cred with Spanish lace. basque Of
mingled yelling, satin and lace, a bouquet

The bridesmaids wore lovely white

That bloom in Man and God"
And now what matters the rest7 The
merely earthly part? The reception
the faast-the presents? The reception,
at the home Of the BRIDES mother-was
perfect in its style, elegance and hospi

presents were such as behooved the fond
love Of many faithful friends towards so
fair and beloved a bride.
Mr.. and Mrs. Scott will carry to their
home the best wishes of many commu-
mites. May their welded life he as hap
py as their youth has been pure and un-
selfish.
" We live for love, for love alone, and
who
Dare ohide us for itY Who dare call it
folly?
II is holy thing. if aught is holy,
And true indeed, If truth herself is true;
Earth cleaves to earth, its sensuous life
is dear;
Mortals should love while here,
And seize the glowing hours before they
fly;
Bright eyes should answer ey', warm
lips should meet,
Ard hearts enlocked to kindred hearts
should beat,
And every soul that lives, in love should
live and die,n
