Home Making Helps
By Wanda Barton
Bridal Veils, Rings, Rice and
Old Shoes.

UNE brides. and others, are
always interested in wedding
lore. no matter how modern
their wedding ideas may be. The
wedding ring. for instance. has run
the gamut OF iron. sedge, copper.
brass. leather. beads and adamant to
the gold and platinum OF today. The
first record of IL appears in Genesis
fourth. where Tubal Cain was the
instructor OF every kind or artifi-
GER" The old gimmal ring was cum
ningly made so that after the cere-
mony IL was divided so bride and
groom each had a ring.
The ring finger has always re
manned the same. chosen as the
safest finger and sentimentally said
TO have a vein connecting directly
with the heart. The old superstition
in selection OF the day said:
Monday for wealth. Tuesday for
health. Wednesday best OF all: Thurs
day for crosses. Friday for losses and
Saturday no luck at all"
The origin OF the wedding veil Is
a matter OF dispute. The Crusaders
were supposed to have brought the
custom to Western Europe. others
claim IL came from the Greeks and
Romans who e~nshrouded their brides
during the ceremony in a flaming
yellow veil. Record says that Mar
garet Tudor at her wedding to James
OF Scotland wore the first real veil'
in Western Europe. When Elizabeth
Stuart married later. wells were u
OF fashion. SO she wore flowing hair
confined with a chaplet OF flowers.
In the reign OF George III. this
fashion continued with gold and
pearl bandeaux and fillets Of ribbon
combining the hair instead OF flowers.
The honeymoon" Is a period last
ing from a week to thirty days in
customs OF different countries. In
rare cases II still endures for life.
Rice throwing Is a symbol OF the
saying increase and multiply" The
carrying a loaf OF bread TO the new
home-for prosperity-is a German
custom.
The casting OF old shoes after the
brides carriage does not mean luck
as 1t is generally supposed to do. but
is really the casting off Of frivolity.

Material success Is a coin current
everywhere by which q man q

vey the idea Of wealth.
The methods used to acquire the

OF sharp practice: the possessor OF
the wealth may be disconnected and
unhappy: yet he II still counted q
successful man because he has
heaped up money and been able to
keep It,
Social position Is also regarded as
success-likewise fame. Neither Of
these carry with them the idea Of
wealth.
But here again the measure used
is material. The world has given
these people a certain elevation. 1t

kind OF achievement. The stamp OF
success has been put upon them by
other lei
But should we really strive after
such values?
Are they the real worthwhile
things in life simply because others

Must success be gagged by the

Are there not other kinds OF sue

claim to recognition by others?

heart and the spirit.

feeding, there are many dangers to guard against.
The common substitute for mothers milk is
cows milk. But cows milk differs materially
from mothers milk, therefore, it must be "modi-
fled" That IS, additions must be made to give
it more nearly the qualities of human milk.
The protein content Is greater than that of
mothers milk. You can see why this Is: The
baby calf grows more rapidly than the human
baby and on this account it must have the build
ing materials which the ~proteins supply.
Another difference lies in the quantity of
sugar. Mothers milk contains fifty per cent
more sugar than cows milk.
These differences are liable to cause serious
trouble if clear cows milk is given the baby.
That is why such milk must be modified to adapt
it to the baby's requirements.
