springtime loveliness, a fit setting
for the scene indoors, which was
one of rare and fragrant beauty.
The bridal party stood in the
drawingroom, llie place of cer
emony being the window embra

background of green studded with
Easter liliep. Overhead bung a
massive floral wedding bell of car

white satin ribbons running from
the corners of the room. The
