TO the rear of the stair Thayer's

marred by decoration save in the
drawing room, where the ceremony oc-
Cured, and here graceful adornment
of white tulle was noted. In one cor

riage vows were taken, large onyx
and gold table holding the wine filled
receptacle used in the ceremony, while
to either side stood marble pedestals,
each accommodating an immense crys-
tai vase, tied with tulle and filled with
Easter lilies. The crystal pendants
of the handsome electrolier cleaned
as the light fell upon them, the soft
tilmy tulle establishment accentuat-
ing the bridal theme and adding to the
general happy decorative results.
