SOMETHING OLD
A QUEEN'S NECKLACE
Modern brides may defy superstition, dress their bridesmaids in green, and choose Friday for a wedding day, but they follow to,the letter the old couplet which bids them, if they would be lucky in love, wear . ■ ■ "Something old and something new, Something borrow'd and something blue" when they go to the altar, states a "Xlaiiy Mail" correspondent. Miss Isobel Sellar, who .recently became the bride of the young Marquess of Graham, son and heir of the Duke of Montrose, was singularly fortunate in the "something old" for her wedding. A friend lent her an exquisite little diamond necklace, sot very simply with pearls and rubies and other stones, which belonged to Mary Queen of Scots and was a gift .from her to one of the four Marys who attended her 'during her stormy years in Scotland. :.Tho little necklace fitted'into the wedding picture admirably. ' It'fitted an old-fashioned Highland ceremony, iv Edinburgh's grey old cathedral; St. Giles's, with the bridegroom and many guests in Highland dress, and pipers to pipe the young couplo to their car when the Dean of tho Thistle declared them man and wife.
