From earliest times, marriage has been an important part of man's legal and religious systems. However, through the ages, it has taken some mighty strange forms. For instance, among the Brahmins of Southern India a younger brother was not supposed to marry before an older one —so the lucky elder son sometimes found himself ingeniously married to a tree to get him out of the way. Neither did 'the desire for children always foster the basis for marriage. In fact, primitive man didn't even know he had any! As late as 1914 Trobriand islanders of the South Pacific thought women got pregmant by going swimming. "A fish has bitten me," the expectant mother explained demurely. But, apparently our primitive forefather had a big heart. He got to like the little gaffers following his wife around and decided to feed and look after the whole kit and caboodle. • • • In some societies, a woman's brother looked after her children and anthropologists have trouble finding the father in the shuffle. But he's there. 'A' might look after 'B's' kids and 'B' look after `C's' and if 'C' saw to it 'A's' were properly cared for, it all worked out in the long run, even if it was by remote control. ) By today's standards, our primitive ancestor may seem immoral but he took his marriage customs, whatever they were, seriously. For instance, polygamy was considered moral to almost all cultures but our own. Polygamous man was very properly married with one wife to a wedding. It was just that he had quite a few weddings. Sometimes it wasn't any picnic for him. Picture the poor fellow after a night on the town with twelve wives pounding him and screamin, "Why did you ever marry us?" Actually, polygamy was a class distinction. It was limited to wealthy men who could afford to --pay for more than one wife. Successful men got extra wives for the same reason today's big spenders get two or three Cadillacs — because they could afford them. In the long run it saved him some money, too, because the more wives a man had the more work they could do, and since they were his property they were - „expected to earn their room and hoard by doing more than just looking beautiful. • • Throughout much of the world's history marriages were "arranged by the families of the couple, and in view of North America's present-day divorce rates, it would be hard to prove our forefathers weren't right. In ancie-2', Greece, there had to be several witnesses to a marriage, but the bride didn't need to show up. Later, after a feast the groom took his heavily veiled bride, who had put in appearance by this time, but whom he hadn't got a peek at yet, over to his father's house and carried her across the threshold. This was supposed to symbolize bride-capture from prehistoric times. Many persons believe that the best man today fills the same function as the groom's strong-armed friend of earlier times. He helped the groom escape from the bride's father. The honeymoon, too, is supposed to come from the ancient custom of hiding out with the bride for a few days in the hopes her parents' wrath would cool enough for them to put in a safe appearance. Our prehistoric feelings show up in other wedding customs. We attach tin cans to the wedding car to scare off any spooks who might be out to do the couple harm; we throw rice because it is the symbol of fertility. The roundness of the wedding ring symbolizes the couple is united forever, and worn 'on the third finger of the left hand because people used to believe a vein in this finger ran directly to the heart. In the 1300's French brides peeled off a stocking or a garter and threw it to their friends. The lucky girl who caught it was supposed to be the next bride. Needless to say, the throwing of the bridal bouquet stems from this. • • • In the past, marriage arrangements often involved finance but was a respectable part Facts N' Fancies By Gwyn of community economy, If at one time, a man bought a wife for nine oxen, he was still ahead of his modern counterpart who must often purchase a diamond ring, ranch house and all the fixings. • Speaking of engagement rings. Other gems may be used but an old superstition tells us that the diamond's sparkle originated in the alchemists fires of love. Legally, (so my authorities tell me) the engagement ring belongs to the man until the marriage takes place. If the engagement is broken, the woman is supposed to return it, but after the wedding, the ring is hers. Marriage has always had the reputation of being a perilous event, and the French author, Montaigne, observed many years ago, "Marriage is like a bird cage — the birds without despair to get in, and those within despair to get out." But, people still go on getting married anyway. Perhaps man has the need of fulfilling one of his oldest and most important inventions, the act of looking after a woman. When the bride whispers to promise to love, honour and obey she is really just being polite, but when the groom promises to look after her through sickness and health, hell and high water, the real marriage begins. 1/4 cup liquid from peas 1/4 teaspoon onion salt Dash pepper 2 7-oz. cans chicken 1 10-oz. can peas, drained 1 10-oz. can kernel corn 1 cup crushed potato chips Combine and heat soup, vegetable liquid, onion salt and pepper.

Quick action for rug cleaning The cardinal rule when dealing with carpet stains is prompt action. Get the spill blotted up as quickly as possible using clean rags, tissue or a sponge. The recommended technique is to start from the outer edges and work toward the centre. This approach helps to confine the area of the spill. After blotting, you should attempt to remove the stain altogether. A very mild, diluted liquid detergent comes very close to being a universal answer — but make sure that the detergent is actually mild — that it contains absolutely no bleach.
