WHAT THE BRIDE WORE

Something old, something new, Something borrowed, and something, blue Something old—that’s Grannie’s lace, Set with orange-buds, to grace The little bride’s enchanted face. Something new—a simple dress; | Like a pearl of loveliness. Something borrowed—be content; Her youngest niece has proudly lent A handkerchief and a drop of scent! Something blue—though none could see, A sky-blue garter clasped her knee. PRINCESS MARY’S GOWN. Pincess Mary’s court gown which she wore at the first Court, was of gold tissue mounted over green satin, which showed at the hem and at the neck. The train, of the gold lace, was also mounted on green satin, and an ostrich feather fan to match was carried. WASHING GLOVES. When washing suede or kid gloves do not use hot water, but make a lather with tepid water and a good plain soap. When all traces of soil have disappeared, rinse thoroughly in tepid water to remove the soap. Do not wring, but press in a towel and inflate the fingers and hang in a moderate temperature to dry. Before absolutely dry, the leather should be gently “worked” or stretched to restore the suppleness. To obtain the very best results, gloves should not be allowed to become very badly soiled. Two banners are to be installed in Peterborough Cathedral at the spot which marks Mary Queen of Scots’ first burial place.
