scented the best society Of Columbus. and
they were there in the enthusiastic spiF1t

Fashionable brides seldom fail to have
themselves photographed in their wedding
gowns. In most cases the photograph is
taken after the happy day Miss Katherine
Clark. now Mrs Lewis Rutherford Morris
chose. however. writes a New York cor
respondent, to be pictured in her magnifl-
cent costume before she changed her name
for that OF the red-bearded physician. A
photographer performed this act Just before
Miss Clark started for the church. The
result is work Of art well worth p-eser-

heavy white satin is clearly discernibIe.
The Jewels worn, too. are faithfully repro-
duced- The expression Of the pretty bride
elects face is that Of the original when
