it certain that human being had been Gre

Miss Astor,s Weddiuo Dress.

The wedding dress was made by
Worth and is said to be one of the
finest that ever left his establishment
and is one of the finest ever brought to
America. The entire dress is made of
white satin, embroidered by the most
skillful fingers in Paris. The design is
a clump of roses done in threads of sill
yer. This delicate work on the soft
shining background glistens like the
sun on new fallen snow, and is certain
ly most appropriately termed '.frost-
work. The front and sides of the
skirt are artistically garlanded with
half wreaths of orange blossoms. The
basque is short, opening in a V in
front, with sleeves reaching to the ell
bow, and finished with wide ruffies of
point lace. A plating of the same
lace completes the neck trimming.
The veil, of very rare and costly
Brussels point, is fastened on the head
with diamonds and orange blossoms,
then falling to the floor extends two
yards upon the train.

YEsTERNIGHE.

Long ! loved, In silence nursing
All the sweetness, all the smart,
Secretly the tale rehearsing
Yet unfold-tho' when my heart
First went forth unto the maiden
All the world was winter white,
And the summer air was laden
With rich fragrance yesternight.
Yestereve, what time the shadows
Deepened on the dais cd grass,
Homeward vending through the meadows
beheld the maiden pass,
And the love, so long unspoken,
Braveiy In the fading light
Pleaded for some word or token
or requital yesternight.
Not to ear or heart unheeding
My impassioned tale was told,
Nor In vain my wistful pleading
Sought her loye-ahoop of gold
Set with stones within still linger
RAYS of Jud's refulgent light,
Circles now a shapely finger
That was bare but yesternight.

4 ROMANTIC M4RRIAGE.
IN Eastern Belle Comes to Omaha to Meet
Her Afianced.
Omaha Herald.

| Omaha Herald.
One of the most romantic and, it
is to be hoped, happiest, weddings on
record, took place at the Paxton hotel
last evening, when Lieutenant F. Jarvis
Patten, of the Twenty-first infantry,
was married to Miss Hattie G. REESE, OF
New Bedford, Mass. The romance be-
gan in June, 1883, when Lieutenant
Patten, then stationed at Boise Bar
racks, Idaho, went east on six months
leave. He visited many places in New
England, spending most of his time at
his mothers home at Bath, Maine.
When his leave had about expired Mr..
Patten started to join his regiment, and
had got as far as New York when he
was recalled to Bath by telegram in
forming him of the sudden and serious
illness of his mother. While there he
met Miss Besse, and when they
parted five days later they were en-
gagged. Mr.. Patten returned to his
station and was soon transferred TO
Fit. Mckinney. The matter ran along in
the usual way until few weeks ago
when the young people agreed to meet
Ill oludHd OH tllc ACGu VI OCIOUtI dLu
get married. Miss Besse arrived on
time and with her came her father and
mother and sister. The young lieuten-
ant was also on hand, and greeted his
afflanced yesterday afternoon for the
first time since the betrothal. Later in
the day a license was procured, and
last evening they were married in one
of the private parlors of the hotel, by
Rev. Mr.. Harsha. The bride, who is a
beautiful brunette of magnificent pres
ence, was dressed in a royal robe of
white satin, en- train, and wore a white
tulle veil. She was attended by her
sister, Miss Kate Besse, who wore
rich satin dress of street length. The
groom and his best man, Lieutenant
Coffin, of the Fifth artillery, were in
full uniform, as was also Lieutenant
Charles McQuiston, the only guest pres
ent. Miss Besse's parents were inter-
ested spectators of the ceremony.
Lieutenant Patten and wife will re-
main in Omaha a few days and then
proceed direct to Fort Mckinney,
where Mr.. Patten has already secured
a comfortable home. Mrs. Patten will
be warmly welcomed at the post. and,
as she is lady of grace and refine
ment, will be valuable social acquisi-
ton to the little circle there.
Captain William H. Besse, the brides
father, is a capitalist and ship builder
at New Bedford, and one of the best
known and most respected men on the
coast.
