The bridal party passed from the street; to the church through terraces of Duchess of Marlborough roses with here and there large clumps of blue larkspur.

The decorative scheme inside carried out suggestions of blue tinged with' yellow. Long sprays of roses carried from the ceiling to the eide walls gave a widening effect to the little church and near the corners were bunches of wheat telling of the. approach of the summer time, with pink larkspur and daisies in relief.

Promise Me," that beautiful song of love and hope, was played during the ceremony, and the Mendelssohn 'Wedding March" was used as the recessional.
