rgHE LITTLE customs that have
come to bo a part of the mar-
rlage ceremony have had diverse
nnd Interesting origins. The ring
lias played an important part.
With the coming in of Christianity,
.it was no longer placed on tho right
forefinger, but on tho left third
finger. The priest, or in some cases,
the groom, first put it on the thumb,
saying, "In the name of tho Father;"
on the forefinger, adding, "In the
name of the Son;" on the second
finger, continuing, "In the nnmo of
tho Holy Ghost;" and then on the
third linger, with "Amen" and
thero it remained.
The bridal veil was originated In
Bible times and was worn until all
tho public ceremonies were over, so
it can readily bo understood how
Jacob was deceived into marrying
Leah, instead of her sister Itnchol.
In tho Anglo-Saxon wedding cere
mony a square piece of veiling was
held over the head of tho brldo to
conceal her embarrassment.
In tho later Biblo days during tho
period between tho betrothal nnd tho
wedding, the brldo remained with her
friends and could communicato with
her afllanced only through "tho
friend of tho bridegroom, " as nion
tionod in John Hi. 29, who also per
formed other services for tho groom.
Throwing shoes originated In the
old Jewish custom of handing to tho
purchaser of land an old shoo ns n
tokon of surrender or renunciation
(seo Uuth Iv., 7). Tho brido's pa
rents gavo a shoe to tho husband or
throw it after him to signify they
surrendered to him all authority ovor
their daughter.
Throwing rice symbolized frultful
ness nnd plenty, from Its general dis
tribution over tho world.
Taking the husband's nnmo origin
ated In Roman times, though tho dnto
Is unknown. When Julia married
Pompey, her name liccnmo Julia of
Pompoy. Modern women omit tho

It Is suggested that Marshflold
have another "clean up d( y" within
the next ten days In order that tho
city may appear at Its best for the
crowds that will gather here for the
Oregon-Idaho Development Congress
August 24 and 25 and tho Second
Southern Oregon 'District Fair, Aug
ust 2G t0 29, inclusive. It is likely

if the A. N. W. Club members, who
made such a decided success of the
"clean up day" a few months ago do
not take the matter In charge.
As there will be many hundreds of
visitors here for the big events, many
of them coming from a distance to
Inspect Coos Bay, it Is quite essen
tial that tho city be in the best pos
sible condition.
In tho proposed cleanup, It Is
urged that particular attention be
paid to the down town streets and tho
water iront, ana to cutting grass
and weeds. Marshal J. W. Carter
will probably be instructed to see
that broken and loose planks in tho
sidewalks are replaced with good
ones or spiked down.

AUTUMN STYLES
(By Mrs. A. W. Myers.)

As the tailored suit Is tho flr3t
item to be considered In every wo
man's wardrobe at the beginning of
the season, we will discuss It first.
For prnctical wear the scnii-flttc.'.
coat of Prince Chap style, 30 to 30
Inches long, either single or double
breasted, and with long sleevo usual
ly with a llttlo fullness at the shoul
der is best suited. Coats are either
very elaborately trimmed or have
hardly any trimming.
Suit skirts Just escape tho ground
In length, are plain, usually gored,
and slightly flaring. Some of tho
skirts will be trimmed with bands
of tho material applied vertically on
the seams, while others have five or
soven very narrow (say half Inch)
bands of tho material encircling
them.
Another good style coat suit Is
military in effect, coat about 3G
Inches long, elaborately embroidered
around edges, with regulation army
sleoves, and finished with enormous
buttons.
Serges In both plain and fancy
weaves, cheviot suitings In herring
bone and chevron patterns, in one
and two colors, and in narrow stripes
of two colors aro the materials' used

This being tho case It will be In-
terestlng to review something of the
historical significance of the term
Dircctoire, so as to get a better un
derstanding of its connection with
fashion.
Directoire, or according to English
writers Directory, was the term given
tho government which succeeded the
"Reign of Terror" In France. It
lasted from 1795 to 1799. From tho
outbreak of the revolution the minds
of tho French peoplo turned with I
strong interest and admiration to the
Grecian fore-runners of their Infant
republic. Everything Grecian ap
pealed stiongly to the people, and
when a few of the most daring femi

based on the flowing line'j seen in
Greek statues and potteries, the Idea
caught like wlld-flre, and soon every
