+, was used.
The decorations of the house were
simple but effective. Ferns, palms,
smilax, roses, chrysanthemums, and
carnations were used The mantel in
front of which the bride and groom
stood was all in white and green. The
dining room, where refreshments were
served after the congratulations were
over, was bright with different colored
flowers. The chandelier was draped
with festoons of ferns which dropped to
a handsome bouquet of roses on the
table Smilax was employed in charm
ing profusion elsewhere, along the stair
case, from the pictures on the walls and
among the lace curtains at the
windows.
The bride wore a gown of simple
white French lawn, made demi.train,
with trimmings of the same material.

conventional style.
Following the ceremony congratula-
tions and best wishes were extended for
some time when the party was served
with refreshments in the dining room,
