AFTER ALL says modern writer, there is
something about wedding gown prettier than
any other gown in the world" All the girls will
agree to that. In fact lots OF en marry just for
the sake of the new "toggery." u them the
bridal is more attractive than the bridegroom
the milliner more interesting than the minister

as many gowns as the executor found in Queen
