The total expenditure Of the Busch
family upon the wedding is variously
estimated at from $4,000 to 100000 The
floral decorations at the church, hotel
and Busch residence alone are said to
represent an outlay of nearly $4,000.
The brides sister, Anna Louise Busch,
as maid Of honor, was second only to the
fair bride herself in loneliness. These
sisters are two Of the most beautiful
girls to be found the world over, and
once upon time, it's said, at state
ball given in Constantinople, in con-
trast to the swarthy beauties Of the
Orient, their blond loneliness won for
them the title Of "The Angels" This
pretty name clings to them in all their
travels throughout Europe and the east.
Both Of these girls are Of the pure blond
type. with exquisite compilations. rose
red lips and curling locks Of gold, and
remind one of nothing SO much as dain-
ty, beautiful, Partisan dolls, but. I'M
like the dolls, animated, cultured and
intelligent.
One of the most amusing things about
the nuptials has been the great rivalry
among the leading hltels Of the city for
the honor Of being chosen as the place
for holding the wedding festivities. The
Planters hotel and the st. Nicholas
were eager rivals Of the Southern Tor
the coveted honor. With so many good
hotels placed at his service, Mr., Busch
was at loss which to choose. Tony
Faust, the famous restaurateur, cut the
Gordian knot. Being a mutual friend OF
Mr.. Busch and the Southern hotel man.
agement, he induced the former to have
the wedding at the latter hosiery. Thus
the Southern won the prize.
