Mendelssohn Wedding March to the
strains of which the bridal couple
came slowly down the stairs and took
their place in large window which
was specially decorated for the occasion,
where they were met by DR.. D. T.
Robertson who pronounced the words
which made the couple one, the simple
ring ceremony being used. Little Miss
Catherine Patterson, dressed in white,
preceded the bridal couple, scattering
white rose petals in their path.
The bride was becomingly attired in
simple gown of white satin and wore
dainty white veil. Her bridal bouquet
was composed of white sweet peas and
lilies-of -the-valley.
After the ceremony and the custo.

dainty refreshments were served to the
