of the most brilliant gatherings of the
season, when in the presence Of about

Miss Solano had chosen white ano
green as the color scheme for her we'd
ding, and the stately interior of the So

fusion of ascencion lilies and othei
white blossoms and palms, all of which

back parlor, library and hall in the
great jardeniers and baskets that had
place on tables and tall tabouretS. In
the front parlor, where the ceremony
took place, all decoration was confined
to the south side of the room, and here.
to the right and the left of the tall
mirror that extends from the floor TO
the ceiling, were banked the pale pur-
pie blossoms of Scotch heather, stately
palms and clustered ascencion lilies. A
kneeling stool had been arranged Few
feet from the mirror, and here the
young people received benedictioh after
the Interchange of vows, the pretty
ceremonial being duplicated in the clear
DEPTHS of the mirror beyond. Delicate
watsonia graced the library, lilies the
back parlor and snowballs and syrln-
gae were used in the hall, where
thicket of lilies concealed the baius-
trade of the long stairway.

sic throughout the evening, and the IA
miliar strains of the Bridal chorus
from "Lohengrin" announced the ap-
proach of the bride and her attendants.
