She was dressed in rich materials - satins, and lace, and silks - all of white. Her shoes were white. And she had a long white veil dependent from her hair, and she had bridal flowers in her hair, but her hair was white. Some bright jewels sparkled on her neck and on her hands, and some other jewels lay sparkling on the table. Dresses, less splendid than the dress she wore, and half-packed trunks, were scattered about. She had not quite finished dressing, for she had but one shoe on - the other was on the table near her hand - her veil was but half arranged, her watch and chain were not put on, and some lace for her bosom lay with those trinkets, and with her handkerchief, and gloves, and some flowers, and a prayer-book, all confusedly heaped about the dressing table mirror.

Read the article "Chicago's International Airports" and answer the question.

Chicago is a transportation hub. There are several airports in or near the city. O'Hare International and Midway International are two of the busiest airports in the area. They share many similarities and have some key differences. The city's busiest airport is O'Hare International Airport. It is located northwest of downtown Chicago. To travel between the airport's four terminals, passengers use the automated Airport Transit System. These trains travel over 2.7 miles of track and can carry 2,400 passengers in an hour. Other options for moving between terminals include the pedestrian tunnels and the Terminal Transfer Bus. O'Hare has about 1,028 direct domestic flights and 126 direct international flights each day. In contrast to O'Hare, Midway International Airport is a relatively small airport located southwest of downtown Chicago. The airport only has three concourses, making travel between gates easy and efficient. The facility has approximately 238 direct domestic flights and 12 direct international flights each day.

Both airports feature a variety of artwork, restaurants, and activities for people to experience. The Chicago Public Art Program provides the paintings, murals, sculptures, and exhibits in the corridors of both airports. O'Hare International Airport displays a replica of the fighter plane flown by Lieutenant Commander Edward H. O'Hare, the airport's namesake. Likewise, Midway contains an exhibit of the SBD Dauntless, a dive bomber plane recovered from Lake Michigan. Both airports also have restaurants that feature Chicago delicacies created by local chefs, but only O'Hare has the world's first airport aeroponic garden where foods for the airport restaurants are grown. Passengers waiting at both airports can relax and stretch in the Yoga Room. They can also visit the world's first aeroponic garden in an airport where foods for the airport restaurants is grown. While both airports are kid-friendly, O'Hare provides a special interactive children's area. The "Kids on the Fly Exhibit" allows children to play in a model airplane, helicopter, and control center. With the additions of the aeroponic garden and the children's play area, O'Hare offers a unique airport experience
