The wearing of black at a wedding
was formerly considered so ominous of
evil that people An mourning either
stayed away from the ceremony or put
off the somber habiliments for the oc-
casion. The appearance of an innocent
black pin has been known to create
dismay among the wedding guests.
This prejudice has wholly disappeared
among intelligent people. Black tot
lets are worn at the ceremony and no
body ever thinks of any ill-luck to the
bride on this account. Brides them
selves do not wear black, but recently

was in mourning for a near relative.
wore wedding and travelling costume
of black and white striped silk and
satin. She wore cape of black satin
and lace and black hat decorated with
black feathers and white lace. Six
horseshoes covered with white roses, a
quart of rice and numberless superan-
nuated slippers tied with pink ribbon
were thrown after the carriage as she
left her home, so, as one superstition is
as good as another, the bride is likely.

happy life as is allotted to mortals in

FURNITURE COVERS.
Handy Slips for Protecting Upholstery
from Dust.

from Dust
The best material for furniture covers
is the plain gray or white linen which
comes in stripes for this purpose. These
covers are made with bindings of coll
ored braid and are preferred to a cover
figured in color. Where more color is
preferred in the furniture covering
simple figured chintz in light ground
scattered with a very delicate bios
som may be used. The chintz cover.
however, is not so easily washed as
cover of figured linen and is more
likely to fade, as the colored braid
does not fade SO quickly as the colored
cotton.
1t is not at all difficult for an intelli-
gent person. even if she is not an ex-
pert, to fit furniture covers. Patience
and abundance of pins are strictly nee
essary. Pin the material carefully on
the furniture first to fit it. fitting the
seat first and then the back. The seams
should all be taken up on the right
side, whipped first, then stitched on
the machine and afterward bound with
braid. Where it is necessary to give
spring or fullness little gussets should
be inserted fatty on the right side, and
each gusset should match perfectly the
one that corresponds to it. A little in
spection of furniture covering will as
sist the worker.
Thus far in speaking of furniture
covers we refer solely to slip covers
used to protect upholstered furniture

quite different materials are used, and
this is matter that is seldom done at
home. and when done so it is not likely
to be success, unless done by people
who have learned the trade.-N. Y.
