impromptu altar.
The four bridesmaids following the lit
tie girls. were robed in pure white, with
soldier sashes of soft silk In the t-Golors,
and they also carried Red Cross rlags In
stead Of the usual bouquets, and these
were crossed for the bride to pass under
as the maids paused at stated distances
apart to hold the ribbons in place.
The first two stopped Just inside the
drawing-room door and stood, sentinel
like. at either side OF 1t. the two others
proceeding TO the center Of the room.
The ceremony took place within the
high folding doors separating the double
p~arlors. and under a great American
shield ianked by groups Of army and
navy hags and the United States coat
of arms.
The bonbon boxes took the form Of
Uncle Sam hats, and tiny silk flags with
the names lettered in gold figured as
place cards. Ices and all the other de-
tails OF the table service breathed the
sentiment of a military wedding.
AS the guests filed out OF the room a
