REASON FOR ALL THINGS.
Customs That Now Seem Peculiar Had
Oriuln In Wisdom.


Origin In Wisdom.
II you are patient enough TO ferret
il out you will find that there is rea-
son for every little ldlosyncrasy we
have, for every queer thing we do.
Take, for example, the wearing OF
widows caps. Why do widows cover
their heads with these curious little
arrangements OF mallne, crepe and
lace? II Is custom handed down to
ms from the Romans. who shaved their
heads when they mourned the loss OF
a dear one This idea was all right
for men who did not mind appearing
without single spear Of hair on their
heads. but Of course Il was most I'M
attractive for women No one, not
even a Roman matron, liked 70 be
seen bald.headed, SO the women OF
the Tiber devised a little cap 20 hide
their badness. and thus the custom
has come down 10 US, even though
heads are no longer shaved as a sign
OF mourning
The reason that bells are tolled for
the dead Is that years ago. when toll
ing was FIRST established, the people
thought that the sound OF ths bells
frightened away evil spirits who how
cred near the dead.
Why do men. and women. too, wear
bows ON the left side of their hats?
The reason IA simple enough When
the head covering built upon the order
OF hats OF to-day was first introduced
II was ornamented with a ribbon which
went around the crown and hung down
In two ends on the left side. reaching
below the shoulder. These ends were
sort OF anchor. or safety line. and
we're put there expressly TO be seized
when a sudden gust OF wind threaten.
cd TO blow the hat away. The ribbons
were put on the left side because. as a
general thing. the left hand was more
apt TO be free than the right. Eventu-
ally these ribbons were knotted In a
fetching bow with flowing ends. and
then they were cut OF quito close to
the hat. so that they form a very
small and stiff bow knot
II is always the custom 20 throw old
shoes after bride and this queer
custom came into vogue when parents
were In the habit OF using their slip
pers 20 keep their girls obedient and
good. Now the slipper ie not really
intended for the bride. but for the
4 bridegroom. who Is supposed 10 use
II for the same purpose tho mothei
J and father of oiden times did.
