l J &j9 about its pu
wen litical signifi
cance, social significance, ro
mantic significance and sev
eral dozen varieties of insig
nificance. It would appear to the cas
ual observer that the subject
had been exhausted, but some
events apparently never run
dry.
Yet another aspect of the
celebrated nuptials has been
turned up by Max Hess, a
publicity shy department
store operator in Allcntown,
Pa.
He has just weighed in with
a report on the commercial
significance.
Soma lime ago, Hess
opened in his shop what
was described as the world's
first bridal fashion coun
seling service for widows
and divorcees who are plan
ing to remarry.
140.000 divorces were grant
ed last year and that an even
larger number of husbands
had severed matrimonial ties
the hard way, by kicking the
bucket.
This swelled the population
of one - time losers to some
thing of the magnitude of 1.9
million divorcees and 8 3 mil
lion widows.
Hess reasoned that a size
able percentage of these fe
males soon would bo taking
the plunge again and, in prep
aration, would be unleashing
a sizeable chunk of cash for
clothes and stuff.
It was the hope of channel
ing some of this' currency in
his direction that prompted
him to establish the counsel
ing service for bridal retreads.
"While there is a wealth
of etiquette and fashion ad
vice on first marriages, there
is a dearth of reading matter
and counsel on the nuptial
arrangements for sccond-time-a-rounders,"
Hess observed.
His storo therefore began
offering matrons planning
to revisit the altar instruc
tion! on such matters as an
nouncements, invitations,
engagement parlies, rings
and wedding gowns.
The significant thing about
this is that since the wedding
of Gov. Nelson Rockefeller
and Mrs. Maryharila Murphy,
sales made through the remar-
lie noted that more than i nage service have doubled.

Apparently, the gubernato
rial nuptials caused a number
of widows and divorcees who
had planned to remarry unob
trusively to decide to make a
ceremony out of it.
I wouldn't be surprised If
big splashy remarriages be
came the fashionable thing to
do.
Be that as It may, it is ob
vious that the governor's sec
ond marriage has been good
for business in Allentown.
And what's good for Max Hess
is good for the U.S.A.
