BRIDAL CUSTOMS

The japanese bride follows the custom
which prevails in the Western world. that
of wearing white at5the marriage cere
mony, although the significance ATTACKED
to the color is quite different. White is
the mourning color in Japan, and the
bride, upon leaving her parents home.
considers herself dead in a certain sense,
TO that home, as she never expects to
return.
The Japanese first dons a gown of
white silk, the texture of which dependso
on the station of the family, The entire
gown is exquisitely hand embroidered.
The sleeves Of the costume, one Of the
chief featu es of the gown, are about
three feet in length anC hang in long
graceful lines from the shoulder. An
other distinct feature is the sash. and in
Importance corresponds to the American
brides train. The sash when u%ndraped
measures about eleven feet in length.
After the exchange of the loving cup,
which is the most Important part of the
wedding ceremony, the bride changes
her costume for a red robe. This color
is supposed to have a purifying effect
and c~leanses the new home of evil spirits
The pretty dark haired Hebrew bride
always wears a yellow veil. If the bride
has come from among the peasant class
es upon her wedding day she binds her
hair high on her head for the first time,
Simplifying her submission 70 her nus
bands will upon entering his home.
Heretofore her hair has always hung
loose as a symbol of her freedom.
The customs of the Roman brides are
very similar to that of the Hebrew
maidens. The yellow veil is also worn,
and the hair bound high upon the head
with the same significance
With the European bride flowers play
an important role, much sentiment is
hidden in the brides bouquet, The
