of ease and grace, with no attempt at dis

the contamination of "love's young
dream" after n courtship of several

with sufficient romance to make the case

slghe, then laughs; though annoyed, he
seeks to winnie conquers,t then be smiles.

hon under tinted shades, which lent

Ing an aisle with the ribbon. Then came

this aisle until they reached a pyramid OF
palms and flowers, banked In the south
east corner of the room, where they
turned facing the guests. while Rev. W.
/. Cole pronounced the beautiful oere-
mony fervently and impressively, using
the wedding ring, which was q handsome
band of gold, as a part of the service.
