ROYAL EXILES MARRY.
RUSSIAN PRINCE AND PRINCESS. QUIET LONDON WEDDINu. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Aug. 26, 5.5 p.m. London, August 25. Seven Royal personages, all Russian exiles, crowded the St. Pancras registry office to assist in the civil marriage of Princess Nina to Prince Chavaehavadze. The bridegroom was unconventionally attired, in a lounge suit, and the bride wore a pink frock and white hat and shoes. An official describes it as the mdst silent ceremony he ever saw; it was the atmosphere of the old Russian regime. The bride, who is aged twenty, is a sister of Princess Xenia, who married a wealthy American, Mr. William Leeds. The religious ceremony, to be performed at the Russian church, will follow later. Some British royalties sent jewel presents, while thd bulk of the gifts were of a useful variety. Their Majesties sent a dinner service, Princess Mary arid Viscount Lascelles gave a tea service, and others gave blankets, eiderdowns and table presents.—United. Service.
