WEDDING ARRANGEMENTS.
According to the published plans of
the wedding it was at first proposed
to have a reception in the Blue Room
after the wedding while some eight
hundred invitations for the wedding
itself were issued. AS many of these
were double cards the wedding guests
would number about a thousand, as
the number of persons who can be ac-
commodated i'm the parlOrs and corri-
doris is not more than 1000, it is plain
that only a portion of these guests
would be able to see the actual cere-
mony which took place in the East
Room at high noon.

finally the number of invitations issued
I increased by degrees to 400. OF course

ces attend.
