most profuse1y decorated with roses
and ferns, pink and white predomis
mating. The bride descended the
stairs accompanied by her father
who gave her into the groom's keep
ing and preceded by two pretty lit
tie nieces in dainty frocks Of white,
Aivilla Stearns carrying a great
cluster of white roses and her tiny,
three-year-old cousin, Elizabeth,
who scattered white rose petals in
