Wedding Customs andSuperstitions
RY IDAI1 M'GLoNE GIBSON

ding cake or wear a wedding robe
| which is unpaid for would be an
irretrievable disgrace. According to
the Malayan code, all wedding ex-
penses are paid by the bridegroom,
and the sum which covers them is
sent by him to his father-in-law- ELECT
on the day previous to that on which
he claims and receives his bride.
The old Jewish law most earnestly
enjoins that in choosing a wife the
characteristics of her family shall be
carefully considered, for "a woman
generally resembles her father and
the man his maternal uncles." No
Jewish marriage can take place when
| less than ten persons are present-at
least ten Jews must be assembled
when prayer is offered in any reli-
| giouS service.
| No woman is more noticed and more
courted before marriage than is the
| Spanish bride-and certainly few
wives are more neglected after the
the marriage kisses are yet moist
upon her lips her husband lights his
cigarette and strolls away.
The Turkish woman must, nominal
ly at least, give her consent before
she can be married, and no betrothal
is binding until the bride-elect has
thrice and formally assured a high
priest of her willingness.
The superstitions connected with the
marriage ring in the middle ages were
various. In France, to secure protec-
ton against diabolical arts, a ring of
cane or straw or one made from the
nail of a horseshoe was placed on the
finger of the fiancee.
Sometimes a ring was passed three
times in water while the words lin
nomen PATHS" were repeated. Some
bridegrooms had as many as five rings
blessed, which they placed upon the
fingers of their brides.
The idea that the wedding ring
should be worn on the third finger of
the left hand because "a nerve con-
meets this finger with the heart" is of
Roman origin. Oddly enough, 1t is not
continued on the continent as in Eng
! land, for in France, Belgium and Ger
many and most other European ma
| tions the engagement ring finger" is
| the third finger of the left hand, while
the wedding ring" finger is the third
+! of the right hand.

VEAL RECIPES

Veal Jelly-Take a veal shank COW
err with cold water. let It come to a
boil and skim carefully. Add one
medium sized onion, a bay leaf.
small piece Of red pepper salt and
six whole cloves. Boil slowly till the
meat falls of bones. Take out the
meat, strain the liquid, and let it
cool while the meat is picked into
small pieces. Remove the grease from
the liquid. Add to the meat and put
into bowls to cool. Serve on lettuce
leaves with mayonnaise dressing.
Cut some lean cold veal into pieces
about one inch square. Pour over
them sufficient scalding vinegar to
cover, adding TO each pint of the
same one dozen whole cloves, half
stick of cinnamon, a teaspoonful of
salt and small red pepper or
dozen pepper corns. Allow the veal
20 stand in this pickle for at least
twenty flour hours. 1t is then ready
ior use and is nice served for cold
luncheon or supper.

Birth. marriage and death are the
three great events of life. Com
pared with them, all others are in
significant. OF the three. marriage
is perhaps the most important-cer-
tainly the only one that is voluntary.
Birth is forced upon us, we are born
to die, but we achieve marriage.
Three wishes hath each maid know;
, To handsome grow and have a beau,
And to the marriage altar go.
Human hearts remain unchanged. F"
and life methods differ but little the
campaign strangely alike wherever,
whoever, whatever we are-and from
the North Pole to the South wooings
and weddings are much the same.
The Indian of America proposes
marriage by throwing the game he
has killed at the feet of maiden
as a symbol that he can and will
support her, very much as the high
born Pole throws the wild boar which
he has speared at his sweetheart
feet Betrothed Britons used to
drink brandy and eat white bread to-
gether; the Japanese bride and groom
drink sake; the Romans had their
hymeneal meal, and the Germans
their hymeneal ale.
The German peasantry never wed
when the moon is full or diminishing.
The nuptial luck will decrease If the
marriage moon is past it's full; IL at
its full the couples luck will at best
be stationary; while the increasing
marriage moon brings increase of
health, wealth and happiness.
No German bride wears pearls, not
even a royal bride. as it is believed
that for every pearl she wears her
husband will cause her to shed a food
of tears.
The Russian bride must PROSTATE
herself at her bridegroom's feet and
pledge that she will submit herself
and her will to him in all things.
Whatever else a Japanese bride
groom fails to do, he must not neg
lect to send his bride a girdle; it
is the wedding ring of the Japanese.
The girdle also figured prominently
In the marriage ceremonies of the
old Romans.
The Malays pay for a marriage
before they celebrate it. They are

MAKE 1T YOUR HABIT TO
FIND THE GOOD In PEOPLE

A contributor to the American
Magazine says:
IF there isn't some good in every
one. what are they here for?
Anybody can point out anybody
else's bad qualities. If you want to
distinguish yourself go around point
ing out good qualities.
Pick out the man whom everyone
dislikes. Select the one you feel could
! best be spared from your office, from
your circle of acquaintance. from the
community in which you live. Ask
yourself If there isn't something good
about him,
Put him on a mental dissecting
table. Cut him to pieces and see
what's in him. Remember. you are
! looking for the good. Throw away
the bad in him and forget it, Make
list of his good qualities. 1t will
surprise you how many you can find.
/ 1.-THE next time you hear him criti-
cized tell people the things you know
about him-the good things. You'll at

I it does you more good thanTA does
1 him.
How would you feel if you knew
/ that people whenever they talked
about you talked only about what was
bad in you. You know it's there,
plenty of it, but you'd rather not have
it talked about It's much nicer to
have only your good points discussed.
Give the other fellow the kind of a
deal you like yourself. If you can say
nothing good about him, say nothing.
There are mighty few people in the
world we can't say something good
about If we try. The trouble is we
don't try.
And yet the more good you find in
other people the more good other
! people Will find in you.
