 The drawing room, where the ceremony took place, was deliberately decorated in southern smilax and palms. The walls were covered with smilax, which, arching the doorways, formed a transparent back ground through which gittered the can dies and shaded lights here and there. The mantel had it's base banked with gorgeous palms and the tropical effect was intensified by the entire absence of any flowers. Throughout the house the smilax was used to elaborate effect, the dining room in which the buffet break fast was served combining white and yellow chrysanthemums against the back ground of green.
