(Hemmer photo) TEEING OFF * WITH deNISSOFF Early in the month, a release on “wedding customs” appeared on our desk, and as June, tradi tional month of brides is just about to bow out, we have finally found time to peruse the three pages and to discover therein the supposed origin of many of the better-known wedding traditions. Here are some: Engagement ring—this repre sents the very old custom of .a gift to a girl desired in marriage. The diamond ring originated in Italy where the diamond was be lieved to be a “flame of love.” In Egypt, the ring symbolized etern ity and also, the “captive bride” whose hands were tied to prevent her from escaping. Anglo-Saxons wore the ring on the right hand until the wedding when it was transferred to the left. Old shoes—To Egypt also is credited the custom of throwing old shoes or tieing them to the bridal car. Here the father hand ed the bride’s sandal to the bride groom, symbolizing a transfer of authority. Orange blossoms—The Moham medans in the middle ages used orange blossoms, their most pro lific fruit, in their ceremonies and today, their use symbolizes the hope that the couple will be bless ed with children. Rice and sunshine apparently carried the same hope of chil dren—it was formerly believed that if the bride looked at the sun, she would have children— thus the expression “happy the bride the sun shines on.” to cry, symbolizing her dismay (in olden times) at having been captured by force. This capture is now reflected in the custom of the bridegroom carrying his wife over the threshold of their new home. Something blue — in ancient Israel, the bride’s robe had a blue border signifying purity, fidelity and love—thus the cus tom of “something old, something new, something borrowed ai^d something blue.” The veil—among other reasons for the wedding veil, this is thought to have indicated long ago that the bride had been se cluded from men until her wed ding. Japanese tradition requires the bride to wear a veil over her elaborate hairdo called a “horn coverer.” Jealousy is thought to vanish when it is removed. \ One thing ’ we have noticed about weddings which apparent ly has nothing to do with custom or reason is that they invariably seem to blossom out in masses at holidays like, for instance, the fourth of July week now almost upon us, or at Christmas—periods when news is always unusually heavy and there is less time to deal with this abundance because of the holiday. Sandhills Summer Qub Winners Score Net 63 Winning combination in Tues day’s Sandhills Summer Club tournament was the team of Mrs. John E. Bhrry, Jr. and Mrs. Den nis G. Crotty, who turned in a net 63 in the better ball of blind partners event. Names of part ners were drawn after the field was out. Mrs. E. A. Regan and Mrs. J, J. McCarthy scored 64 for run ner-up spot. mm IN PINEHURST MONDAYS and THURSDAYS PLEASE CALL OX 2-6101 Carters Laundry & Cleaners, Inc. 155 W.
