Shasta daisies cleaned out in all their
white and gold purity. An arch of
greenery was erected for the bridal
party and above it hung an exquisite
wedding bell made of five-fnger and
maidenhair ferns and white sweet
peas. Electric lights were used,
heightening the radiant effect.
At the house, reception room and
hall and the living room and dining
rooms were garlanded with lacey
pepper leaves, while Shasta daisies
white Canterbury bells, white sweet
peas and airy masses of wild parsnip
bloom mingled with woOdwardias,
huckleberry and other greenery in
June garden profusion.

ribbon roses. The yoke was over sill
yer tissue and the short sleeves were
