assembled for the wedding of the
youngest daughter of the household
solemniZed in surroundings both novel
as well as picturesque.
Despite the wealth of bloom of roses
and garden flowers, hundreds of apple
blossoms were shipped for the floral
decorations to carry out the wish of
the bride.
To her it was to be a dream fulfilled,
the realization of long cherished hopes.
a girlhood ideal immortalized, this
apple blossom wedding"
In days when she romped and played
at the Lascelles school in the east,
when she dabbled in colors and designs
at the art school, before the coming
of Prince Charming, this fair young
bride had wished for wedding when
the orchards were ablaze with the
pinkish-white blossoms of the apple.
So when an unpropitious fate ruled
against a wedding in May. she still
planned to carry out her wedding ac-
cording to her girlhood ideal, and so
to this end the gowns were designed
of an exquisite pinkish white tint, and
the great tent where the wedding sup
per was served encircled an apple tree
in full bloom, and all around and above
the bride myriads of blossoms shed
their fragrance.
The ceremony took place on an inn
provised platform facing a weeping
willow tree on the banks Of the lake.
Towering palms and tall vases of pink
lilies formed a semicircle around this
leafy altar, and away down on the
bank, concealed in the bushes, the
choir boys sang the "Lohengrn"
bridal chorus. The bride. with her
father, approached the altar through an
Italian pergola. Her gown of heavy
white satin was fashioned on the lines
of a Lucille model, with pointed bodice
of satin and full skirt of f1lmy tulle.
Completely enveloping the figure was
veil of tulle, edged in broad bands Of
satin appliqued in orange blossoms.
Her wedding flowers were a shower of
lilies of the valley. There were three
matrons of honor and three maids all
wearing French model dresses, FASH
ioned out of the soft apple blossom
shades. and carrying armfuls OF pink
lilies.
Twenty-Five guests were seated at
the bridal table, centered in a pond Of
pink lilies. over which an electric foun
