Dedication for an album...

Dedication for an album...

To earnest words and eloquent,

To humor, wit and sentiment,

To language where ideas throng

To show the writer's friendship strong,

To chastened thought and cultured sense,

To simple lays without pretense,

To brief quotations chosen apt,

To hidden meanings quaintly wrapped,

To all the efforts meant to please

That come to pages such as these,

To show how much friends hold you dear,

I dedicate your album here.

As to Types . . .

"I have met with women whom I really think would like to be married to a Poem, and to be given away by a Novel." John Keats.

"It is the popular women who make shipwreck of their lives, and the unpopular ones who sail safely into pleasant havens. My experience is that the attractive woman gets the nice little things and the unattractive ones the nice big things in this world." Ellen Thorneycroft Fowler.

"Why should a woman with a comfortable home, a good husband and sweet children permit the demon of unrest to enter her mind and destroy her peace, because she cannot astonish the world with splendid toilets, and entertain her friends in a villa at Newport, or buy a castle in Europe, as some of our multi-millionaires are doing? Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

"It is an uncommon event to meet a woman who, if put into the confessional of conscience, would not own that at some period of her life she had wished she had been born a boy." Marian Harland.

Wedding Rings

       Wedding-rings have been in use from early days, but the early Christians do not appear to have adopted them till 860 A. D. They were not at first the plain circlets we now use, but were often highly decorated.

The custom was of pagan origin, and at first was not welcomed by the Church. Even in the time of the Commonwealth the custom was considered to be of "heathenish origin," and was discouraged, though not entirely abandoned. In some countries both men and women wear them. No doubt many of the posy rings were made for this purpose, including those with mottoes such as:

• "In thee my choice I do rejoice"
• "Tis God above doth seal our love"
• "Thou hast my heart till Death doth part" 
• "I kiss the rod from thee and God"
