BRIDAL COLOURS. When a bride goes to church in a colour other than the orthodox white her friends make curious comments on the unusual liught. A great, deal of superstition attaches to the bridal robe, and many poets have courted the muse on the subject. White, we know, is the symbol of purity and innocence, but there are other colors which are said to possess their merits, as will be seen from the fol lowing old rhyme: If married in white You have chosen aright. If married in grey You will travel away. To be married in black Will cause sighing, alack; While if married in red You may wish yourself dead. If you’re married in green. You will rue it, I ween; But if in blue Love will always be true. A bride dressed in pearl Will live in a whirl; While is wedded in yellow She'll grow tired of the fellow. If married in brown You’ll live out of the town. And if married in pink, You’ll hav* much time to think A wit who was shown these rhymes and asked to give an opinion on the subject, completed the effort by adding the following cynicism If married in white, > It may be all right; But to shun trouble’s call Don't get married at all. But if you must marry Do nothing rash, ii you can’s wed for love Then marrv for cash-.
