When there are two or more girls
in a family why don't they all use the
same wedding gown? Nothing III the
trousseau costs more than the
ding gown and nothing is so useless
and i1npracticable afterwards. A
wedding gown is never seen or heard
of after it's premiere unless, perchahce
1t is worn at the wedding of young
er sister when 1t might as well play
the principal part and be worn by the
bride as by the ex-bride for whom 1t
was originally made. All bridal toilets
are much alike and after a year or
two nobody would recognize one "A
bride had a wedding gown which cost
one hundred and seventy-f1ve dollars
After the wedding it was put away IN
tissue paper and sachet powder and
dress box built especially for it and
never saw the light of day for five
wears. When there was a big evening
function of more than ordinary inn
portance her family would suggest
that she wear her wedding gown, but
she always made the excuse that she
hated to get it dirty or the train was
too long or it was too elaborate. Final
" however there was a fashionable
wedding and as she had nothing good
enough to wear she decided to get out
the wedding gown and see II she
couldn't make it do. But when sho
brought it out the chiffon of which it
was principally built was yellowed and
discolored and the sleeves were nope
lessly out of date and the bodice was
so small IT wouldn't meet around
her. This is the finish of most we'd
ding gowns. They are no earthly good
after the wedding and they cost
enough to dress an economical woman
for a year.
