It is decidedly out of date to throw
your wedding bouquet at your girl
friends. The old superstition that the
girl who catches the BRIDES flowers is
to be the next bride has lost its mean
ing. and is becoming rather threadbare
Girls don y believe in it as they did
many cases where girls have caught the
bouquet more than once, and are yet
waiting for the prince. But never
mind. There is much better use fol
it, as charming bride Of this week
discovered. Her bridal flowers were
sent to a place where love and cheer
were needed. They found their way
GRANGE Of the flowers and the senti
ment Of the gift, brought rays of gold
en- sunshine to the suffering friend
| The gift of the bride was more thar
thoughtful, for it showed the unselfsh
spirit Of rememb ering one less for
tunate during her hour Of greatest hap
piness.
