middle aisle to meet the bride at the
main door OF the cathedral. There the
maidens. turning. ranged themselves in
two rows, facing each other and the
bride, passing between. conducted by her
fathers, led the way up to the altar. fol-
lowed by her maid of honor. and the

gance was beautiful beyond description,
