PRINCESS

LASCELLES
Vast Crowds Voice Tu
multuous Cheers as Alb
bey Chimes Ring News

London, Feb. 28.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press s.)-Princess Mary, only
daughter of King George and Queen
Mary, was married today to Wis
count Lascelles, with all the pomp
and dignity befitting royal we'd
ding.
The ceremony began in Westmin-
ster Abbey at 1850 O'Clock and
soon thereafter the couple was
pronounced man and wife, while
the chimes of Westminster rang
out the message and vast crowds
gave tumultuous greetings.
The scene of the ceremony with
in the historic abbey was one of i'm
pressive grandeur, with the king
and queen and the royal house
hold participating and with all
ranks represented in the brilliant
assemblage, while outside the abbey
enthusiastic popular homage was
given the bridal pair.
London was crowded with excur-
sionists from all parts of the Isles
and the continent. Americans also
we're in evidence, hundreds having
made the voyage to gain glimpse
OF the state function. All these,
augmented by native Londoners,
crowded into every niche and space
about Buckingham Palace along the
Mall, in Trafalgar Square, down
Whitehall and in the precincts of
the parliament buildings, and the
abbey. Many paid high prices for
seats in stands or even standing
room in windows f1anking the way.
VehicuIar traffic was diverted from
the streets between the palace and
the abbey by a force of 5000 blue
coated and white gloved police who
lined the royal way, crowding
watchers back to the curbings.
Procession of Beauty.
Only motors and carriages bear
ing ticket-holders were permitted
to pass. The conveyances put down
at the abbey doors streams of gor-
geously gowned women. Their
escorts were resplendent in SER
vice dress or the velvet breecheS,
white silk stockings and three-cor-
nered hats of court regalia- 1t was
