The central room was most beauti
fully arranged for the service. The
mantel held a pyramid of lighted pink
candles below which dropped festOons
of smilax above bark of green ferns
The bay window held the bridal arch
with it's wedding bell Of pink sweet
peas and white dwarf chrysanthe
NUNS suspended from above and the
surrounding cluster of green below
At the appointed hour, to the soft
music of Lohengrin's famous music
played by Miss Edith Walters, the
bridal party entered. Four girls, for
mer high school pupils of the bride,
Misses Agnes and Stella Wokersein,

ed the bridal aisle of white ribbons.

The bride looked most charming in
handsome gown of flimsy white
made in simple princess style. The
tunic drape being of silken marqui-
settle over cream white satin, trim
ming of opalescent beads were an at
tractive trimming and most handsome
indeed was the bertha of rose point
lace, a gift brought from Europe by
the brides sister. A bridal veil Of tulle
was held in place by cluster of white
sweat peas and the bride carried a
prayer book with tiny flower markers.
Miss Mabel as bridesmaid, carried
handsome boquet Of pink Killarney
roses and looked very pretty in a
gown of white net over pink silk. The
four girl attendants were dressed two
in pink and two in white and looked
as dainty as one could wish. Miss
Edith Walters was becomingly dressed
in a handsome chiffon of white over
green silk. The conventional black

nished the usual pleasing contrast to
the airy gowns.
