It was literally day of roses a rare
June day. indeed. Everything that
the devotion OF their children and
grandchildren and the affectionate re-
membranes of countless friends could
do to make the occasion most joyful
was not neglected. Many exquisite
gifts in gold and silver and jewels were
received and the rooms literally
bloomed with roses sent as fond tokens
to the bride and groom in whose beau
tiful lives had been realized most of
the blessings the world calls good.
Many kilograms and letters from dis
tinguished out-of-town friends were re-
ceived.
The bride seemed fair and young,
indeed. to have numbered the years
accredited to her, and her face almost
unlined and her eyes as bright as
girls, made a pleasant memory in the
hearts of the throngs of friends.
The house, which is one of the show
places Of this region, was lavishly de-
corated in every available space Many
bouquets of fifty golden roses paid their
sweet tribute to the occasion. Last
night, brilliantly lighted and filled with
guests, it made a magnificent picture
