in a big church with the usual accom-

Eectly beautiful the bride looked as she
walked up the aisle on The arm Of her
father to meet the bridegroom waiting
at the altar After the wedding break-
fast, and just as the bride was prepar-
ing to start for the depot to catch tho
afternoon train for her honeymoon, an
old schoolmate friend Of her mother

and sald my dear child, you were
the most perfectly lovely bride that I
have seen this winter! AS you walked

firm yet tender smile about your mouth
