The interdict laid upon joy and mirth by
the forty days Of Lent is over. Heralded by
the spring days comes Easter, and with bright
significance demands the unmufilng of mar.
riage bells. They rang out with peculiar
sweetness when yesterday Miss Mary Lack.
land, dear alike to her own family circle and
to St. Louis society at large, became a bride
in the zenith Of her youth and loveliness.
Fate, so often relentless, has ever been ten.
der with her, and truly may be said 10 have
led her maiden footsteps to the altar over
path strewn with flowers. The groom is Mr..
John T. Trezevant, of Dallas, Texas. He
first met, Miss Lakeland at Munich. Both
were accompanying friends to Obersmmer-
gan to witness the far-famed Passion Play,
which being performed but once in ten years
is like the blooming of the night Cercus,
seen, perhaps, only once in lifetime.
1t can be imagined that amid the scenes of
novelty for which one crosses the sea, moth
ing made such an impression as the young
American girl. Her countrymau, keeping
all else in his mind, could do no less than
wear her forever in his heart. The incidents
of travel have become memories TO recall or
dismis, at will, but she has been forever ap-
propriated. The ceremony was performed
at the house of the BRIDES father, Mr.. Rufus
J. Lakeland, on Lucas place. 1t is particu-
larly well constructed for entertainments.
Entering from the street, the long psrlor TO
the left hand of the door runs the Whole
length of the west side of the house. A line
OF windows with srch.shaped cornice of gilt
reach the ceiling on three sides, their connec-
ton being unbroken except by large mirrors
in piers and over man,els. An arch thrown
across tho ceiling in the centre rests on either
side of the room. The prevailing colors of
the room are red. green and gold. Curtains,
sofas, tete.s tetes and ottomans appeared in
each. Much of the furniture had been re,
moved to make way for the guests and carry
out the design OF the ceremony. Among
ornaments remaining were a magnificent pair
OF Japanese vases OF very large dimensions,
