lace maiden hair aud palms formed |
q pretty background for the wedding |
bells of white tulle which. suspended /
boy gracefully knotted ribbons of hlmy |
white ule, and soft white satin, |
dropped from hanging baskets over |
grown with maidenhair and asparagus |
fern. This grotto and remainder of |
the decorating of the home had been |
placed under the skilled supervision Of /
Miss Helen Alexander and Mrs. Arthur |
Wall, who with several other friends |
of the bride had spared no pains to
gain the desired effect
Promptly at the appointed hour the |
! approach of the young bride was an |
nounced by a chorus of male voices, |
issuing from a bower of palms on the |
balcony landing of the stairs, singing
in soft and thrilling harmony strains
of Lohengrin's wedding march.
Down the floral and palm embank-
ment of the stairs there passed the
two small ribbon bearers, in the per-
sons of Sybil Hooking, the baby sister
of the bride, and little Margaret Wall,
both dressed in hand embroidered
white silk null falling softly over
pale pink taffeta, and carrying white
satin wands, crowned with white tulle
and sweet white baby jassamine buds,
to which the ribbons were attached.
In their wake followed Genevieve
Hooking, the flower bearer, dressed in
a CONNECTION of white gauze embroider-
ed in pink and falling over a drop of
soft pink silk. She carried a large
quantity fashioned basket brimful of
pink baby roses, which fell over the
sides in graceful little clusters, and
interspered with sprays of white jassa-
mine. The handle of the basket was
concealed with soft crush bows of
pink satin and the knotted streamers
dropped down the sides among the
roses.
Next followed the brides sister,
Miss Florence Hoffman, as maid of
honor, deliberately gowned in a crea-
ton of palest pink Ninon de Sole, over
drop of pink satin, gown purchased
and designed in the Orient, made tunic
effect and heavily embroidered in silver
motifs. She carried a large shower
bouquet of bridesmaid roses, which
true to it's name, fell in ripping cas-
cades of palest pink blossoms down
along the graceful strands of knotted
satin ribbon and reaching to the hem
of her exquisite gown.
In the train of this attactive girl APP
peared at length, the sweet young
| bride leaning, on the arm of her faith
err, Mr. Hooking. Her gown, selected
? from the choice of the shops select of

2 modistes, can be imagined better than
: described. 1t was of very heavily
: embroidered Chinese white silk crepe,
made with long court train and
l clinging to her figure as she descended
f the stairs. Her long fine white tulle

= hair by a wreath of orange blossoms
S and her bridal shower bouquet was of

pure white blossoms with pink-tipped
t petals which are so daintily pretty
n for bride to carry on her way to the

& satin, filpy white tulle and chiffon.
