The decorations Of the lower floor and

the parlor floor the doorways have cur
tains of asparagus tied back with clus-
ters of lilies.
The most elaborate floral decoration Is
in place in the drawing room and the al
cove adjoining on the south, where sc
many small, fine pictures are hung. The
mantelpiece and the mirror over the high
shelf are framed in lattice work of rib
quantities of rosebuds and foliage. The
windows either side Of the fireplace are
draped with asparagus tied back with
bouquets of lilies, and the picture is fur
each side. The heavy beam across the
ceiling which divides the two rooms is
lightly yelled with asparagus and hung
with garlands of pink roses.
These garlands reach over and are en-
twined about the two supporting white
columns. which are topped off with clus-
ter of lilies. From the large drawing
room this characterization of the division
between the rooms makes lovely frame
for the wedding bower. The couple are
to stand in front of the mantel for the
ceremony and their attendants will al
most fill the entire alcove space.
White ribbons are extended across the
hall to the staircase and indicate the
aisle through which the bride and her
