a big picture hat, and shower bouquet
of lilies of the valley completed the
toilette. The bridesmaid wore appliqued
green silk and a picture hat of white and
green and carried shower bouquet of
Cecil Bruner roses. The little flower girls
were in fluffy white dresses and carried
baskets of white carnations. Master Cole
was also in white and carried the ring on
a tiny silver tray.

while overhead festoons of asparagus

shaded with great balls of fluffy pink
tulle. The same decorative scheme was
employed in both the dining room and

dainty overhead arrangement. A rustic
pergola of bamboo ferns and white carna-
tions was erected at the front of the
room, and in this dainty bower the SER

a long ribbon aisle, the groom and his

the pergola. The little flower girls led
the way, and with the bridesmaid and
best man waited just outside the gates,
while DR.. Bovard, the bride and groom

both for the marriage and the reception
that followed. Refreshments were served
in the Dutch room. The popularity of
the young people was evidenced by the
number and beauty of the presents, among
them being quantities of cut glass, many
beautiful pieces from the brides class
mates at U. d. G. The bridesmaids gift
to her sister was a diner set of over 160
pieces the painting and firing being her
