MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 26, 1920 NOT ALL FLOWER CROWNED Ornaments of Brides Vary in Different Countries—German ~ Wreaths Mostly in Myrtle. The custom of crowning the bride with a wreath of some kind is ob- served in nearly all parts of the world, the usage varying but little, even though there are few other common customs because of variation of ideals and degrees of civilization. Where " flowers are ;eadfly obtainable, flowers are used for this purpose, but quite a variety of flowers are used, the cholce being dependent on what the particular nation regards as most sym- bolic of the renewing life and fruit- fulness of spring. England, France and America find orange blossoms the-ideal crown for their brides, while pink carnations and red roses deck the brides of Spain. The, bridal wreath in the Ionian Isles 1s ' made from vine leaves. In Germany the wreaths are of myrtle, though in the Black forest hawthorn Is used, and in Bohemia rosemary is the fa- . vorite, In Pesth ribbon and artificial flowers are blended in a gay mass. Switzerland makes its bridal wreaths . of white roses. y A few nations use crowns rather than wreaths, and the Norwegian, Swedish arid Serblan crowns of silver are sometimes very handsome and even beautiful. In Bavaria and Silesia | there may be seen bridal crowns of fine wire, gold, glass beads and tinsel while in Athens fine filigree work is used. SAW HUMOR IN SITUATION Speaker Might Have Been a Bore, but He Had Tact Enough to Carry Off His Joke. A teachers’ institute was being held and a numbéer of noted speakers had been engaged for the three-days’ ses- slons. - On the second afternoon, after a morning of round tables and lectures, a group of us teachers were sitting in the auditorium of the church in which the meetings were being held, debat- ing whether to remain for the next lec- ture or mnot. E “QOh, let us go,” I exclaimed; “I'm tired, and I've heard that this man is Just a perfect bore, anyway 1" A rather insignificant man sat next tome, who turned his head, and with & merry twinkle in his eye, said: “Yes, ladies; I know the fellow, and he is a bore!” However, we decided to remain, and the neighbor continued to talk to us. After the meeting had begun, and the preliminaries were over, the pres- ident of the association called for the speaker of the afternoon, and to our dismay the nice stranger arose, ad- vanced ‘to"the platform, and prefaced his remarks by telling the incident ‘which had just occurred and expressed the hope that the ‘worhen might be able to hear him through, in spite of his honest confession.—Exchange. Noah’s Wife. There must be somie foundation for the perpetually recurring story, in the medieval mystery plays of Noah’s wife, Noah's name means Tast.” Noah's wife's mahnp was restless. Her name was Napmah. Naamah was a daughter of Enoch, “who walk- ed with God,” q-ys holy writ, but Naamah wllnd about with her temper and nurly upket the ark itself with «xiék” she made at its uprearing. = She fought Noah with doughty fiste all the way through, and when the great man had completed his work she said she would not go in with the animals, The an- imals behaved better, and went tidily into the ark. At last Naamah con- sented to carry in the lyre bird. When they were afloat Naamah declared she was as blue as the sea. The lion® be- came outraged at this carrying on, and attacked Noah to attack Naamah. Pretty woman with the melodious game, you have come all the way down history from 2448 B. C, to the year 1019, A.

The theory is advanced from time to time that one or-two meals a day are preferable to the three commonly served in this country. If the same amount of food is to be eaten it is Rard to see the advantage of two very hearty meals over three ordinary ones. The best physiological evidence im- piles that moderate quantities of food taken at moderate intervals, are more easily and completely digested by or- dinary people than larger quantities taken at intervals, remarks an ex- mnm It the food ordinarily taken 18 considered excessive and, the alm 18 simply to reduce the amount, it wuld seem more rational to make all the meals lighter than to leave out aRe. The very fact that the custom d ‘eating a number of meals a day has 0 long been - almost. uniyerssl. indi- cates that it must have some advan- tages which instinct, based upon ex- petience, approves and justifies.

He described seven. k No. 1 was designed to show that America was not interested in the war and if she did enter she would be de- stroyed. No. 2 was designed to show that America had few ships and that they would be sunk.. No. 3 conveyed the idea that America was not neutral and was selling munitions to the allies and not to Germany. No. 4 dealt with the sinking of American ships, Amer- fea threatening and Germany declar- ing unrestricted submarine warfare. No. 5 was in derision of President Wilson and his 14 points. No. 6 rep- resented the American rooster’ crow- ing over the Argenne victory and de- rided America for fighting for the right of Chinese, Hindus and negroes, No. T.wa fore’ the Lusitania was suuk.

The Stokes house at Lenox, finally converted into a hotel, was one of the “show places” of the region when An- son Phelps Stokes, Jr., now secretary of Yale university, was an undergrad- uate. The young man perturbed his moth- er, just before a Christmas holiday pe- riod, by proposing to invite a number of his .classmates to Lenox. His class was that of 1896, and in the telegram, not caring to mention the exact num- ber, but intending merely to show that they were classmates, he said: “Am inviting '96 men to Lenox for the va- cation.” She promptly telegraphed back: “Do not ask more than 40. Have 35 house guests here now.” Which puts one in mind of a tele- gram Capt. “Archle” Butt once sent, while he was Mr. Taft’s aid. Mr. Taft had been eating many big dinners in pub]lc. at the height of the open sea- 8son, and he longed for a moderate re- past. So Captain Butt telegraphed to the next gathering at Chicago: “Make it simple. Butt” The telegram was made to read, “Make 1t simple, but—" and the collation outdid in sumptuous vatiety any of, its predecessors.” “Teap Vear MTassd. The rule used to tell if a year is, or wag, 4 leap year is to divide it by the figure 4. If it may be done with- out a remainder it is generally sup- “posed to prove that the year {5 a leap year. This is correct in respect of all years save in the case of the 100 years, that is, the beginning of a cen- tury, as 1700, 1800, 1900. In those years the test is to divide by 400. If these tests are applied to the last 100 years we shall find the year 1900 is not divisible by 400 and neither was the year 1800. Leap year occurred every four years after the year 1800 until 1896, but there was no leap yesr between 1796 and 1804 (a space of eight years). Neither was there a leap year between 1896 and 1904, ' On the Watch, Mrs. Styles—I see an inventor has combined a-cigar cutter with a watch for men.
