groom into the parlors, fragrant with the
wealth and profusiOn of cut flowers and
thronged with guests. The tiny flower maids
were charmingly gowned in the palest of blue
baskets Of roses. The bride, who is a typical
English lady, was clad in a cream-white silk
gown. demi-decollete, and en- train. She
carried roses, and at her neck sparkled dia-
