while the ends of the pews were
tufted with evergreens and bunch
es of hydrangea. From amid the
palms at the right of the altar there
issued strains of sweet music from
piano, rendered by Maria Dick

assisted by MISS Emily V. Great
head, which lent charm to the
scene and added much to the en-
josment of the guests.

in performance similar to the one
on this occasion, and she was
gowned IN her own wedding dress
of silk muslin. The bridesmaids
