RaphaePs Catholic Church, at Kingston
on-Thames, at 1890 o'clock this morning
to Princess Helene of Orleans, second
daughter of the late Count of Paris.
The church was profusely and beauti-
fully decorated with tall palms, orchids,
paintings, ETC., and there was a profu-
sion of white and pink roses around the
altar. Princess Helene and her mother,
the Countess de Paris, drove in car
riage from Orleans House, Twickenham,
where the bride was born, to the church.
The route from the residence to the
church was decorated with flags, and the
general festive appearance of things was
heightened greatly by the bright sun
shine. The Princess was robed in a
white satin bridal dress, very simple in
design and admirably suiting her TALL
slender figure, with veil of Chantilly
lace, especially woven at Bayeux for the
occasion. Her head dress was coronet
of orange blossoms and she carried bou-
quet of the same.
The Duke of Aosta was accompanied
to the church by his brother the Count
of Turin, and the bride was given away
by her uncle. the Due de Chartres, in
the absence of her brother, the Due d.
Orleans, head of the Bourbon branch or
the House of Orleans, who was inca
pacitated from performing that ceremony
owing to his recent accident while shoot
ing in Spain. c,,,,
that the Count of Paris and Princess
Isabella of Orleans, the father and moth
er of the bride. were married in 1854.
