in cordial welcome, and whose many
windows shot out great bars OF golden
light against the darkness of the night

number of japanese liant rms, and the
whole house was mass of flowers,
handsomely and effectively arranged.
The floral feature of the evening was nm
arch ofevcrgreens, in the center OF which
w.re the letters &c. b. Directly be-
meath these was n floral key, ON either
side of which WIS beautifully arranged
heart. Pendant below the key was the
marriage bell, "A gem OF margucrites,
roses, stephanotis and tube roses. In
addition to the light from the chandeliers,
multitude of waxen candles shed their
mellow light upon the Iovsincss and
beauty which thronged the room. Short
