ON THE BRIDAL DAY
HERE ARE SOME GERMAN THEO-
RES ABOUT BAD LUCK.
Trying on the Wedding Ring Before
the Ceremony, Tearing the We'd
ding Dress, and Many Other
Things Bring Dire Misfortune.

! Germany seems to be especially
prolific of bridal superstitions. A
German writer has just offered these
comments on the bridal day, by
! which 1t may lie seen that bad luck
rather than good luck has the point
of emphasis.
According to the Germans the
bride must be especially careful on
! her wedding day not to put the left
foot out of bed tirst-for that would
mean perpetual strife.
1t Is most necessary TO see that
thirteen persons do not sit down to
breakfast together that day. Many
miafortunes Will befal that bride
who tries the wedding ring on the
proper finger before the wedding;
this is considered an anticipation of
fate and fate is not to be so caught.
1t is even possible that In such cases
the wedding may fail at the last mo-
ment. In fact some brides think 1t
a bad sign If the bridegroom even
show them the ring before the we'd
ding.
When the bride puts on the we'd
ding dress she must be very careful
not to rip or tear it--not even bit
of lace. nor should she pick up any
thing on it--for this, too. is a bad
sign. IT, however, anything be torn
it should not be sewn--for each
stitch brings tears and misfortunes.
In English society bits of court plas-
ter are used for such emergencies.
The bride should admire her dress
before the wedding day, for If 1t is
completed and she look in the mir
ror on her wedding day each glance
means misfortune.
1t is an awful sign for the bride
to look back over her shoulder, for
this is sign that she looks back TO
the past with heavy heart. and does
not look to the future with joy. II
she should see herself IN the mirror
when thus looking back. all luck is
gone from this wedding.
This refers of course, to an acct
dental look backward. If the bride
Is in her carriage and any one calls
to her. she must on no condition look
backward. Before her wedding no
bride who hopes for good luck
should weep--crylng Is permitted
only after the ceremony. A mother
who embraces her daughter and,
weeping, makes her weep, calls
down misfortune upon her child.
Friends who send kilograms to a
bride should so time them that they
arrive ony after the ceremony, for
misfortune comes with premature
congratulations Hundreds of tele-
grams afterward can do no harm
but a single one too soon is bad
luck.
Under no circumstances should |
the bridal bouquet be forgotten, for |
this is Of evil omen. 1t is bad sign !
too If the bridegroom is late. II !
the bride drops her bouquets It's is
we'll TO aandon the wedding If luck is |
1t is remarkable how far bridal |
goes. 1t extends even |
TO the wedding presents. Some
think 1t Ill luck to receive any pres
ents that cut, and yet many send
fish knives. fruit and dinner knives. |
Few consider how many tears these |
we'll meant presents cause the bride, |
who especially at this time drinks
FRO mthe last portent of evil.

All that is needed is the rights OF

road being built to West Chester in
that time. On This subject he says:
"A number of rights Of way have al
ready been secured in Pennsylvania,
but there are several farmers who
have land through which the trolley
company desires 20 run its line, in case
