A curtain Of green draped the window
before which the altar was arranged.
Sprays of smilax were festooned with
charming effect at the top. From a

of smilax were draped gracefully to
each side Of the window. From the

June roses, spilling gracefully over the
side. Fern covered pedestals forming
the sides of the altar were topped with
June roses. Potted ferns and flowers
were banked on all sides. Beautiful
