 The Cremony was conducted b. th Rispop of Lcnd0H. who was assisted 5y several other well kuswn prsiatas. iThe bishop took his stand to the right Of the hart-p1s, and was followci al. most immediately by the bri 'esrooIr and his supporters. the yOuthn.i Prince of Wales. and his cousin, the Duke oi i Saxe-Coburg-GCtha The bridegrood twas attired in the uniform Of his reg

 tained, so that the young Duchess seemed much affected by the warmth
 of the popular greeting. At the en- trance to the chapel her roy al High

 King then gave her hand to Prince ! Arthur who. bending his head, took the hand in his own and just brushed | the finger tips with his lips.
 Immediately afterwards the voice
 of the officiating clergyman broke the whispers of silk and satin dresses with
 the opening words of the maria ge
 service. Prince Arthur spoke the re- ' ] sponses in a loud and firm voice The , bride was almost inaudibIe, and one could not fail 10 notice that as the
 bishop solemnly spoke of marriage as i"not ny any to be entered upon TOT to be taken in hand unadvisedly, lightly, or wantonly," tears were plainly visi-
 ble in her large eyes
 The benediction having been pro. nounced, the bride and bridegroom g
