saqpipe Music at Wedding.

There was bagpipe playing at the
wedding Of Roswell Miller and Miss
Margaret Carnegie In New York the
other day. The Highland airs might
have seemed out Of place at the mar
riage Of most American girls. but In
the Carnegie home nothing could have
been more appropriate.
The brides father Is a true son Of
the Highlands. his birthplace and home
OF his childhood. After having made
his fortune In the American steel In
dustry he returned to Scotland and
bought the beautiful estate of Skibo
castle. There the Carnegie family
spent their summers fr<m the earliest
recollection OF Andrew Carnegie's only
child. the bride of few days ago.
Guests at the wedding were impressed
by the wedding march played on the
great organ In the Carnegie mansion
OF Fifth avenue, and there was fine
orchestra which also played. but to
the old Scotsman and perhaps to the
bride. neither approached the music of
the pipers from Skibo castle. an ex-
