Mr.. Straub's home would be a proper
name for it and yet it would not give
n the faintest idea of the beauty of
the interior the day of the wedding.
A wedding perfect in every detail.
The floral decorations were very
handsome. The parlors were like
fairy grottoes. Overhead was fes-
TONED with smilax and asparagus
fern reaching to the chandeliers
which were covered with vines and
flowers also. They formed a canopy
beneath which were stately palms,
orange trees, ferns, etc.. and the back
ground was banked with roses, ferns,
hydrangas, chrysanthemums and car
nation, forming a real fairy bower.
EVERYWHERE one looked there were
flowers and foliage and beautiful,
broad white ribbon, yards and yards
of it, hung amidst them. The only col
ors being white and green, for it was
a white and green wedding. Going
upstairs one could imagine they were
going into another fairyland for there
was the smilax and white roses and
carnations covering the banisters and
sides of it. In the hall was a large
cut glass punch bowl. On another stand
were the boxes of wedding cake.
The upper rooms had received their
share of flowers too. and three tables
in one room were piled up with gifts
most elegant, solid s~ilverware rare
vases, a check for $500, cut glass, ell
