The decorations at the church were
very handsome-yellow chrysanthe-

each pew, forming a floral avenue that
led to the altar steps. The chancel
was filled with the yellow blossoms, and

bons, was a huge cluster of the same
| flowers. The chancel rail was covered
with smilaX, one side being finished
| with, a flarge bow of white. The altar

chandelier by punches of crysanthe-
NUNS, was rope of smilaX. On the
side walls and festooned over the arched
| windows, We're heavy ropes of the green,
and long pendants of flowers and smilaX
fell from this between the windows.

a deep screen Of yellow flowers, and

dered. followed by Mendelssohn's
| March.

| creation Of white duchess satin, the boil
ice being fashioned into a Louis XIV

accordion plated chiffon and narrow
lace; the satin fell back from this, ter
minating in tabs between the waist

the design forming a vine with flowers.
The bodice in the back was finished
with knots of chiffon, orange blossoms
and a spray of ferns; the collar was Of
the same effect. The skirt was en- traine
| and perfectly plain with the exception
of an immense bow on one side. The
long tulle veil touched the hem of the
