and tying in a large basket-bow

were bows of the pink ribbon. On
her head she wore bandeau Of
pale pink roses and forget-me-notS,
and carried a bouquet Of pink
roses.

PrOfuSiOn of Flowers
Here, surrounded by potted
palms and ferns serving as a back
ground for the tall standards
of white blossoms, the guests
paused cheerily to greet and we'll
wish the young bridal couple.

fully laden buffet luncheon tables,
all decorated with white gladioli,
lilies, larkspur and baby's breath.
