In the midst of a storm playing a
wild accompaniment to the softer
strains of the organ, Miss Sara Rob
ertson and Mr.. James Dougherty were
welded last evening at o'clock in ST.
Andrews Cathedral in the presence
only of relatives. An hour later the
young couple received the congratula-
tons of their friends at 1.-THE Palms"

Cathedral entrance, the flood-gates of
the skies seemed to have opened wide,

and groom and their attendants enter

to the chancel where the Rev. Alexan-
der Macintosh awaited the young
couple. Following came the flower
girls, the little Misses Sybil and Grace
Robertson. Behind them walked the
maid of honor, Miss Edna Shattuck, of
Boston, stately and dignified, and then
the bride, a picture of youthful love-
Illness, leaning upon the arm of her
father. At the foot of the chancel the
bride was met by her future husband
and his attendant best man, Mr.. Nell
son Lansing.

Episcopal service of marriage: Only
the relatives of the young couple were
present at the ceremony. To the strains
of the wedding march the happy young
people made their exit from the cathe-
dral, and were driven to the residence
of the brides parents where most
elaborate preparations had been made
for the reception.
