elaborate decorations of the church made
a scene that will be long in the memory
of those who witnessed it.

tired from the church as Mendelssohn's
march was played. A reception was held
at the residence of Mr. and Mrs William

lions at the house were even more elahO-
rate than those at the church. Around
the parlor large palms were arranged and
trailing vines and banked flowers of the
choicest variety filled she windows and
hung gracefully from the mantels and
mirrors. Mr. and Mrs. Veeder received
under mammoth marriage bell of
