White for Young Brides Only.

Mrs. Annie Jenness Miller thus writes in
her magazine: "A widow or Divorce, no
matter how youthful, should never be mar
ried in a white gown. The white robe Is
symbolieal of original purity, and twice
donned Loses its significance, as does also
the wreath of oralge buds and the flowers
which are properly the prerogative Of the
girl bride. A travelling dress Is considered
good form; but some yzidews prefer q rich
gown of heliotrope brocade, pale blue satin
duchesse, or, in fact, anything that appeals
to the individual fancy. Widows are some
times embarrassed to know what DISPOSE
ton to make of the first wedding ring. 1t
should be removed so soon Us the lady mas
plighted her tToth, for no man likes TO be
continually reminded of his predecessor"
