NOT ALWAYS THE ORANGE.
MYRTLE, ROSES, AND VINE LEAVES FOR THE BRIDAL WREATH. Only in England, France, and America is the orange blossom the bridal flower. When the German fraulein becomes a Iran, her head is garlanded with myrtle, except in certain sections, where gaudy wreaths of artificial flowers replace the natural blossoms, and are treasured from generation to generation. In Italy and the Freneh cantons of Switzerland white roses are dedicated to the brides as well as the dead, but in Spain red roses and pinks lend an additional touch of colour to the bridal dress of black and yellow. Greek brides are garlanded, appropriately, enough, with vine leaves, and in Bohemia rosemary is supposed to bri»g luck to the bride who wears it.
