with ivy, through the middle of

not, however, tell why he chose
to have his parsnts' remains

This curious act is accounted
for in a strange manner. 1t APP

they died, therefore, in order
that the money should not pass

Crimson Bridal Gowns

1t is of interest to note that
the choice of white for wedding
gowns is comparatively of
morden origin. The Roman
brides wore yellow, and in mos {
Eastern countries pink is the
bridal color. During the middle
ages and in the renaissance
period brides wore crimson to
the exclusion of all other colors.
1t was Mary Stuart who first
changed the color of the bridal
garments. At her marriage with
Francis l, of France, in 1858,
she was gowned in white brocade
with a train of pale blue Persian
velvet six yards in length. This
innovation caused a great stir
in the fashionable world of that
time. 1t was not, however, until
the end of the 18th century
that pure white became popular
tor bridal garments.
