entered the parlor which resembled a
miniature chapel. The bride and

beautiful white flowers inter1aced with

was used, and the words seemed more
impressive from the fact that the Off

lace over white satin, and wore beau-
tifnl point lace veil that her two Sis
tiers had worn when they were married,

daughters of the house must wear this
bridal veil. She carried bouquet of
orchids and lilies of the valley.

beauties. The four nieces of the
bride, who attended her, the Misses

per was served by Srnily, of Chicago.

sat at table in the dining room pro-
fusely decorated with orchids and lilies

wedding being private owing to the
recent death of the brides father.

lin orchestra, of Chicago, played de-
