The bride wore an exquisite wedding robe
of rich white grossgrain silk, falling away in
panels on either side of shining princess
train of heavy pearlwhite dutchess satin
sweeping the floor in unbroken folds
Across the front dropped graceful folds of
web-like dutchess lace combined with point
and adjoining the sides of the robe
with jabot. The corsage cut
heart-shaped in the neck was
made with beautiful collar of silver bro
Grade, overlaid with lace and caught up
with handsome pearl pin. Two simple
pins confined the light mists of the tulle,
which fell in puffs to the end of the train,
adding a rare touch of beauty to Inc robe,
In her hand she carried large boquet of
natural flowers. Her tall, graceful figure
and fresh, blooming cheeks lent an air Of dig
nifty to her person, and tlu,ter of admira-
ton ran through the assemblage as she en-
| tered the parlor.
The bridesmaid wore pink satin, with
batiste claire lace front, with apple BIOS
sons and she carried boquet of flowers.
As the bridal party entered the parlor, Prof.
