A BLUE BIRD was the "something blue" on Mist Oenetteve Champ Clerk's wedding gown when the became the bride of James M. Thompson of New Orleans today. The wedding waa celebrated at the home of the 'bride's par eta at Bowling Green thla afternoon, and Miss Clark lived up to every word of the old-fashioned rhyme and superstition which says: "Something old and something new, something borrowed and something blue." The something old waa a hand embroidered underskirt that Mrs. Clark wore on her wedding day; and the "something borrowed" waa rare old lace that came from the chest of a St. Louis matron, an old friend of the family. The blue bird was pinned to her gown and came as a gift from friends In Washington. Miss Clark received several offers of bridal veils and had the opportunity to select from veils of plain tulle, which held historic sen timents, veils of priceless lace, which dated back to colonial days, and one of rose point, which is said to have been worn by a queen.
