Show A NATURAL TASTE. Girls love weddings. Why should they not? It is a curious experience to them. Their minds are full of the great theme; they tenderly record each incident; they can think of nothing else; and they tell each other a thousand times how the bride looked, and how the traveling dress became her. Not otherwise than when, a covey being dispersed, men go round and shoot the straggling birds, so admirers might easily win the hearts of the fair who are still hovering wistfully round the memory of a wedding. Thus nature has provided chances for bridemaids [bridesmaids] ; and thus the superstition that it is unlucky to be often a bridemaid [bridesmaid] is justified. For if a lady can survive heart-whole, and pass unscathed through these moments of sympathy, it is certain that she will never be won, because of her hardness of heart.
