The custom Of throwing rice after the
nswly married couple is = very old one and
the meaning l. not far to seek As rice Is
the most prolific Of grains. 1t has slways
and everywhere been regarded emblematie
Of Gods command to Adam and Eve. and al
so to Noah after the flood, to increase and
multiply and replenish the earth" In India,
among the Brahmins, rice throwing is a part
Of the marriage ceremony The Jews throw
wheat instead of rice. and the Russians oats
or barley upon the heads Of the bridal couple.
sayinK Increase and multiply"
I have looked up a number of authorities
and find nothing In regard to the giving of
teseup to an engaged girl. SO am unable to
help you this. An old English custom
to carry the bridal cup before the bride on
returning from the church. to prevent evil.
which may possibly hsve some bearing on
this.
/ The linens for the trousseau. or presents
for the bride, are always marked with the in
itials of the brides maiden name; never with
the initials of her married name.
1t Is not advisable for presents of consid-
cradle value to be given received between
the engaged couple during the engagement,
with the exception Of the engagement ring.
1t Is perfectly proper and correct to accept |
flowers, books, candy. but nothing in the |
way Of wearing apparel, except perhaps |
gloves. 1t Is the woman's prerogative to |
oner her hand upon receiving introduc- |
tion-not the mans. In the case of hostess.
where she wishes to show cord Atty and well
come, it is well for her TO offer her hand.
In formal society none but hostesses offer their
hand upon receiving an introduction. but on
informal occasions 1t i quite correct to do |,

liking. but upon. mentioning his name to
several of my acnuaintances they told me
not to have anything 70 do with him his
character questionable After several
years Of sbsence he returned to this state
and called me. and / introduced him to
my parents who apparently liked him as
much as !. Is the friendship of one person
worth the risk of losing the friendship of
many7 Thanking you in advance for your
kindness.
1t would seem to me that If you had
known Of this young man for several years
you should be able to determine for your
self rs to his character l am inclined to
think you would not lose rs many friends
As you seem to think by retaining his friend
ship l am taking it for granted, of course.
thAt you would not care Tor MIN III ne proved
to be of the character your friends have
pictured to you, but they woulG have to
prove to me by what authority they were
judging him. As for taking the risk you
mention, it would depend entirely what
