Girls True to First Love.
There are seven virgins %garlands"
still in existence in Minsterley church,
Salop, the first of them bearing the
date 1854 and the last 1851.
They consist of silk ribbons and
paper, ball shaped, and are covered
with rosettes, the inside center of the
cane or wire frame supporting a pair
Of paper gloves. They represent a ro-
mantle custom Of very ancient origin
and are sacred to the memory of girls
who while betrothed in their youth
lost their intended husbands by death,
yet remained true to their FIRST loves.
Each maiden designed her own gar
land, and at her death this simple en-
blem was borne before her by the vii.
lage lasses, the white gloves being aft
erward added. After the %obsequies
these garlands were suspended in the
village church on a rod bearing at its
extremity a heart in the shape of an
e%scutcheon, upon which the initials and
date were inscribed. These We're origi-
nally fixed above the maiden's pew.
Some of the earliest and forgotten
garlands were composed of real flow
ers, but later the covered hoops de-
scribed were substituted.
