German Wedding Superstition.

In some parts of Germany the duties
of the bridesmaids are tinged with
superstition. 1t is one of their duties
on the morning of the marriage day
to carry to the bride myrtle wreath,
for which they had subscribed on the
previous evening. This they place on
her head. and at night remove II. when
II is placed in the brides hand. she
being at the time blindfolded. The
bridesmaids then dance round her,
while she endeavors to place the
wreath on one of their heads. Who
ever is fortunate enough to be thus
decorated will. it is believed. be a wife
before another year has passed In
removing the bridal wreath and veil
the bridesmaids are careful to throw
away every pin, or the bride will be
overtaken by misfortune. while any
unwary bridesmaid who retains one
will lessen her chances of marriage.

to receive the fire that is sure to be
poured upon searchlight. and would
suffer the instant the range was
