GLIMPSE OF BRIDAL LORE

Long Believed In, and Likely to Be Cherished by Many Coming Generations.

To tie white ribbon on a bride’s trunk insures happiness to her. It Is very unlncky to begin the wedding gown before the day is named. It is considered lucky for a bride to have her veil torn on her wedding day. It means good luck for the newlymarried pair to keep the route of their wedding Journey a secret. A yellow garter knit by a friend and presented as a surprise and worn upon the left knee at Easter will insure a wedding within a year. If a bride wears upon her wedding day some article which her mother wore at her own wedding she will be insured many years of married life. If a maiden or widow bolds tbe wedding dress of a friend in her lap Sr five minutes she will be married ifofi the year is out. Should she make 4 wish holding the gotfn it will be sure to come true.
