Old Wedding

Customs ~~. | “THE MARRIAGE OF DIA.

MONDS AND DOLLS." By Mary E. Lewis. New York, H. L. Lindquist. $8. °° By ELIZABETH STRAIN To the feminine mind, a wedding is one of the most fascinating of

topics. ' But when Mary E. Lewis dressed her first “bride” doll—years ago—

she little realized all the weddingi-

information which she would acquire as a result, Mrs. Lewis recently has had published, in collaboration with Dorothy Dignainy “The Marriage of Diamonds and Dolls,” The book, pro-

of many of the “bride” dolls in Mrs. Lewis’ collection, one of the largest in the world, And, at the same time, it describes American bridal customs since colonial days. Wedding Gown Used Mrs, Lewis started her collection when she dressed a doll as a replica of herself in her wedding gown. She cut up her own dress for the material, and the outfit is cemplete even to gloves and shoes. The book traces bridal customs arid jewelry, as well as gowns, up to the present day. Each of* the costumes, like that worn by the miniature Mrs. Lewis, is an exact copy of the original Even the jewelry worn with éach is typical of the period represented. Most of the jewelry illustrating the book was lent to Mrs. Lewis by the Hammer galleries: The galleries also supplied the many miniature pieces—all set with real gems—that are pictured, Painstaking Detail The reader is given a glimpse of the work that goes into the dolls as Mrs. Lewis tells of a months-long search for a certain type of cloth to make a dfess. And the paihstaking

detail of the workmanship in the |

clothes is illustrated as she tells of the time—a whole day—it took Philip Mangone to scale down one of his suits for a doll. ~ The book is full of a miscellany of facts that Mrs, Lewis uncovered in the pursuit of her hobby.

down from mother to daughter. As the author describes the dress-

es and customs of each era her,

dolls represent, she also describes the jewelry popular during that time. The American brides of an earlier day wore wide plain gold wedding bands, but often their engagement rings were half-loops of diamonds similar to the modern wedding ring. The books ends on a modern note as Mrs. Lewis tells of the work of a bridal secretary and some of the problems she is called upon to solve. She also gives sound advice

on the selection of a diamond and
