n The handsome, spacious house, aloof
from the street in its setting of smooth
lawns presented within the artistic
picture of a bridal fete, for everywhere
against the softest April green of fra
gile ferns, the splendid chalices of
Easter lilies poured their perfume to
mingle with the fragrance of innumer-

The drawing room. converted into a
bridal chapel, the library opening spa

attended the reception from $50 until

wedding cortege advanced from library
to drawingroom was formed of white
pedestals, gracefully linked by smilax,

short sleeves, cluster of orange buds
at the waist and anpther little nose
gay OF the typical blossoms to catch
the lace cascade falling from an open
ing in the skirt about her satin-slip-
pered feet.
A chaplet OF orange blossoms bound
the bridal Illusion which framed her
