SYMBOLISM OF THE VEIL.
Survival of Ancient Cuatcn1- ne
Yashmak of the East.

The veil as q portion of FEMININE at
tire is almost symbolic in it's char
acter. The bridal veil is an interesting
survival of the ancient custom OF
holding a canopy over the bride at hef
wedding, a ceremony still observed at
Jewish marriages. Many families hold
the bridal veil as one of the most pree-
ious heirlooms, to be handed down
from generation to generation and 10

young girl worn at her confirmation,

ard simplicity of the maiden about To
enter on the responsibilities of maturi
ty. These charming wells, generally of
fine French net, hand made. but de-
void Of ornamentation save for the
broad hemstitched border, are often
kept by the wearers to be used, when
later on they become wives and moth
ers, as the christening veil for their
baby. Although modern science is
aVarse to the constant use of a veil By
young children, the custom still sur

lGatn indeed TO see it disappear.
In the veil of the novice we find
survival of the wimple of the Norman
ladies'. while certain orders of nuns
such as the Kilburn Sisters, follow
faithfully the fashion Of the early
Plantagenet court in the way in which
they pin the veil to the sides of Their
linen caps IN just such fashion was
the Plantagenet wimple, fastened to

Although the veil has to some e%-

as a symbol of mourning, ii is still
used on the continent in this connec-
ton with great circumstance and cere-
mony. Not only does & widow envei-

ONIONS TO PREVENT DISEASE.
DR.. Mary Walker Advocates Plenty of
Onions to Drive Away Contagious
Disease.

Chicago, Dec. 25.-The use of plenty of
onions will drive, among other things,
contagious disease out of any city, DR..
Mary Walker, who is visiting Chicago
friends, tonight. declared. Here are DR.
Walkers directions for the use of onions
Eat plenty of them, stewed, boiled, fried
or raw. Keep the fumes of onions contin-
ually permeating the atmosphere. Spread
onions in the alleys, ON the lawn and any
other place where it might appear they
would do good.
DIR. Walker said onions were particular
ly effective in smallpox. The use of the
vegetables in two cities at least have
proven her contention to be correct she
said.
Madrid was one of the affected cities. -
she said. "Some even had made the
statement before the onions were used
that the city would be depopulated by
smallpox. The minister plenipotentiary
assured me that the spread of the disease
had been halted by the use of onions.
