TAKE THREE DAYS TO WE'D
Armenian Couple Must Be Patient in
the Matter of Tying the Mar
riaae Knot

In Armenia everybody has a good
time at wedding except the bride
groom. First of, all, the friends as
semble, and an entertainment, with
dancing, takes place. The bridegroom
is expected to arrive when the enter
tainment is at its height and 1T IS
considered good form for him to ap-
pear with his face covered with pow
der to simulate pallor induced by the
solemnity of the occasion. Friends OF
the bridegroom then shave him pub
licly and fall upon him and strip him
of all his clothes, after which he IS
supplied with new set of garments
and completely dressed again. While
they are performing the Offices Of valet
to the groom the young men present
are supposed to hold lighted candles
in their right hands.
The day after this opening marriage
feast the bride rides to church, ana
the bridegroom walks. The priest VINO
receives them in the porch reads a
short sermon on their duties IL lhe

romantic struggle between Richard

Color Sense

Though living under skies as radiant those
of Spain or Greece, we a Nation strongly
responsive TO the appeal of color. Whether it be
due to the rigorous mental cast Of pioneer set
tiers to drab Puritan and gray Quaker, in more
deeply rooted circumstances, the fact remains that
the typical American looks askance upon any de-
gree of chromatc license. Sober of temper and hab
it, we have for more than century been closing
eyes to color in many of its most appropriate
ifesations.
There two reasons why we have seen lit to
place virtual taboo upon frank virile color effects.
One is certain provnciasm incidental to isolation
from the main currents Of European culture. The
other is the acute sensitveness of the native
vous organism which shriuks from vigorous color
stimuli and demands only soothing combinations.
Such conditions have naturally tended impair the
inborp love of color that, in due course, vivid
tns have been banished garish and offensive and
minor tones alone considered the mark of good
taste.
There remains, however, something to say
the other side of the for within the past
alton matters have undergone decided change
The worthy citizen who once inhabited a brown
stone mansion filled with old masters painted with
brown sauce is no longer deemed the of esthet
ic culture Glance along the streets of more
progressive cities and you will note that many of
those dipgy facades have been refaced and heavy
hangings discarded for illet or brightly figured
chintz The increased of bricks, limestone and
colored Gotta has enhanced the atractiveness
of the modern building while ominous portraits and
lowering landscapes have given way to prints
vases rejecting the true spirit of the out-of-doors.
