Frs, white Bridal Gown.

The first bride to wear a white silk
wedding gown was Mary Queen of
Scots, who introduced the fashion in
1858, when she married Francis III of
France. Her dress was. of white bro
cade, but over it she wore a court
mantle of Persian blue velvet, which
was held up by two pages. For some
time the white wedding dress was fov-
ored only by brides of high rank, and
it was not till the end Of the seven
teenth century that it became general
at weddings. At the close of the mid
die ages scarlet was worn by brides on
their wedding day, and scarlet is still
the bridal color in China.

The Bridal Chest.

Every fall bride will want a box to
hold the articles of her trousseau as
they are gathered together. Beautiful
boxes of cedar may be purchased for
little, and are made in very cOnve-
nient way Instead of the lid lifting
up. as did the box of great grandma so
long ago. the front may be dropped
down. revealing two drawers to hold
the things. The boy locks securely and
the effect is very neat.
Dark cedar boxes are orna mented
with the brides initials in German let
tiers of solid brass placed on the false
lid.
