The Iceland Bride

In Iceland, where various interesting
and fantastic superstitions abound,
there is an ancient custom that every
bride must invite all her friends to a
dinner In her home, and every article
Of food must be prepared by the bride
herself If she succeeds in pleasing
her critical guests, she achieves not
only praise for her own skill. but she
helps along her own younger sisters,
who are then assumed to be equally
well instructed in the intricacies of the
culinary art and consequently have
their chances Of marriage more than
doubled.
