Perhaps there Is no time of her llfo when a woman Is more ruled by superstition super-stition than In tho 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, something some-thing borrowed and something blue." The latter Is Introduced in form of an ornament and cnrefullyhldden. No bride who hopes for a rosy future would, besides, be-sides, dream of trying on her wedding gown In its completed form before tho marriage takes place, whllo In Germany Ger-many her superstitious scruples aro enrried even further nnd the dressmaker dress-maker Invariably contrives to leavo some unimportant detail of tho wedding wed-ding dress unfinished. In which state It has to bo worn at the ceremony. In former years green was sedulously tabooed on tho part of tho brides maids on the scoro of 111 luck, but this I year touches of green have been Intro- duced In numbers of cases Into the i toilets of the "maids of honor," cither in the" form of embroideries or tho trimmings of hats. |
