The bride, -who was given away by her father, wore an early Victorian frock, with a full skirt of ivory souple satin, and a tight-fitting corsage embroidered in silver. The long sleeves were of silver lacc. Small clusters of orange blossom held in place a veil of white tulle, which was beautifully embroidered with roses and lovers’ knots. A white and lotus-pink shower bouquet completed a charming picture. In attendance on the bride was Miss Hino Valentine, wearing a frock of blue georgette, with a large bow of french taffeta beneath a tight corsage, tho skirt falling in deep points. A bouquet of pale apricot tinted blossoms was carried.
