About Rice and the Wedding Cake.

The plummy wedding cake and the
throwing of rice, both curiously
enough, spring from the same custom.
The Roman bride carried stalks OF
wheat in her hand, or wore a garland
Of wheat on her head. 1t was a pres
age of plenty and sign that she
would never want. Corn and rice
were flung at her to insure prosperity
and good living, and the scattered
grain was carefully gathered up and
eaten by the guests. Later, little cakes
were made and crumbled to fling al
the bride; then two sets of cakes were
made, one to fling after the bride, the
other for the guests to eat. Gradually
the guest-cakes grew richer until we
come to the single cake of today while
the bride-cakes-the cakes to break
up and throw for good luck-went
back to the rice.
The cakes, IF slept on"-wrapped in
paper on which names have been
written by friend-will bring girl
dreams of her future husband, but the
cake must be first cut by the bride
herself and drawn through the wed
ding ring three or nine times, or else
the charm is imperfect. If the bride
and groom stand one on each side OF
the cake, and clasp hands over II
while they exchange kiss, the luck
is increased. Another point; the
richer the cake the more dream-pro-
ducing ii il likely to be.
A ring used to be placed in the wed
ding bowl, and whoever's glass the
ring was accidentally served in was
the next to be married. But it was
too easy to see or hear the ring in
liquid, so it was put in the cake, and
later, coin or thimble was added
the girl who found the latter being
doomed to die an "old maid"
Sometimes, by way of decoration
the characteristics of the bride anC
groom we're worked out i'm sugar OF
the cake; or the brides favorite flow
er wreathed around; or a miniature
bride and groom with all their insignia
placed.

Orange Blossoms Symbolic Prosper
itY.

Bridesmaids and groomsmen have
been important features for 30 long a
time that the origin of the custom is
decidedly uncertain. In Anglo-SaxOn
times, however, the groomsmen led
the bride to church, while the brides
maids led the groom. Often, too, the
musicians walked before the bride to
church, playing as they went
"The bride has placed into the hall
Red as a rose is she.
Nodding their heads,
Before her go
The merry minstrelsie."
The giving of gloves by the bride
and groom to their attendants i sur
vival of curious old custom. If some
trifiing service had been rendered, OF
90 personal nature that the doer could
not be actually paid for it, pair OF
gloves was the proper acknowledge
ment Sometimes they were lined with
money or gifts.
The lucky wedding flowers are
orange-blossoms, symbolical of "a
prosperous life" They were first
brought from the Holy Land by pill
grims, SO that they also have a re-
ligious significance. Rosemary was
counted lucky in Shakespeare's day
and supposed to insure the lasting
memories of the wedding day.
There's rosemary, that's for re-
membrance."
Laurels were used as decorations te
signify the triumph OF love, and the
more recent use Of palms has probab-
ly this significance in addition to its
religious symbolism.

Something Old and Something Ne1

Most brides long for fair weather
for their wedding day because of the
old saying. 'Blest be the bride the sun
shines on" but the rainy-day bride
may console herself with the fact that
in some countries the bride prays for
rain, taking 1t as an omen that all her
tears are shed before marriage, and
that there will be none after. The
Germans say a new joy comes with
every rain drop.
Every bride should have in her
trousseau, and, if possible, wear at her
wedding,
Something old, something new,
Something borrowed, something
blue.
And gold dollarrin her shoe.
There IL a particular meaning In
each thing mentioned Something
old" something from the old life to
insure dutiful memories; something
new" because of her starting upon a
new life, when to wear old clothes
would condemn her to be poor all her
life; something borrowed" q play
upon the old meaning of borrow, which
il pledge and probably originally
meant the wedding ring itself; some
thing blue" as sign Of cOnstancy,
and the gold dollar" to insure wealth.
The brides veil was originally
fine, transparent piece of cloth held
over the couple during the ceremony
Later. it was held only over the bride
ITO hide her bushes until finally II
became part of her attire.

The universal fashion of wearing
white il not a. old al 1T Il often
thought to be. While it was the Gus
tom i'm the earliest times the present
fashion dates back only to about the
latter part of the seventeenth century
Before that, yellow, and pink and red
especially brilliant crimson-were
the favorite colors for the wedding
dress. Mary Stuart created quite a
sensation when she was married in
white and blue. The blue had a re
ligious significance, and an old Gus
tom demanded that every girl named
Mary should wear blue-the color sa-
cred to Mary Virgin.
The symbolism or color enters large
~ into the calculations in deciding
decorations and the bridesmaid
gowns. Some brides carry out the
idea i'm their favors by giving the jewel
that in the old days stood for color
and shared it's significance.
Violet means dignity, and the anne
thist is highly priced as an amulet to
keep friendship and love.
Blue means constancy, truth and
friendship, and is represented by the
