Made BRIDES Cheeks ROSY.

Persons who wondered why the
bride looked 60 rosy at a recent
fashionable wedding, says the
New York Press, have just learn
ed all about it. As the bride'e elect
was tripping up the steps Of the
church the carpet which was
spread out before the sacred edi-
fee slipped under her foot and,
save for a quick clutch on the bril-
dial veil by an attendant, the STUN
BILE might have cost the young wo-
man dear. AS it was, her hair
was almost pulled down and the
veil was ripped in several places.
The bride, feeling that this was an
unlucky omen, burst into tears,
and many minutes passed before
she was in trim to make her grand
entrance. AS it was, the height
ened color made her look different
from the tired.out looking brides
one is SO used to seeing. Because
Of the accident she was voted one
Of the prettiest brides Of the sea-
son.
