The fabric ushed was a rich, luminous mes saline and the embroidery was of rich est character. The bodice, front panel and the train were embroidered in an orchid design effected in heavy rope silk. The sprays of orchid blossoms and leaves also passed over the hips thus making the costume covered almost entirely with the design. The embroidery was the low ing task and gift of a lifelong friend of Judge and Mrs. Gaston-Mrs. Maud Wynn of this city. The only other trim ming on the wedding gown was on the sleeves and about the Dutch neck, which was in characteristic style, showing to advantage the regal boise of her fair young head. Princess lace and duchess lace were combined on the eorsage and hung in a graceful cascade on the left side, while the sleeves were very short and fashioned daintily of the two laces. Her figure was enveloped in a misty bridal veil which hung in simple lines from its confines in her coiffure, caught there with spray of lilies of the val ley. She carried a superb shower of white orchids and valley lilies.

The rooms thrown open to the guests were decor ated with pink roses. In the drawing room, however, white blossoms with smi- lax and ferns made a pretty setting for the bride and her attendants. The brides table room was exquisite with it's cover of Mexican drawn work and embroideries. The centerpiece was a huge basket of bride roses and lilies, while above hung a colud of white tule caught in loops to the chandelier. Some pretty toasts were drunk to the bride and groom in wine of old vintage. It was brewed by the hands of Mrs. Gaston's mother in the year 1865. On the first birthday of the bride of last evening and her twin brother, Dr. Cecil Gaston 1t was put away, to be opened on the occasion of the first marriage in the family. Dr. Lorenzo Luckie was toastmaster. Another pretty feature of the occasion was the drinking from a silver loving cup of the bride and groom. A salad and ice course were served to the guests, the heart de- sign prevailing in the ices, with roses and lilies of the valley embossing the cakes
 Instead of the time honored custom of concealing the ring, thimble and dime in the brides cake, it was hidden away in the brides bouquet which she tossed from the stairs head when she left the assembled company to dress for travelling.
