Something old and something new; Something borrowed and something blue. The old rhyme was carried out to the letter by Miss Frances Harvey, whose marriage to Sir Patrick Playfair at St. Paul’s Knightbridge, recently, will long be remembered in the annals of society weddings, as one of the pret- tiest mixtures 8f old-world superstition and up-to-date smartness. “Green stockings for luck,” was an- other quaint idea carried out at the wedding. -According to tradition the wearer must be one bridesmaid out of six, and must be older than the bride herself. It was a small matter to ex- cite so much interest, and yet the crowd of watchers outside the church door included many smartly-dressed women, whose single motive was to catch a glimpse of the green stockings. Each pretty bridesmaid as she stepped daintlly out of her carriage had no THE LOVE PROBLEM IN “CRITTENDEN" { More Exciting Than Ever in the | NEXT SUNDAY o+ thought whatever bestowed on her frock or face, all eyes being fixed with embarrassing earnestness on her feet. The wearer appeared at last in perscn of pretty Miss Rugge-Price, and a sigh of relief went up when. on the opening of the carriage door, a little foot, clad in emerald-green silk, be- came visible. - | l 1 | | { CALL % Reverting to the rhyme, the “some- | thing old” was the lovely old English point on the bride’'s wedding gown, which itself carried out the “something new” by being composed of rich bro- cade velvet, the latest fashionable at- tire for brides. “Something borrowed” was difficult to notice, but the “something blue” might have been seen in the exquisite nosegay of orchids which she held. “Something blue,” too, was worn by many of the guests at the church, and pretty Mrs. Arthur Leslie, Lady Mar- tin, Mrs. Boyle (whose dark blue dress was enriched with wonderful Russian sables), and Mrs. Atherton (whose bright blue velvet gown sported a sin- | sman boy, gle monster-blue-mauve orchid in front) were some of those who, by chance or desigmn, followed out the bride’s wish.—London Express. _——-—— Patience—He’s a regular bruiser.
