surroundings of the spacious home where
the French ambassador and his bride have
been spending their honeymoon are not sur
passed by any estate in this vicinity. Com
paratively few of the guests knew that

Accenting her welcome, came that of the
French ambassador, upon whom congratu-

in winning such a charming wife. The
pleasurable interest which so many en-
joyed in seeing his bride for the first time
was amply gratified and the first impression
was certainly most successful one. Mr.

the furthermost points, the extensive
grounds were soon dotted over and every

served from a fower-decked table in the
dining room and ice chilled milk, lemonade
