their fair burdens at the entrance 20 the
edifce. and when the appointed time
arrived every available foot OF space In
the little church was occupied. over
six hundred Invitations were issued.
The interior Of the church had been
literally transformed into place OF
beauty. The bare walls were hidden
behind q profusion Of smilax and ever
green, and bright spring flowers were
conspicuous everywhere. Over each OF
| the two aisles, an arch was erected ana
covered with evergreens, which formed
a BACKGROUND for roses, which were In
| tertwined to produce an artistic erect.
Under each arch was small gate, with
smilax woven about each panel. Against
the rear wall Of the church, potted
plants and rare eXotics were tasteiully
and lavishly banked. The space be-
! tween the two arches, and the pulpit,
were also embelllshed with bright bios
SONS and roses. Vari-colored electric
lights diffused soft radiance, which
enhanced the beauty o. the scene.

mic strains OF the beautiful Lohengrin
