PRESERVE THE WEDDING GOWN
Most Women Desire Some Memento

Most Women Desire Some Memento
of the Most Important of Events.
A woman's wedding gown is seldom
worn except on anniversary occa-
sions after the day upon which the
nuptials are celebrated. Most women
regard this garment as especially sa-
cred and take extraordinary means to
preserve it in all its pristine purity.
The wedding gown box is recent fad
for the well-to-do bride to adopt, and
it bids fair to have quite a vogue
That every bride possessed of any
sentiment wishes to keep her we'd
ding gown in a state of preservation
is a foregone conclusion, and this ele-
CANT receptacle is admirably suited to
the purpose for which it was de-
signed. 1t is made of light wood
enameled with white and having the
outside. A lining of tufted white
satin is revealed on opening the box,
and locks of silver and white leather
straps fasten it. A photograph of the
wedding gown is often taken by the
modiste before sending it home and
making a collection of the photo
graphs of wedding gowns or any
other distinctive costume is one of the
present fads, the idea being to pre-
serve the pictures as mementoes for
future generations and also as illus
trations of present-day fashions.

overlooking with sentiment. A letter
that any careless eye might read with
one smile for the gusi and the spell
