bouquet originated with the old.
custom OF scrambling for the
brides garter. In the early four.
teenth century in France It was
considered lucky thing to win
the brides garter and everyone
rushed for 1t at the conclusion OF
the ceremony. Brides wisely left
one garter dangling where il
could be easily reached, but
nevertheless they were often hurt
in the scuffle So the garter
gave way to the stocking and in
the next century We find stock

custom. Stockings, however, are
not the easiest and most con-
venient objects to remove. 80
the custom Of throwing the bridal
bouquet gradually supplanted the
older one.
Everything has It's significance.
Each little custom that the bride
observes links her to the long
chain that stretches back across
the ages. These customs continue
from century to century and
though We sometimes consider
them q BIT foolish in our twen-
tieths century sophistication. we
know we would not ignore them

BELTS ARE
BACK AGAIN
BY Alice LangeIier-

PARIS.
Belts are back to the fashion
front again. There seems to be
no shop that does not offer
large selection Of them, and
every designer is showing frocks
with some kind Of belt.
In the first place, there are
no in-between belts. They are
either very wide or very narrow.
The happy medium, as far as
the belt is concerned, does not
seem to exist. The wide is, per-
haps, the most prevalent. 1t goes
well with the kasha sports dress
and comes in contrasting shades,
as well as in those matching
the frock.
\ Three-quarter coat suits and
many crepes and prints have
belts of various feathers. Lizard
and cobra are very prominent,
especially for the very narrow
OACSS dILd AOA bAO W1oCS SlA'AhCu
belt crocodile In very smart.
White and colored kid are fav-
ored, often cut out in design, or
trimmed with applique. For the
: thin summer frock, there Is a
novel and effective belt Of raffia,
which comes from Czecho-
Slovakia. Collar, cuffs and belt
ensembles Of leather are the
speciality Of several shops on the
Rue de Ia Paix. They come in
many widths, sizes and colors.- A
black set, with red embroidery,
Is bound in gilded leather. The
belt has large, carved-wood
buckle. Another, in white kid, Is
painted in turquoise blue. The
belt is very wide and fastens
with a large knot.
In fact, the fastening seems to
\ be the most important part of
the new belts. Sometimes it Is
tied, but most often there is an
ornamental buckle. 1t comes
sometimes in unusual forms.
Wood, stained and polished,
makes some very attractive
buckles, and mother.of. pearl, in
large oval or square shapes, is
used to trim others.

FACTS ABOUT TEA SERIES No. 8
Appearance of Tea No Guide

The only way to test tea is to taste it. Many
people have the idea that finely rolled
and tippy tea is superior in flavor to
large rough leaf. In reality this is not of
necessity the case. The altitude at which
the tea plant grows determines the amount
of essential oil and alkaloid theme I'm the
leaf. The essential oil gives tea its flavor;
the theme contributes the stimulating
value. The only way to insure always re-
ceivine uniform quality is to insist upon
a skilfully blended and scientifically sealed
tea like ''SALADA'' whose reliability, good
ness and delicious favor have become q
household word.
