Show Bridal Supersitions. Perhaps there is no time of her life when a woman is more ruled by superstition super-stition than in the case of her bridal attire, and nearly every girl makes a point of carrying out the old dictum to the letter by including in her dress "Something old, something new, some-' some-' thing borrowed and something blue." The latter is introduced in form of an ! ornament and carefully hidden. No ! bride who hopes for a rosy future would, besides, dream of trying on her wedding gown in its completed form j before the marriage takes place, while in Germany her superstitious scruples and carried even further and the dressmaker dress-maker invariably contrives to leave pome unimportant detail of the wedding wed-ding dress unfinished, in which state it has to be worn at the ceremony. In former years green was sedulously tabooed on the part of the brides- ' ryaids on the escore of ill luck, but this year touches of green have been intro-l intro-l duced in numbers of cases into the - toilets of the "maids of honor," either ) I y . in the form of embroideries or the ' - trimmings of hats. |
