On May the Sth at noon, Miss Louise

came the bride of Nladimer Ledochow-
ski. of Poland. The wedding ceremony
was performed in the Warfield town
home on Linden Avenue, Baltimore, by
Rev. w. A. Fletcher, rector of the Ca
thedral. Preceding the marriage Cardi-
nal Gibbons made the following classical
address on marriage:
The marriage contract, said the Car
dinal, is the most solemn and most sa-
cred of all contracts. Other contracts
may be dissolved. Other treaties NAV be
violated. The marriage contract cannot
be violated; cannot be annulled. 1t can
terminate only at death. The marriage
ceremony is also most sacred. We pray
that the Lord is with US today and will
be with you both throughout your lives
to bless you, to cheer you and 10 be your
unfailing guide. your unfailng friend.
You sir, addressing the Count, fully
appreciate the obligations you today as
sumo. This young lady, who is about to
become your bride, confdes in you. She
looks to you as her protector. Her low
ing, innocent confidence placed in you is
precious jewel 1t is your solemn duty
to see that this jewel shall not fade, but
shall grow brighter. This lovely woman
leaves a comfortable home, loving par
ents and friends to go with you to for
eign land. She goes as stranger to
strange land. 1t was my pleasure to be
the friend Of your great uncle, Cardinal
Ledochowski, of Poland. when he was
the Project Of the Propaganda. He was
my friend. He was true man and | es-
TEEN his memory highly. He incurred
the hostility of the Prussian government
and was imprisoned for two years be-
cause he was loyal and true to his con-
science. hope sir, you will be true to
the high civic spirit of your forefathers.
You, my dear addressing the bride).
are about 10 depart from the home of
your loving parents. May flowers strew
your pathway. May divine blessing rest
upon you Nav you be happy. May
your life be free of care, and if there are
troubles in your life, and trouble is our
heritage, may you meet it with stout
and noble heart, ever placing your trust
in God.
Remember what Ruth said to Naomi:
'Entreat me not to leave thee or to return
from following after thee; for whittier
thou goest | will go. and where thou
lodgest will lodge; thy people shall be
nv people. and thy God my Cod"
Upon the completion of the Cardinals
address Father Fletcher read the ritual,
to which the bride and groom responded
in turn. Count Ledochowskis responses
were in perfectly pronounced English.
After the ritual had been completed
Cardinal Gibbons pronounced bendic-
ton.
With the wedding ceremony over, then
came the congratulations. The Count
and Countess wandered through the spa
cious room and exchanged handclasps
with all. Even the servants of the War
field household were not forgotten.
A wedding breakfast was served. after
which the Count and Countess. accom-
panied by Mr.. F. Courtney Nicodemus
and Mr.. and Mrs. Hugh Harris. were
conveyed in an automobile to Union Sta
ton, whence they departed at l. 80 o'clock
for New York. They sailed for Bremen

lex Wilhelm From Bremen they will
