Few weddings of such elaborate ar
poinment and such perfection of de,
tail have been characterized by hos
pitality so cordial as to create at an
entertainment so conventionally or
nate an atmosphere of such warm
hearted informality as that which gave
this charming function its peculiar
charm.
The house was artistically decorated
with flowers, a color scheme of green
and white being consistently carried
out everywhere, giving a bridal effect,
and from the curb to the entrance hall
| the approach was enclosed in canvas,
making a wide passage for the many
guests who gathered to witness this
marriage. Palms and eXotics were
grouped about the entrance and the
canvas-enclosed porches where refresh

frieze was outlined with asparagus
fern and great bows of white tulle
were fastened at the electroliers. The

transformed into a leafy chapel. Here
an altar was improvised, illuminated
with white waxen tapers and banked
with white chrysanthemums. White
satin cushions and white satin ribbon
barriers marked the place of cere'

dotted with white rose buds, was car
ried across the upper portion of the
arched doorways which fed into the
library and dining-room, where the
table was laid for the bridal party
only. Here white brides roses and
ferns with white tuIle, satin ribbons
and dainty accessories made a charm
