Flowers for the Bride.

When the Duke and Duchess Of Rox-
burghe returned from st. Thomas Church,
New York city. yesterday to the home
of Mrs. Ogden Goelet they walked
over a pathway covered with the petals
OF American Beauty roses. The avn
ing from the curb to the door was
literally bower of green vines, with the
carpet strip hidden under the rose leaves.
This was the first evidence of the artistic
beauty of a floral decoration which in it's
entire effect has never been surpassed In
this country. American Beauty roses,
orchids in most delicate and rare coloring
and chrysanthemums the three queens OF
the flower world at the moment mingled in
the picture in which each room of the main
floor suite was transformed In the en-
trance hall the mantel of the tall fireplace
was banked with American beauties great
clusters of them falling over 1t like a fringe.
The broad staircase was hedged with roses
and vines up to the second floor where the
rose garden effect was continued across the
hall.
The newly welded couple received In the
first drawing room. Back Of where they
stood from the ceiling to the floor fell a
delicate drapery of asparagus vine and
orchids. On either side were enormous gold
standards. In which dozens of wax tapers
burned. The feathery vine reached down to
these lights and softened their intensity. In
the next drawing room was wealth of
white chrySanthemumS. The third room was
a poem in mauve chrysanthemums, with a
wonderfully beautiful study in yellow or
chds and American Beauty roses about the
mantel. In the dining room only Bride roses
were used. The mantel was banked with
the center of the table filled with roses and
farlayense fern. The entire decoration was
designed and executed by j. II. Small &
Sons of this city and New York.
