ORANGE Blossoms and Brides.

Various theories have been given
regarding the use of orange blossoms
as bridal ornaments. The Gus
tom is supposed to have been brought
to Europe by the Crusaders from the
East, the Saracen brides being accus-
toned to wear orange wreaths at
their marriage. To this objection was
raised that although the orange tree
was brought to England as early as
1890, it was long before there was
any real cultivation of it even in
greenhouses. A second theory Is that
orange blossoms came to be worn by
briEes on their marriage because they
were not only scented but also were
rare and costly, and 80 within the
reach of only the noble and rich, that
Indicating the bride had to be Of high
rank. A third Is that orange bridal
wreaths had their origin I'm Spain.
where oranges have been cultivated
for centuries. Thence the fashion
passed to France. and by means CT
French millinery was spread TO other
lands.
