weather had been threatening but the
sun came out gloriously late in the
afternoon and before s o'clock the
weather was all that the most fastidi-
GUS bride could desire. The wedding
was one of the prettiest and most in
teresting that have dotted the thirty
days of April and although very SIM
pie in all its appointments was ex-
tremely sweet and pretty. The ushers
announced the arrival of the bridal
party by fastening the long satin rib
bons along the aisles, and Immediately
after the notes of the Lohengrin chorus
sounded through tie church. Then
the bridesmaids entered, moving slow
ly down the right aisle of the church,
looking unusually sweet and pretty in
their simple gowns of white organdie
finished about the neck with marguer-
ties. Each girl also carried a large
bouquet of marguerites tied with long
streamers of white satin. The maids
met the ushers, who had come down
the aisle at the left, at the altar and,
crossing them, took their places at the
side of the alter rail. After the maids
and ushers had taken their places the
bridegroom and VIM. James, who acted
as best man, entered meeting Rev.

the alter, where together they awaited

her father. Her gown was exquisitely
beautiful in its simplicity. 1t was made
of white satin and was trimed with a

coiffure with a bunch of lilies of the
valley. She carried large boquet of
the same flowers tied with white rib
