The bride, who Is a beautiful girl, and quite young, chose a nhort frock for her wedding gown. It was an exquisite af fair, the foundation being of cloth of silver, with a drape of lovely silver lace over the whole being- a full skirt sf Ate eZm erst eJ J7?e. "tfeer -JoT rer- Sort, of fine white net, of which the bottom was In deep scallops edged with sil ver. The little bodice was sleeveless, and was swathed with the silver laue. A filmy veil, also adorned with a con ventional design in silver, was worn simply and was banded with a tiny wreath of orange blossoms. The little silver slippers were also decked with tiny sprays of orange blossoms and her bouquet was a shower of gardenias and lilies of the valley afterwards captured by Miss Constance Piper. Miss Smith also wore a short frock, an artistic creation of pink and lav ender rnaline over pink satin. The Bkirt was a three-tier flounced affair, tho edges being outlined with opales cent sequins and the bodice was made on the quaint 1830 period, short and quite tight. She wore a large roaline hat of the pink tones, trimmed with a flat wreath of pink flowers. Her bouquet was a shower of Kiilarney roses and orchids. Little Priscilla House was adorable in a fiuffy frock of plaited white net, with short walet and pink girdle. A wreath of Cecile Bruner roses decked her curls and she carried a basket of the same sort of flowers.

Clusters of Scotch broom were used with good effect in the hall and the porch, enclosed for the occasion, was similarly decked.
