plumy ferns and dark rich evergreens
were artistically banked, showing clus-
ters of white and yellow chrysanthe-
NUNS skilfully wrought amidst the
shimmering green, while gracefully
entwining the chaGcel railing were
the same "glories of autumn" in the
same striking colors. COnsplcuouSly
displayed against this verdue of beau
ty and loveliness, were the initial let
white and yellow chrysanthemums,
suggestive of the union of two fair,
young lives.

but long before that hour the large
edit1ce was filled with friends of the
bride and groom, and general gath
e-ing of citizens to do honor to the
union of Miss Gertrude r. Vaughn,

and arranged themselves in a half
