Scott, the London correspondent of the Pha-
delpha Telegraph says: "Although the wedding
was very quiet one nothing could surpass the
magnfcence of the bridal dress, which was one
OF North's most beautiful creations. 1t was an
exact copy of a Henry ii dress, carried out in
rich duchesse satin, and was made with a full
court train. Instead of a bouquet Miss Scott
carried slver-bound prayer-book, a special
gilt OF the bridegroom. Although the effect
was, of course, not as pretty as the usual bridal
bouquet, the prayer-bool will doubtless serve as
cherished memento in the days to come Miss
Louise Scott, sister of the bride, was her only
maid She wore graceful dress of pale gray
SILK, draped with mousseline de chiffon and
trimmed with silver passementerie, and large
Duchess of Devonshire' hat with several rich
feathers. The guests were few, but among them
were several well-known Americans"
