dena mansion of Adolphus Busch, the
st. Louis multi-milllonaire.
1t Is not the handsome house, nor
the acres and acres of sloping lawns
and sunken gardens, nor the good
natured host that are the most IN
teresting features, though any one Oh
them would be well worth going Tar
to see. 1t is the charming young
daughter of the household, who to-
morrow evening will become a bride.
1t was In this beautiful home That
saw Wilhelmina Busch yesterday
and learned the details Of the we'd
ding ceremony which will make her
the wife of Lieutenant EDWARD
Scharrer
I called at "Ivy Wall last evening
shortly after o'clock Mr.. Busch
was out in the gardens and ms oaugn-
ter had not returned from the Dress
makers. Mrs. Busch told me, as she
extended greetings in the hearty Ger
man way
Come into the garden; we may
meet him and perhaps you Will enjoy
seeing the flowers" she said.
Gardens Are Magnificent
The Busch house stands on hill
fronting Orange Grove, avenue. AT
me side is the high wall Of English
wv from which the place takes 1ts
name, and in front there IS doIs
sIoping lawn. This much OF Ivy
Wall" the outside world sees by uTlN-
ing down Orange Grove avenue, but
THE much Is little better than a be-
It is at the back of the house that
Adolphus Busch and his corps OF
skilled gardeners have worked such
wonders for where once there were
barren hillsides there are now Sixty
acres of the most beautitul green
lawns, sunken gardens of poisoning
nIants and shrubs and green houses
filled with the rarest flowers the gar
dens Of the world can contribute.
Through this place, which Is the de-
light of Mr.. Busch's life, l wandered
while 1 waited for Miss Wilhelmlna
to return.
Mr.. Busch was giving. some dlrec-
tions as to finishing touches to par
ticularly beautiful little garden when
I came upon him, and we walked
hack to the house just in time to meet
the prospective bride and bridegroom
as they were leaving the automobile
Bride to BE Is Very Happy
Miss Busch had been riding against
+ba wind and her face was flushed ana
hair blown as If she had been enjoying
herself with the utter abandon or
happy care-free girl.
She removed her hat and the auto
mobile veil which usually hldes her
face when she Is out, and sat down "
rest.
81 have Just been at the dressmakers
having some clothes fitted and you
can imagine that l am little Dill
tired" she said as she gave sigh Oh
relief at being home again.
at am really not getting very many
clothes as 1 am going to New YORK
and then to Europe, so l Will reserve
most of my shopping until later pu'
everything takes time"
MIR. Busch came up at that moment
and asked If his little girl had not
better spend most of the evening try
ing to sleep, and 1.-The little girl
FASTENED to assure him that she never
felt better in her life.
1--WE can't afford to have her get
sick so near her wedding day, that's
one sure thing" said he, and the lieu
tenant, who had UP to this time been
a silent observer. evidently thought SO
too, for he disappeared and soon re-
turned with a Jacket which he insisted
she put on.
Has Most Devoted Father
"I suppose you want to hear all
about the wedding" she said. well,
it is to be very simple affair, with
only sixty of my most intimate friends
present. Everything is going to be BE-,
white that can be white and there Will
be lots of music, for that is what l
love-
From the conservatory where two
men were arranging tables someone
lame in to ask what shade lights
should be used and the bride-to-be ran
away for a, minute to give some dl-
rections.
In that minute I learned that Mr..
Scharrer is not the only one whose
heart is completely in Miss Busch's
keeping, for her father is her most de-
voted slave, and it is little wonder
he was in no hurry to relinquish his
claim to the dashing young lieutenant
of the German army
Miss Busch is most fascinating
young person. she has soft blue eyes
that almost convince one they are
gray at times, and a wealth of brown
hair which waves back from her fore
head and is piled high on the top of
her head. She has a sweet smile for
everyone and a simple, gracious man
ner which makes her loved by all

Her father had just finished telling
how much he Will miss her when she
returned, the question of red lights or

and in the next breath she answered
herself. 20 yes. / remember, it was
about the wedding.

Church of the Angels in GarvanZa. 1t

and beautiful there that 1t makes one
