ing of friends. Rev. Alexander hackay-
Smith officiated. Tine bride enteseu with
her brother, Mr.. Chamberlin, by whom
she was given in marriage.
She is tall and slender brunette, and
looked radiant in u gown of cream white
satin and the tulle veil which her
mother wore as bride. Her bouquet
was OF white tulips and maidenhair fern.
There were no bridesmaids, but Miss Mar
jory Bouve, of Winchester, Mass, was the

dainty gown was of blue crepe. with which
she wore black hat and carried pink
tulips and fern.

Washington; DR.. Walter Ralph Steiner
OF Hartford; DR.. Thomas Brown. of Bal
timo~e. and Lieut.. W. V. Edmondson

decorated with hundreds and hundreds OF
where. A great white cluster on the vine
sprayed wall back OF the pulpit; bouquets
on every other pew; garlands of them
twined with southern smilaX about the
great pillars, and frieze OF them all
around the walls.
And not a single white rose, Even the
conventional Bride rose bouquet was con
spicuous for its absence. Miss Hay hav-
ing elected to carry an English court
shower Of real orange blossoms and white
orchids.
After the ceremony the florists, at the
request of the bride. dismantled the
church and distributed the lilies among
the hospitals of the city. A very thought
full and gracious thing for Miss Hay to
have done. Anyone with talent can write
a poem, but to be able to act like one
requires what one might call spiritual
genius for want of more definite name.
1t was generally noticed that Miss Alice
Hay looked sad almost to teariulness as
she passed out of the church. her face
was so eloquent with emotion.
The general interest in little Dorothy
Whitney was second only to that centred
in the bride. Washington still remembers
her mother very tenderly, and everyone
at the church had pretty things to say
about her daughter.
Incidentally, she made at least one
prominent woman at the wedding feel
what she called her years"

HANGING LAKE, COLORADO.
Beautiful Body of Water Up in the
Rocky Mountains.

Hanging Lake is generally known as
Dead Horse Lake, a name as inappro-
pirate as it is possible to imagine. for the
reason that no kind of a horse could pos
sibly get up into the lake. This lake Is
situated about one mile from the canon
known as Dead Horse Canon. which is op-
posite Shoshone station, on the Denver
and Rio Grande Railroad, eleven niles
from Glenwood Springs.
1t is one OF the most beautiful lakes the
mind can conceive Of. The water is az
clear as the most perfect crystal. The
minutest object lying on the bottom OF tho
lake can be seen as we'll as an object
floating on the surface. The depth Is
from two to probably 100 feet. This lake
hangs in the corner of two perpendicular
walls of rock which seem to tower 1000
or more feet above it. The outer wall of
the lake from one cliff to the other is cir
cular in general form, with a zigzag edge
from three inches to six IN width, formed
by the vegetation which has grown there
and then become petrified by the water
of the lake running over it. From the ap-
pearance of the wall 1t is growing and
confininS more water within its enclosure.
There are trees lying in the lake that
are covered with lime. showing every
limb, knot or indenture, matter how
small or great the indenture may be-
There is no sign of animal life in the lake
or anywhere around it. 1t is very doubt
full whether it freezes over in the winter.
for it is fed from an immense spring
gushing out of the rocks several hundred
feet above it. Underneath the lake are
several caves that are some twenty feet
long and ten feet wide and high enough
for a man to walk upright in. But you
will certainly receive a free shower bath
before you climb over the rocks and get
into where it is dry.
From the mouth OF the canon to the
lake are some wonderful things. There
are parts of petrifed trees, broken stalac-
tites of various sizes which haye lain
there unmolested for centuries, perhaps.
There are skeletons of buffalo that have
perished or that have been driver over
the high cliffs in the midst OF q terrible
snowstorm long years ago, lunches OF
leaves that have gathered themselves to-
gether by rock or brush lying in ths
little stream of lime water and have
themselves become rock. and the size and
form are as perfect as the leaves that
grew on the trees the past summer
Glenwood Advance.

and before the story was well on its
round, il was stated that not only the
florists of Washington. but those Of New
York and other cities. would be taxed to
supply the quantity required by the bride
for the decoration OF the church.
The social air was fragrant with the
perfume OF these bridal blossoms, and
one paper even csptioEed its cut OF Miss
Hay as The Lady of the White Rose"
1t was so distinctly meant to be a poeti-
cal tribute to the young lady that its
readers probably forgave its being trife
vague.
