 Ward-Other Notes.

 tails for the approaching marriage of Miss Jean Reid, the daughter of the American ambassador, to MT. John Ward have been made to conform to the eX- tremely small size of the edifce in which the ceremony will be performed
 It will take place in the Royal chapel, and very few people can be accommodate ed in that tiny place of worship. The only compensation lies in the fact that his majesty, King Edward, desired that the wedding take place there. The large reception immediately following the cere- mony will be held at Dorcester house, which was so recently the scene of a brilliant ball in honor of Miss Reid
 With the exception of the maid of honor, Miss Jennie Crocker, only chil- dren will be in attendance London correspondent gives the following details:
 Small boys and girls who have been selected for this are Lord and Lady Dud' ley's little boy and girl the Hon. Rod erick Ward, Lord and Lady Wolyerton's 8 little ones of similar age, the Hon. Ma rion Glyn and the Hon. Nigel Glyn, all of whom are nephews and nieces of the bridegroom Miss Audrey James, who is the youngest daughter O. MT. and Mrs. Willie James, and Master Robert Shaw, the little son of Mrs. w W. Astor by her first marriage
 The maid of honor will wear dainty dress of soft white muslin worn with a pale blue sash and large flower trimmed hat The same scheme of color will be adhered to for the froclks of the little girls wreaths taking the place of hats, while the little boys will wear blue velvet coats and white knickerbockers.
 "The dress of the bride, one of those French creations which, while sounding very simple in description, bears in every line cachet impossible to mistake, is If softest satin in delicate ivory shade. It is draped on the corsage with old rose point lace which belonged to Miss Jean Reid's grandmother. It Is so arranged ss to fall in a full drapery over the skirt, and is matched by a long veil of. rose point which will fall from a wreath Of orange blossoms. The lace of the dress ia caught at intervals by little bouquets of tiny white roses and orange blos- soms both on the skirt and corsage. The iong satin court train Is being bordered all round by trails of the same two flowers
