The couple will remain at Castle Hill
until tho 10Th, and then sail for Europe.
The ceremony was performed In the

tdence, tho east side of which was
banked high with forms and pottcd

the charming sister of the bride, and

thus completing beautiful and inspir-
ing wedding scene.
Tho maid Of honor was apparelled
in q very becoming gown Of white
chiffon and satin ribbons and wore
purple violets.
Mrs. Chauler met Prince Troubetz-
kia In London little over a year ago
before she had been divorced from her
husband. Tho Prince paid her some
attention and invited the Virginia
authorizes down to tho homo of his
family in Italy. This invitation was
accepted by Mrs. Chanler and she had
quite delightful visit to Lake Majore.
1t was here that the Prince saw most
of his present bride. After Mrs.
Chanler's return to America nearly q
year ago the divorce was obtained and
she very soon afterward announced to
a few Of her most intimate friends her
on gagemcnt to the Prince. Since her
return to this country she had not seen
her prospective husband until ho
reached America upon this occasion.
NO Invitations were sent out to the
nuptials and there was no wedding re-
ception.
