prominence of the contracting parties
brought together friends from far and
near, who, with the unusually large
family connection OF the bride, thronged
the spacious building. The church. more
than century old, was tasteful and
beautiful in its decorations of white and
green, the lamps shedding the green glow,
and the candles being white, while
masses of plants and flowers made the
pulpit look like a bower.
Precisely at noon choir sang the we'd
ding march by Lohengrin as the bridal
procession entered the church. The bride,
attired in white satin, en- traine, with
pearl trimmings, her veil caught with
lilies of the valley, entered with her sis

wore apple-green satin, and carried vio-
lets. The bridesmaids wore corsages of
apple-green. white skirts, and black vel
vet Gainsborough hats, and carried ferns
and white carnations. The bridesmaids
