Why Do We Have
Wedding Cakes

why do you have wedding cake?
If you asked this question Of the
brides you know would doubtless re-
ceive such answers as: "Other girls I
know are having it at their weddings"
or: why, it wouldn't be wedding
without a cake. The cake has been
made after the same recipe for genera
tions in our family" Or; IT must have
cake, for It is all made. It was made
q year ago when became engaged.
Our old nanny always makes the
cakes for the girls who are married,
and she starts In as soon as they are
engaged"
But what bride among them knows
whence came the custom OF wedding
cake?
Students Of such things tell us that
the prototype Of the modern wedding
cake is to be found In the cake which
was given to each wedding guest as he
or she entered the house to witness the
wedding ceremony In ancient Greece
This cake was made of pounded sesame
seeds mixed with honey--not a very
palatable mess, you would say.
Undoubtedly this symbolic cake could
be traced back still further and event.
nally you might md that the ingredients
mixed in the cake were supposed IL
laye some blessed influence upon the
Bride and bridegroom or the guests who
ate it.

Maids Once Began

In the good old days when house SER

every family not in actually straight

want or man servant Of some sort whose
duty it was to rise by candle or lamp

and sometimes carried up trays of early

less easy to get and those that we do
get SO often sleep at home, arriving not
until or later, we seldom have such
service.
There are so many little things that
ought to be done In the early morning,
it is shame that in every family there
is not some one member who will acc
complish such daybreak tasks and there
by be excused from tasks later in the
day.

BY BETSY CALLISTER.

TINE girl who follows the old ira
dition of keeping a hope chest
before she has any definite
i plans for marriage may be made
the butt of lot of good-natured
testing, but she surely has an advantage
over her friends who have scoffed at
such old-faShioned practices. BY the
she probably won't ind everything In
the chest that she viii need in the way
of household linen, but she will find a
very helpful beginning, and If she has
grain of sentiment in her makeup
the things in her chest will be doubly
dear, because each towel or pilloWcaSe
or bit of table linen will carry a mes
sage of affection and thoughtfulness
with it.
Our advice to the young weman who
wants to know what household linen
she will need for her first housekeeping
venture is this: Postpone your own pur-
chases until short time before the
wedding Then take stock Of the hope
cheSt-if there is one-and the gifts re-
ceived in showers and then use your
own monev for the gaps. If you begin
by buying all the pillowcases you need
and none Of the towels or sheets you
ma find later on that on the day of
your linen shower it will be raining only
pillowcases.
THE fewest possible sheets with which
you can start out consists of three
for each bed in the new house or apart
ment. That is really too few, but you
can manage well with four for the beds
In everyday use and three for the guest
room. Be sure to get sheets that are
long enough to tuck in well at top and
potion. 1t is so much easier to make
short.
However you mark your sheets by way
OF decoration, 1t is a good plan, If you
are going to send them out to be
washed, to have neatly sewed to each
sheet, somewhere along the narrow hem,
small tape on which is indelibly writ
ten your own name and address. II
you want to be a precise sort of house.
Wlfe, you Will also mark each sheet in
some way to show the date of its pur-
chase or the date on which its term of
service begins. Later on, when you re-
STOCK your linen closet, you may like to
see now long each sheet has worn.
There should be at least two, prefer
ably three, pillowcases for every pillow
! in use.
Three or four bath towels of gener-
gus proportions for each individual and
naII a dozen hand towels are the least
WIN which you can very well manage.
I You probably won't have to buy guest
towels, as they are favorite gift at
showers. At any rate, you should have
no less than half dozen of these. At
least three washcloths of good quality
should be allowed for every person In
the household.
Three good-sized washable cheese
cloth busters, one black dustless buster,
six substantial linen dish towels and
SIX OF the finer sort known as glass
two large floor cloths and one or two
Of the smaller sort-that is the mini
mum for kitchen linen equipment,
Never make the mistake OF buyina
lanything but pure linen dish towels.

Will not make its appearance in the
Spring and Summer wardrobe of that
large number of women who give up
formal affairs after late Winter.

THE normal waistline really is normal
now, 80 much so that we shall
soon have little reason to call it any
thing but q waistline. If by lowering
the belt or waistband an inch or 90 a
woman can improve the proportions Of
her figue, well and good. That Is q
matter Of individual treatment, not Of
styles generally.
Short sleeves, shoulder capes, boIeros.
naring skirts, rufiies, bows, jabot
blouses-these are all details that are
mentioned in every review of the new
faAhionS and these are all things that
ada to the allure of dress and that suK-
gest a return to romance and sentl-
ment.
