column article Of journal Of the day we
find this meager account of the brides
dress and the appearance Of the young
bridegroom: II
"a mild and gentlemanly looking young
FULLY attired. Her robe was OF white satin
trimmed with lace and gracefully tringed with
sprigs Of orange blossoms. Her train Of lace
was borne ty twelve young and lovely girls Of
the blood of the Percys and the Plantagenets
On her head rested q light wreath of orange
flowers, but no scarf concealed the neck and
no veil threw its fragile screen over q face
which was free for all to look on. On her neck
was lace Of little stars, and on her shoulder
the collar of the garter" ".@1
That's all. The bridegroom is now
dead. And the wife is widow with a
numerous family. The world moves.
