PARADED IN WEDDING FlNERY
Peculiar Custom Of Eiohteenth-cen.
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 finery 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
Their the Puritan aim of modesty in
appearance. Those who could afford
II had four distinct sets of finery, one
for each Sunday. that there might
be no monotony for those who formed
the audience. In many communities
a pew was set apart in which the bri-
dial pair was shown, so that the con-
gregation 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 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."

Sheep shearino In Australia.

Shearers in Australia are paid by

young wethers, which are hard. to old

Nothing Better for Beauty Than .
Steam Bath Every Week or So.

glow and color only perfect cleanli-
ness can lend, and making one feel
young and fresh as never before.
In some ways the bath has been the
salvation of Turkey and Greece. Their
women lead sedentary lives, spending
their time dressing, eating, and sleep
ing. This condition is changing as the
countries are waking UP to modern
culture, but the general fact is still
true. Lives spent like this mean that
great layers of flesh accumulate, that
the skin becomes clogged, the system
sluggish, the brain and liver torpid
the whole being desires only more Of
the useless laZiness. But the Turkish
woman attends the bath every week,
where she is steamed, scrubbed, mas
saged, lathered, and rinsed with hot
and cold water, till her skin is free
from every impurity and her whole
system is rejuvenated and refreshed.
If you cannot take regular Turkish
baths. get a cabinet and take steam
baths at home.
Tincture of benZOin-not a patent
ed article at all-is good astring-
ent. Wash the face with hot water
and liquid green soap, rinse with
hot, then cold water and put a few
drops of the tincture in this last rinse.
1t simply closes the pores.
