We're married yesterday in the presence
of their relatives. Because the bride de-
sired to preserve the quiet spirit of the
Lenten season there was no wedding
music as she passed up the aisle of the
Cathedral of st. John the Divine. New
York. Her bridal attire was, however,
quite a contrast as her dress of white
satin, made with court train, was trim
med with lace said to have been insured
for $4,000 The train was more than
four yards in length, and, as the bride
had no attendants, it was carried by a
maid dressed in black until the bride
reached the main aisle. Then. amid the
gasps Of the feminine onlookers, it was
left to train freely after the bride up the
long aisle to the chancel
The conventional bouquet was lacking,
and it's absence enabled the bride to use
her arms and hands to signal her ap-
proach to the altar, where the bride
groom and clergyman awaited her. 1t
also gave her a carefree appearance
when, with veil thrown back, she left
the altar. smiling at her relatives in
the choir seats and chatting gayly with
her husband.
The couple will sail tomorrow. and the
brides regal dress will likely be seen
next at a Berlin court.
