said that AZ. 1000 blossoms were used, OF
which $4,000 We're Easter lilies. 1000
roses, 5000 peonies, 1000 orchid and
others in proportion.
While the congregation was drinking
in these details the organ, played by 4
master hand, was filling the ediice with
the soul-stirring music from "Lohen-
grin"
Then came a hush of expectancy, the
rustic of silks. a pause from the organ,
and the whisper of many tongues: 1.-The
bride is here ~
Outside in the street Captain Lantry's
men were almost overwhelmed by the
sudden rush of the ladies curioso. They
swooped down upon the carnage contaia-
ing Senator Clark and his daughter so
suddenly as to tai away the policemen's
breath.
The horses reared and plunged, but
were caught by the headstalls by q uozen
b~luecoats. Thu eager crowd was 1orceo
! back: and then the father handed out the
daughter and they disappeared into the
canvas funnel. Other carriages tolioWeu,
bearing the two bridesmaids, MISS MAJ
Pfouts of Butte City, Mont, ana MISS
Cristine Pomeroy. a niece OF .he 70
groom, and Mrs. e. M. Culver, the ma
iron of honor. and little Katherine Gull
yer. the 5-year-old, who with all the dls-
/ nifty of a queen preceded the praoe'
| strewing her way with flowers.
And right here let it be recorded that
| Miss Mai Pfouts was as pretty N sWee.
| and demure and dignified a bridesmaid
| as ever marched erenely up that fash
| ionable aisle. A little romance lies ma
| den here, a pretty story. which SHOWS the
| character of the bride and which shines
| more respondent than any gem which
| sparkled on her bosom or at her throat;
They were playmates together, kath-
crime and Mai, some years ago, before
Dame Fortune has cast the key OF her
treasure house into the lap OF Senator
Clark. Together their fathers had blazed
/ their way through the wilderness to tine
land of silver and copper; had built their
cabins of logs and traded with the
| miners. But while one became the mas
ter of the mines, a Croesus, the other re-
mains today a comparatively humble
trader. He still keeps store in a log
house in Butte, and is by no means es-
teemed rich.
When the question of the best maids
was preached and Miss Clark chose one
and DR.. Morris the other, she sent word
to her old chool companion that she
| must come here and bear her company.
And out of the rude old Mountains of
Montana came this mountain lass, such
roses in her cheeks as Fifth avenue does
not produce, and played her part-such
is the wondrous adaptability of the fem
mime Americaine-as if she were to the
manner of ST. Thomas and all the rest
of it born and bred.
That's the real thing in democracy.
And those who kno the bride of mil
lions say it represents the character of
the little bride, who is not ashamed of
the fact that her father won his fortune
in a hand to hand fight with nature.
Then came the good old wedding
march. The ushers led the way at
quickstep speed. There was a pause,
bridesmaids, the flower girl, the matron
of honor and the slender little bride,
leaning on the arm of her slender father.
Such a little wisp of a girl she seemed.
But she seemed smaller vet when she
came down the aisle on the arm of her
big and obust husband.
Everybody rose, of course, and those
in the side aisles craned their necks and
tried to see through the dense foliage of
spring millinery, white feathers, tulle
and bounteous blossoms of every kind.
The brides gown was very beautiful
of heavy white satin, draped with an ex-
quisite rose point shawl. 1t was made in
princess style, with an immense train.
The center point of the shawl met the
lace yoke in front, from which folds of
satin We're drawn to the waist. The lace,
which was fitted to her figure, fell to her
feet covering the entire front of the
skirt. Miss Martin, who made the gown.
arranged the ends of the shawl so that
they d1aped the train. The sleeves, like
the yoke We're unlined and had straps OF
white satin running around them at in
tervals. They were SC long that they
reached her fingers and made gloves u
necessary.
Four clasps of diamonds, the gift of the
brides brother. held up her lace collar
and below them fell three strings of large
matched pearls. A diamond bow-knot
with a p~ear-shaped diamond at the end OF
each of it's streamers, was fastened on hel
bodice. Her tulle veil was caught to hel

ried an ivory prayer-book, on which was
her monogram in gold.
Mrs. Culver. the brides sister, who was
her matron of honor, wore a gov Of
white satin. covered with point applique
lace. Her hat of white chiffon was alst
yelled with the lace, which made sof1
frills that fell in becoming lines over he
hair. 1t was trimmed with blush roses
massed together on the left side.
The bridesmaids wore Louis XIV. gown:
of Cluny lace over pink ~taffeta, witt
yokes and sleeves milne Sashes o
pink taffeta We're knotted around theil
waits. Their hats of Tuscan straw wer,
trimmed with pink roses and they car
