“To switch lads and lassies from quickie ceremonies back to the catered works in to-be-worm-only-once white dresses, the [wedding] garment producers have turned to sociology. Through statistics as carefully laid out as a bridal train, they are establishing a correlation showing a higher divorce rate for the informally gowned.... They may just have something there....

Marriage for love is the most beautiful external symbol of the union of souls; marriage without it is the least clean traffic that defiles the world.” MenWorldWayNeedsLooksLittlesSoulSelfEnoughUseBeautifulNamesEasyLove IsMarriageWifeStreetsYouthCreaturesAdvantageUnionsCleanCarefulMy WifeRingsBreadSymbolsOne WayTrafficLooking GoodWeepingSkirtsDegradation Author:Olive Schreiner
