I ' JUST KIDS—A Bad Excuse. ^ M Uri" IneveR BE Eh BflBW»r* 1 - Grecian Marriage-Gesture. There ure two noted statues of the Venus Genetrix in which the Grecian marriage-gesture is illustrated—one a Roman copy of a Greek original held to represent a celebrated type by Al camenes. in Hie I.oiivre, Paris. The goddess is clad in a very light Ionian tunic, and with raised right arm lifts her hinmtion from behind toward her head, forming the Greek gesture sym bolic of marriage.

Japanese "Maru." The word "maru" attached to the name of every merchant ship and commonly accepted as meaning “ship” in reality has no known meaning. Ac cording to a Japanese authority the word is the survival of a custom cen turies old. There are two opinions as to how the custom started. The story, the more likely to lie the true one, Is that in ancient times the Japanese attached “maru’' to rhe name of any thing precious or highly prized, as a sword or a baby. It was first applied to a ship's name about 2.000 years ago, when the Empress Jingo sent an expedition to Korea. She added the word to the name of the ship Hint transported the troops to Korea. Ever since then “maru" lias been associated with the name of a steamship or sail ing vessel. It is never used with the name of a warship. Monitor office, Douglas 3224. Wedding Rings. The wedding ring was not alwaj* plain, as we see it today. It was fro quently highly ornamented and wrought with various designs. But as other rings began to he worn the wedding ring was made conspicuously plain. 'file practice, however, was long in vogue of inscribing appro priate mottoes on rings. The ring may lie said to be symbolic. It is of gold and typifies purity and refinement, whereas its rotundity signifies "the round flowing of mutual love and hearty affection.” Walking. Walking!
