H sterical Hysteria Can't Pin F per Fast? 'Try A Hank 0' Hair Pinning is old stuff. The musty pages of history record many unusual methods and modes of male-female relationships in pre senting tokens of engagement or marriage. In old Ireland, according to legend, when a . man corralled a woman with whom he desired to ‘ furnish his home permanently, he presented her with a bracelet woven from human hair. Today, mod ifications of that idea make mod ems content with a few wispy strands of shampooed hair from the loved one During the Middle Ages when the ring came into vogue, it was a simple - affair, often nothing more than a piece of iron, wood, or leather curved to fit the finger. Eventually though, some wise guy with time on his hands chis eled diamonds into allur i n g shapes and sizes and brought into being a wallet-emptying item— the diamond ring'. Ring Symbolizes Chains Some authorities have suggest ed that the ring developed as an offshoot from the days when cap tive women were chained to show their submission to their master. It might be wise to note that somewhere through the scamper ing seconds of time the situation was reversed, and today no man dare lay claim to the fact that he wears the pants in the home. Very little we moderns do as regards courtship, engagement, and marriage seems original, and even the idea of the bride's throw ing her bouquet at her attend ants is a vestige of times passed. In 14th century France, the bride was mobbed by her female entourage . for her garter—which she left hanging in some conven ient place on her person. Later, stocking throwing replaced the garter rush, but the difficulty of peeling off a stocking led one smart bride to the custom of pitching her flowers instead. • Wheat, Corn And Nuts Throvin Along with rice, wheat, corn, flour, frnits, and nuts were thrown at the departing newly weds at periods throughout his tory. In 1951 with the inflated dol lar this practice is being confined to confetti-tossing.. Legend has it that the wedding cake may have been first made by a Frenchman. While visiting mer ry olde England, this particular By LEN KOLASINSKI Frenchman stumbled upon a cere mony in which the wedding guests each brought cookie s. These tid-bits were piled on a table. After all the guests were assem bled, the wedded couple attempt ed to kiss each other over the pile. Success meant happiness and prosperity for the union. Cookie Pile Cemented It was on seeing this cookie pile that led the Frenchman to, Sug ?;esting cementing the mound with icing. The honeymoon was originated for a number of reasons. This perhaps illustrates it best. When marriage by capture was the fashionable way to hitch-up, it was only natural that the groom had to hide with his bride until her family and relatives gave up looking him. Today, she does the , :apturing and they settled for Niagara Falls, Bermuda, or Ha waii depending on the pocket book. It all started back when, but courtship and marriage is the newest thing in the universe to those who haven't tried it yet.
