setting for the wedding scene, and to
further conform with the outdoor idea,
everyone was in outing attire.

in an outing costume of dainty pink
linen, fashioned along tailored lines,
and carried a beautiful bouquet of
pink sweet peas and lilies-of-the-val-
ley.

ding, that proved great pleasure to
the guests, was the serving of dainty
luncheon in individual picnic baskets.
