PARADED IN WEDDING FINERY
Peculiar Custom OF Eiohteenth-ce Gen.
fury New England Would Seem to
Put Premium on Vanity.

An unusual custom In vogue In New
England in the Eighteenth century
which caused newly married couples
to appear at church on the four Sun
days following their union dressed in
all the bridal tnery they could get
together, is recorded by Edward j.
Morris In his book, The Psychology
Of Dress"
This, of course, stimulated rival
ry between families, not likely to fur
ther the Puritan aim Of modesty in
appearance. Those who could afford
1t had four distinct sets of tinery. one
for each Sunday. that there might
be no monotOny for those who formed
the audience. In many communities
q pew was set apart in which the bril-
dial pair was shown, SO that the con-
gregatlOn knew just where to look
for the objects of interest.
'These selected seats were often In
the gallery, sometimes the front pews
of the center aisle, and at times In
other prominent places. The couple
generally arrived a bit late, that the
observers might all be seated before
their arrival; then they walked slow
ly arm in arm to the assigned seats,
while the entire congregation gave
their hushed and respectful attention.
At an appointed time, generally just
before the sermon, the couple arose
and turned slowly around two or three
times, that every angle of their APP
pearance might be viewed; they then
sat down"

FINEST OF EARTH'S CHURCHES
Men Of Genius Through Many Gen.
turtles Aided in the Erection
Of ST. Peters at Rome.

The history of st. Peters at Rome,
one Of the worlds most interesting
ediflces, goes back over a thousand
years. for ii was on this spot, the site
OF NerO'S circus, within walls ornate
with gold and glistening with mosaic
and marble, that Charlemagne received
the crown of imperial Rome from Pope
Leo Ill, and here was slowly erected
throughout Subsequent centuries this
building, called the central cathedral
Of ChristendOm. ALI that man could
do to make st. Peters great and beau
tiful has been lavished upon that
splendid church. Nine de Stael said
Of 1t, "C'est lie seul travail de Fart
sur notre terre actuelle Qui ait lie
genre de grandeur qui characterize
les oeuvres inmediates de la crea-
ton" Qt Is the sole work of art on
our earth which has the sort Of noble
ness that characterizes the works of
nature.) Marion Crawford puts ones
first impression of st. Peters In a
nutshell when he says, ''The first sight
Of st. Peters affects one as though
In every day streets, walking among
ones fellows. one should meet with
q man forty feet high"
While the interior decorations have
been criticized as being too profuse

to them as too much gingerbread

Foes of Racing Are Preparing
For War Before Legislature

Opponents of the racetracks are pre-
pairing. for a drive the coming session
OF the Legislature TO put the ponies
out OF commission
in the House of Delegates the fight
will be led by William Purnell Hall
of Baltimore, who is now redrafting
the bill he offered in 1914 and which
is intended to abolish the tracks by
cutting out betting. In addition he
will father companion measure
which would. if enacted into law, pro-
hibit the publication of race news COM
ing from other tracks carrying the
entries, betting odds, results. etc.
Anticipating such an onslaught. the
track owners are figuring on a coun-
ter-move by offering a compromise
bill which would cut down the racing
period one-half and increasing the tax
on each. They hope this move will
serve to win over enough votes to
prevent the passage of the Hall bills,
but the advocates of the latter de-
clare they will te satisfied with moth
ing but the elimination of all tracks.
They argue that a curtailment of
the racing period as proposed will
not help the situation. but simply
protect the two richest track corpora

OVERLOOK BEAUTY OF FERNS
Choice Varieties Seem Not to Be as Greatly Appreciated as They
 Should Be.

One of the things which the florists of the United States have neglected to a great extent Is the growing of ferns. To be sure We see many beautiful specimens In the windows of city es- establishments, but very few of the more choice varieties which are really just as easy to grow, provided little care is taken with them. How many know, for instance, that there are scores of varieties of the "maidenhair The baby maidenhair Is one of the dainu- est of these, its leaves being but little larger than the head of an ordinary pin. Another variety which Is espe- cially beautiful is the New Zealand maidenhair. The stem of this fern flattens out as 1t hears the leaves, and the leaves themselves are superim- posed one on another, which gives the effect of several shades of green. Of course there are also the gigantic tree ferns of the tropics, which have fronds from five to fifteen feet in length, the trunks sometimes being four or five feet in diameter, but these would hard ly do for a lady's bouquet.
