Proposing by Flowers.
In remote Alpine hamlets. and via
lages, especially in the Bernese Ober-
t customsland, there still exist ancient and met -
;
customs of proposing marriage by
the language of flowers.
If a maid accepts a bouquet of edel-
1 wales from a man she at the same time
accepts him as her fiance, the idea be-
ing that the man has risked bis life
to obtain the flowers far the woman he
loves.
Another method which exists in the •
Canton of Glarus is for the young man
to place a flower -pot containing a
single rose and a note on the window-
sill of a girl's roam when she is ab-
sent from Home, and wait—perhaps
days --for a reply.
If the maid takes the rose the young
man boldly enters the house to arrange
matters with her parents; but if the
rose is allowed to fade the proposal is
rejected without a single word having
been exchanged between the couple,
