RoBlNe THE BRIDE.

Early Saxon Customs and the Advent
of the Flowing Veil.
In the old days. as now, the bride
generally dressed in white From early
Saxon times down to the eighteenth
century q bride Of the poorer classes
came to the wedding arrayed in a plain
white robe AS public warning that
since she brought nothing to the mar,
rage her husband was not responsible
for her debts.
- Brides soon began to add some little
touch Of color. Blue was for consta n
cy and green for youth. but in some
places these might not be used be-
cause of feuds between families having
these tints in their liveries- Yellow
might not be worn, as 1t stood for
jealousy; golden might not as 1t
meant avarice.
The Anglo Saxon bride went to the
wedding with her hair hanging loose
as a sign Of freedom. but upon reach.
Ing her new house Immediately bound
It up as a sign Of submission. In the
days of Shakespeare the veil began to
take the place Of the flowing tresses.
but this. however, was not original
with the British. for centuries earlier
the Roman and Hebrew brides had
worn yellow wells. while the early
Christians of southern Europe had en-.
veloped both man and wife In one
large cloth.
Whatever was lacking, however. In
gOrgeOusness Of dress was compensat-
ed among all the nations by the pro.
fusion Of towers chosen for their sig.

Griffin and three Russian comrades
of the dead man. The latter told
the same story as printed above.
DR.. Arnold testified that the knife
had sunk at least seven inches into
the mans vitals, severing arteries
and cutting intestines. He declared
that the liver had been badly cut
and that death was due to the re-
sulting flow Of blood. While Wasil-
kow was being ministered to by the
doctors, he begged for knife with
which to cut his own throat and end
ais agony.
Sheriff Herrick believes that the
murderer is in Detroit, and he and
Undersheriff Griffin will go there on
Thursday morning. The Detroit po-
lice are already looking for him. 1t
developed Wednesday afternoon that
the officers were not called for near
ly an hour after the tabbing occur
red. Belief that the murderer
might try to escape on the flyer,
southbcund on the Michigan Cen
trail, Tuesday night, caused the OFF,
GERS to search that train.

A Misrepresentation To
Property Holders.

Opelousas, La, Oct. 80, 1918.
Mr.. Editor:
During the paving campaign
the competitors of the bitulithic,
asphalt and tarvia pavements
have put forth to the council and
property helders of the city of
Opelousas that in case the city
selected q sheet pavement it
would necessitate the city buy
ing an expensive plant to make
repairs in case it became neces-
sary to cut into the pavement to
repair pipes or make water con-
nections, or il defects would
show up in the pavement.
To put it in mild form the COM
petitors of the bitulithic, tarvia
and asphalt have made gross
Misrepresentation to the citizens
of Opelousas.
It has been the custom of paw
ing contractors in the past to
represent facts, but in this case
they have overlooked the courtesy
that one contractor owes
another.
1t has always been tn custom
of sheet paving contractors,
when a paving contract has been
completed, to leave with the city
officials enough mixture stored in
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1913-11-01

barrels and necessary tools to
make all necessary repairs, as
good as any paving expert.
If it be necessary for cities
LAYING pavements to buy a paw
ing plant the following nearby
cities haveover looked an impor-
tant matter: Birmingham Mobile,
Admission and Montgomery, Ala,
Jackson and Meridian, Miss,
Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Jeane-
rette and Alexandria, La, Little
Rock and Hot Springs. Ark.
Beaumont, Dallas, FL Paso,
San Antonio and Waco,
besides numerous other
leading cities Of the South.
This matter of paving is only a
straight business proposition and
f politics would be left out, the
city no doubt would secure a
good pavement, which will last
0pelousas for twenty or more
