by far the decorations ordinarily seen
at home weddings. The parlor bay
window, in which the marriage ser

hydrangeas. Large ropes of laurel,
fastened at the centre of the ceiling

corners of the room. and the double
doorway was converted into an arch
of laurel, studded with hydrangeas.

the corners from. the ceiling to the

bouquets of cut flowers the effect was
particularly pretty.
