SATURDAY'S BRIDE
NO FURS IN TROUSSEAU
PRUNELLA STACK'S WEDDING
Owing to the well-known humanitarian dislike of the Duchess of Hamilton for the use of skins obtained by trapping animals, Miss Prunella Stack, whose wedding to Lord David Douglas Hamilton took place at Glasgow
Cathedral on Saturday, did not include
furs in her trousseau, and most of the
guests refrained from wearing furs at the wedding receptions. Miss Stack defied superstition when planning her going-away dress, and wore an emerald green jersey suit and fitting cap to match. The suit consisted of skirt, jumper, and short waisted coat. Two hundred of the' healthiest and most beautiful girls in Britain formed the guard of honour outside the cathedral. They were chosen from the
150,000 members of the Women's League of. Health and Beauty, the organisation led by the 22-year-old bride. Costumes designed by the bride's aunt, Miss Nan Stack, transformed the working girls in the guard into veritable goddesses of classic elegance.
