one side by her father, the Prince of
Wales. and on the oJaer by her brother,
the Duke OF York. The bridesmaids
followed. while the gentlemen OF the
household the oqueries and others
brought up the rear.
Meantime the Queen had been con-
Quoted privately from her apartments
10 the yestibuls OF the chapel. There
the Queens procession was formed and
proceeded into the chapel. 1t was
composed Of heralds, ushers, women OF
me bed chamber, bearers of the gold
sticks. and other officials Of the Queens
household. With the Queen walked
with her son the Duke Of Connaught,
and Prince Christian Of Denmark AZ

colonel Of the Grand Guards. Finally
the bride and her attendants arrived.
The chapel band, stationed on the ter
race. played Z march, and as Princess
iIaud's procession entered the choir

Archbishop of Canterbury met the

there performed the marriage service,

After the register had been signed

the royal party proceeded to the State
dining room, where luncheon was serv-
ed, while the other guests were regaied
in the ball room. After luncheon the
wedding couple received congratulG-
tons in the picture gallery.
Princess Maud is very charming and
bright, and is by far The liyelies; and
most practically gifted Of Queen Vic
toria's many granddaughter. Al
though the third daughter and the
youngest surviving child Of the Prince
and Princess Of Wales, the br.de-e.ect
can no longer be said 10 be in her frs,
ycuth. She is three years oder than
her fancee. and owing to her indepen-
dent spirit and lively, inquir-ng mind,
she has seen more Of life than either OF
her sisters. She is devoted 10 her
mother. and since the death OF the Duke
of Clarence. she has given up many Of
her own amusementS and pleasures 10
revive the dropping spirits of the Pr.n-
cess of Wales. She has inherited not
only her mothers rare musical talent
but also the latter's love Of dress and
exquisite taste. and is perhaps the Only
princess who can design, cut out and
complete a costume. Princess Maud IS
one Of the few English srortswomen
who can break n a young horse, and
she was one Of the first 10 persuade her
mother that bicycle was not an I'M
royal mode Of lOcomosi0n. The royal
bride shares the family mania for col
Letting. and since a child has loved
ivory. Her friends constantly add 20
her already splendid specimens, and
among worry trophies presented TO her
at various times is a pair Of full-size
elephant tusks taken from an animal
in India. and a tiny set Of ivory dolls
tea ;h:ngs. which once belonged to the
pee. daugter Of George the Third. Prin-
cess Maud is a irst-rate angler, and can
whip the Dee with rare skill. Last
year she broke the record by landing
the largest salmon Of the season; she
ties her own flies.
Prince Carl is quiet and unassum,ag.
He passed all his exam nations in the
Copenhagen Marine Academy with
high honors. and is a lover of the sea.
He is adored N Iceland, where oddly
enough it was once his duty to save in
habitants against the depredat.ons of
British steam trawlers. He will be "A
next August. and is remarkable for his
extraordinary height, standing six feet
four inches IN his stockings. He will
inherit an enormous fortune from his
mother the daughter Of King Charles
of Sweden.
