this occasion.
The bridal gown was exquisite, simple yet
rich, and admirably adapted to its fair
wearer. It was of white satin, and consisted
of a petticoat entirely covered with pearl
pendants. and court train whose graceful
folds were unbroken by any attempt at
adornment. The corsage, with low neck and
short sleeves. was ornamented with pearls to
match the petticoat, and strings of the same
lustrOuS gems were wound about the throat.
A misty veil of tulle that sought to hide the
beauty it could not conceal, completed the
toilet. The bride carried only a white velvet
