were issued. Cards were presented at
the door and as a result, while every seat
in the church was filled. there was no

the case at former weddings where such
care was not observed.

1 were received and conducted to seats by
the ushers. Nr Gerard y Lowther, Sir
Charles Eliot Mr. ". G.. Max Muller, and
Mr. Arthur Humphreys Owen. all at

distinguished men and superbly go|ned
women. Mr. II. II. Freeman. orsanist and
choirmaster Of 81. Johns, played a pro-
gramme of selections. changing his theme

Lord Pauncefote. in black broadeloth and
wearing white gloves. escorted his daugn-
ter to the chanCcl The wedding
gown was splendid creation of
white satin and lace. which was ma1e IN
London and which the bride will wear upon
her coming presentation to the Queen. No
other bride who ever plighted her trotb
before the white altar of old St. John
over dreamed of 50 wonderful gown as
that worn today by the Ambassadors
daughter court train with picturesque
little mage to carry it was something en-
tirely new in the nuptial annals of the
church, and nothing could have been pref
tier than the picture made by the bride
and her tiny attendant. The front seams
of the robe were outlined from yoke TO
hem with bands of richly wrought pearl
passementerie, that extended in Van Dyhe
points around the skirt, the same trimming
edging the court train which was borne by
the little page. The yoke and sleeves were
of rich lace, and around the throat were
touches of soft chiffon. Over a wreath of
orange blossoms was worn a tulle veil that
fell in misty folds down the length of The
train The only jewels worn by the Ia
diantly graceful young bride was a pearl
necklace. an heirloom in her family and
she carried her favorite flowers, lilies of
the valley, arranged in a shower bouquet.
The little trainbearer, whose graceful
service to his lady not even Sir Walter Ra-
leigh could have eXcelled, was Master Sid
ney Kent Legare, the six-year-old son and
only child of Mr.. and Mrs. Hugh Legare.
From his golden curls to the tps
of his jewelbuckled slippers he was i
miniature cavalier who might have stepped
out Of the reign of Charles the First An
elaborately embroidered cloak swung from
his white satin doublet. and he carried
rapier at his side.
When Lord Pauncefote, the bride, and
her trainbearer had moved some distance
up the aisle, they were followed by the
bridesmaids the Hon Sybil Pauncefote.
Miss Esther Bromley the groom's sister:
the Hon. Audrey Pauncefote, and Miss Het-
tie Sargent. of Boston. the only American
maid of the group.
The pretty qusrtette were gowned alike,
