white flowers in their hair and
as they walked to the strains of
the bridal march, they Strewed
roses in the path of the bride
and bridegroom who came i'm
mediately behind them.
The bride wore a white satin
gown of rare beauty, which was
smarkable for its simplicity.
Cut on princess lines, it was fin
ished with long tight-fitting
sleeves and a V-neck. Her long
panel train, which fell from the
waistline, was partly covered
with her veil, which was OF sheer
white georgette, becomingly ar

bavardia. She carried fragrant
bouquet of white orchids snow
cred with lilies of the valley.

Eva Marie Luther, the brides
sister, and Lisa Lolita Wandge'

chine dresses with wreaths OF
flowers in their hair; and after
them came the five bridesmaids
and five ushers, walking arm-ln-
