THE BRIDE’S HANDKERCHIEF Making a handkerchief for the bride, Deep crocheted lace along each side; Loving stitches by an old friend (The only present she could send). “American Lace”, crochet has been called; Fine handwork, worthy of all High-bom or low-bom great or small. Feminine pride for such things call. The bride is a vision of loveliness. Tucked in the wrist of her wedding dress The Bridal Handkerchief all snowy white, Goes up the aisle in the candle light. White satin ribbons champagne and flowers- Enchanted, radiant, glowing hours; Memories to treasure and last through the years, Undimmed by the mists of future-day tears. Careful hands pack the kerchief away in blue tissue-paper against the day, When the bride’s clever hands will fold A bonnet, for a baby just a few weeks old. The Christening Bonnet for her first-bom Snowy white and with deep lace adorned. White satin ribbons tied under wee chin, The Bridal Handkerchief serves again. iczrar* fT-*" *■' > LdU._ •JwH • *U M •' j i.
