forgotten, The guest entering the
elegant drawing room was imme-
diately impressed with the beauty of
the scene presented. The large and
handsome apartment was ilIumi-
mated with two beautiful chandeliers.
At the farther end of the room and
directly IN front of the elegant mir

of tropical plants. Overhead was II
beautiful arch of cedar, from which
was suspended a large ivy marriage
bell surmounted at the base with
pure white roses and having for q

horse shoe stood a marble table.

were placed two handsome silver
candlesticks holding lighted colored

begun the bridal party came slowly

hall into the room. Each of the

horse shoe and then separating pro,

shoe until the bride, leaning or the
arm of her father, followed by the
groom, attending her mother, stood
opposite the table. The procession
then stopped and the father stepped
back as the groom advanced and
stood opposite the bride. Then be,
