Lovely Bride and Pretty Maids. Couple Will
go Abroad for a Two Years Stay.
The marriage in Washington, D. c., at
noon Nov. 18th of Miss Margaret Clagett,
daughter of Mrs William Clageu, to
Nicomte Henri de Sibour, was accompani-
ed by many happy tokens OF the affection
in which the young couple are held by
their relatives and the large circle of
friends who afterward congratulated
them on the beginning OF their married
life. The ceremony TOOK place IN the
drawing room of the Clagett residence,
on 10th street, and its selection for the
purpose gave three points at which the
bridal picture could be seen-from the H.
brary and dining room, on either side, and
the hall through which the procession
passed. The drawing room was beauti-
fully adorned with plants and white roses
and chrvsanthemums. The mantel-
piece before which the solemn ceremony
took place was the keynote of the decora-
ton. Maidenhair fern and asparagus
vines were the basis, and amid the white
blossoms were lighted tapers, giving an
altarlike effect. The flowers in the Ii
brary were red roses and the autumn
blossoms, and in the dining room pink
roses mingled with the foliage and vines.
