Twenty-Five years from the day when
her father and mother were united in
marriage, Anna Louise Wey became
the bride of Vaughn A Paul. The GER
emOny which united the two young
people was a most impressive one, and

of the entrance the huge fireplace was
also banked with the asters, and the
mantel was a mass of the flowers and
ferns. In the stairway to one side
stood vases of the flowers, and the
white tulle and flowers were used in
! the adjoining alcove. In the dining
room at the opposite end a round table
was arranged with a central decoration
of huge cut glass bowl of brides
