The throwing Of confetti is almost
universal now, when rice throwing is
prohibited, and while it is pretty Gus

rather than to wedding, SO one bride

Another wedding distinguished itself

the guests large bowls full of rose

before and stripped from the roses.
These were sent in pink and cream

groom as they came out Of the house
and walked toward the carriage. The
effect was very pretty.

That scourge of America, consump-

that in Japan corsets are worn only by
a very few so-called progressive women
who ape western customs. The vast
majority breathe deeply and fully in a
way impossible with the corset, An
other reason given is that in Japan
there Is no air starvation Little
window glass is used. The panes Of
