luxuriant ferns and other pot plants,
Chrysanthemums and autumn leaves.

provised alcove, formed by an arch
of white papier mache gracefully
twined with long strands of laurel.
Just back of this arch was portierre

of which were deftly pinioned with
two large entwined hearts covered
with white chrysanthemums, which
suspended directly over the heads
of the contracting parties. A mound
of autumn leaves, interspersed with
ferns, formed a strikingly beautiful
background, which was resplendant
in the soft prismatic glow of minia-
ture candles. Mendelssohn's we'd
ding march was rendered with ex-
quisite delicacy and pathos by Miss
Pearl Ballenger, and to its dulcet
strains the bridal party entered in
the following order: First came Miss
