The evil omen which one bewares Of
now more than any other is that of
the bride looking into a mirror while
in her bridal robes before the day of
her wedding. 1t is a popular belief
that a short life and in luck is the
penalty of this, and many declare 1t
strangely true.
Almost all brides wear something
old, something new, something borrowed
and something blue" as it is believed
that doing so insures health, wealth,
ConstanCy and happiness.
At present, when Dame Fashion is
so eccentric, the bride must beware;
there is no harm in the style itself,
but the color of the wedding gown has
been thought to mean much ever since
Eve chose green leaves for her first
costume and got into so much trouble.
