i Throwing Rice Throwing rice after a departing bridal pair is a custom as old as popular A pleasant fashion has been for a little time in vogue of inclosing small portions of rice in bags made of Japanese crepe paper and passing these to the guests When the couple are leaving the house these are lightly thrown the paper breaks and a small shower of rice is scattered in a much more agreeable fashion than by the old method The bags can be made quite ornamental orna-mental If it is to be a pink wedding delicate deli-cate pink crepe paper tied with tiny pink or white ribbon can be used Or the bags may be tied with two colors and passed around in wide shallow baskets which should be tied with a handsome bow of satin ribbonNew York Ledger
