SHOE PLAYS PART IN
MANY OLD CUSTOMS
Practice at Weddings Seems
Hard to Explain

The old fashioned notion that shoe
should bring luck at a wedding is a su-
perstition curious to explain. 1t was in
the sense of confirming a sale or ex-
change that the Jews understood the
removal and giving of shoe or sandal
When the kinsman of Boaz consented
to waive his claim upon the parcel of
land which Naomi would sell in favor
of Boaz, he drew off his shoe" for
this was a testimony in Israel" In a
different sense the removal of a shoe
marks the winding up of negotiations
among the laws and ordinances given
in the book of Deuteronomy. When the
Emperor Vladimar proposed marriage
to the daughter of Reginald she re-
fused him with the words IT will not
take OFF my shoe to the son of slave
In Anglo-SaXon marriages the brides
father delivered her shoe to, the BRIDE
groom, who touched her on the head
with 1t in token of his authority.

SWEET LAVENDER GROWS

and this, coupled with fragrance
practically unique, says the Garden,
should render the plant popular with
all classes. A bush of lavender may be
grown in the poorest of garden soils,
and very often stretches of the plant
adjacent to garden walks fill one with
admiration. A reputedly chalk or lime
loving plant, it is by no means fas-
tidious as to soils. We have seen it by

shots, spIintering the wood and glass
about Warmoblds head. Warmbold
ran rapidly into the room, grabbed
a revolver that lay in the safe and

uproar, lodged out the Ellis street en-
trance and hurried for the police.
When Warmbold reappeared with the

his revolver of the two remaining shots
without effect. Then he fell over dead.
