RRIAGEIN HIGH LIFE
Our Most Beautiful and
ming Bellies and a
althy Southerner.
MES to Take Place
stmas Day.


matter very quiet until the day of the cere-
mony, which is to take place In one of the
most fashionable churches of the city, and
the Christmas morning papers were to give
a general invitation to the public to visit
that particular church to witness ssOme ex-
ira Christmas services. After the wedding,
as the audience passed out, cards were to be
handed out to large number OF special
friends, who were expected to be present at
the srmptuous repast, to be served at the
residence of the brides parents. Of course
our readers would like to know who this
lady is, also something about the bridegroom,
but then we must plead our promise OF
secrecy. We said we would not give
names, and we will not, but we did not
promise not to describe her, and, if our
ton we can give, they are welcome to
do so.
| Is possessed of as fine features as perhaps
Won will ever find any lady displaying Il
| mirror Her nose is straight her upper lip
| is short, and might have been nodded from
| Cupid's bow; her chin does not form a per-
feet oval, after the cold and severe Grecian
type, but is slightly firm and prominent,
receding with decided yet exquisite curves
to the white, full throat Her cheeks have
a transparent fairness, in which the color
comes and goes instead of lingering in
any conventional place or manner; her hair
is too light to be called brown, and too dark
to be golden, in fact, happy medium, and
ripples away from broad, low brow in
natural waves, half hiding the small, she'll
like ears. Whether the reader recognizes
her or not, he must admit that she is beau
tiful, but no description can possibly do her
full justice.
THE TRoUsEAU
Was ordered from Paris, and was gotten up
by WORTH regardless of expense: White
Duchess Satin. The style is en- princesse.

vided by drapery of satin, finish the

orange-buds and foliage, set on the left side
of the bosom. Garland for the hair of
orange-blossoms, with buds and foliage

THE BRIDEGROOM
Is wealthy and influential gentleman from
the South; tall, well made and decidedly
handsome, dark complexion, black, piercing
eyes, black moustache, with the ends i1.-
clined to turn upwards, and very dark hair,
with firm mouth, straight thick eyebrows,
giving him general appearance of one un-
compromising, ambitious and aggressive-a
man who has already made his mark IN the
world, but who doubtless sees other rounds
higher up on the ladder of fame and fortune
which he has determined to reach, and de-
termination with him means success. The
two met by accident something over year
ago, at one of the principal watering places
of Virginia, and Cupid at once did effective
work. In fact, it was q case of love on
first sight. They have met but few times
since, as the gentleman's immense business
interests have kept him from making many
visits, and certain laws of society, of course,
prevented her from visiting the city of her
, lover. Yet, their correspondence was
voluminous, and the result was the time
fixed and the arrangements above alluded to.
:. The most extensive preparations have been
made for the occasion, and
BEAUTIFUL AND RARE FLOWERS.
Have been ordered from the most noted
Conservatives in the country to decorate
the church, and the parlor and dining room
of the brides residence.
While writing this, we can not help OF
thinking of the beautiful bride thus leaving
her home and lifelong friends, to make fol
strangers, and mixed up with the pleasures
nd nf fho &[a1
grets of quitting home, the tears of parting
! between parent and child, the consciousness
of leaving the dearest and kindest of friends
of the happiest portion of human life, tt
encounter its cares and troubles with Others
still untried and little known. These are
natural feelings, and we will not render this
> article mournful by further describing them
but will turn our attention to a more cheer
full subject, and that is the preparations
that have been made for the
WEDDING DINNER.
