Quaint Garter Customs.
There are several quaint customs
In connection with garters. A descrip-
tlon of two, however, must suffice. The
one is that prevalent in several mid
European countries, of taking off the
brides garter by the best man at the
breakfast, and cutting it up. and dis
tributlng the pieces among the grooms-
men and guests.
The second is, or rather was, the
practice In the German imperial
family of giving the bride thirteen
pairs. one pair of which was kept as
likely to bring her good luck. This
pair Is always made of pale blue silk
(the maidens cOlOr), and has diamond
clasps. Another pair was sent to the
museum of Berlin-where there are
something like ninety most interest
ing specmens-and the remaining
pairs were given as keepsakes to the
young mobiles and others who attended
the bridegroom at the altar.
Judging from the modern specimens,
garters are even nowadays scarcely
less dainty, elaborate, or costly than
of yore, though perhaps often worn
more for ornament and sentiment than
for use.-kapsas City Star.
