Drexel But Miss Cordelia Eundell Bradley Is a very Eweet-faced "girl, and one of each charming personality that none who know her would say that fortune had been too liberal In Its sweet favor. The house of JIr. and Mrs. Charles Henderson Bradley, on Center avenue. East End, where the marriage la to be celebrated at 8 o'clock this evening, Is being rendered exquisitely fragrant and beautiful with banks of roses.

There is to be nothing but roses the bridal rose of virgin white and the roses that have blushed the faintest jitnk to adorn the rooms, but they will there in profuseness and elegance. The blossoms have been brought from the east and look more than ever the queen of flowers, for they are unusually fine and fit every whit to surround even bo queenly and fair a bride as that of to-Uay. They will tiroop above her head in the drawing-room, where will be spoken the words by Itev. Geo. W.

Izer. D. and the Rt. Rev. Cortlandt Whitehead, D.

that will magically change the Identity of the bride; cluster about the mantel and In every nook, clamber over the archways and the ptaJrcase. About the bridal robe centers, In feminine eyes, nearly all the Interest when ona Is not thinking of the bride whom it will adorn. It is of white satin, but not such eatln as has made happy countless other maidens, for It Is rarely exquisite mate rial. Bo beautiful In texture that when It was fient to the convent at Columbus for the nuns to put on It the finishing touches of their lovely embroidery, they wrote back inquiring from where It came, for they had never handled euch, save In working on the handsome satin designed to drape the church altars In Rome, It Is an Amer ican gown, though in her trousseau Miss Bradley has any number of Paris robes. The skirt is perfectly plain, with a train much longer than Is the custom, but which adds a lovely dignity to the toilet, that Is quite out of the ordinary in every way.

There are two bodices to the dress. The one for elaborate occasions, after the wed ding. Is cut low in the nock, with bands of exquisite embroidery, blossoms curling their snowy petals one Into the oilier, about the waist and up the front or the Doaice where It confines in place becoming fulness of the satin. About the low neck the needlework la marvelous in Its loveliness, For the ceremony this evening the bodlc-e to be worn Is very high at the throat, and about It is to be clasped the famous neck lace over which everybody has been chat tering. It is the gift of the groom, and has the added value of being in the past a Joint wedding gift of Mr.

A. J. Trexel the grandfather of the present bridegroom and Mr. George W. Chllds to Mr.

Middle's mother, Mrs. Edward born Emily lirexel, on the occasion of her marriage. The Jewels are diamonds and pearls, on this bodice, too, there -is the work of the nuns, orange In satin threads over the web of satin of the gown; orange blossoms that look as if only now plucked from out of the fresh dew and laid thereon. the laco! Few maidens have ven-. tured to even dream of such for their wed-.

ding gown. It, like the Jewels, Is an heirloom, and was worn by the mother of Mrs. Bradlev Mrs. BrJgham on her wedding dav. It was given to Mrs.

Bradley by her mo'the-r. to be worn by the first daughter the houso to become a bride, and thus It falls to Mis3 Cordelia Bradley. It is caught In a butterfly bow, low at the short point of the round bodice In the back, and 1 from there comes up In soft folds to the 1 shoulders to form a deep yoke In front, 1 and to reach far out over the great puffs of the elbow sleeves. The veil will be caught In place by tiny tnmvrtci nnrt npnrla. thfl rifts to Mips Bradley of her sisters, Miss Jane and tiny Gladys; and there will be worn two high white algrets that are clasped by the same Jewels.

Where the puff of the elbow sleeves of the gown meets the long white gloves a butterfly, embroidered In satin Is thrust In the draping. The bridal bouquet is to be formed of roses, tied first with pretty blue ribbons in tiny bouquets that together form the larger one. Hidden in a cluster of roses is a handsome wedding ring with the date of the Bradley-Riddle nuptials engraved in- Bide of the golden circle. After the wed-, ding reception, when the bride retires to a' prepare for the Journey east, the bridal bo-quet will be tossed from the stairway to the girls below, and of course she who finds the ring will be the next bride. Llke-' wise are the young men to be remembered by the bride, and he who catches her pretty slipper, eatln, like the gown, and Jeweled with diamonds and pearls, as it, loo, is tossed down the stairway will be a happy bridegroom within the year.

The bridesmaids this evening Miss Jane Bradley, the maid of honor; Miss Genevieve Bailey, of Albany, N. an exceptionally charming girl; Miss Betty Warden, Miss Bessie Long, Miss Rosalind Smith and Miss Taylor, of Toledo, O. are to be gown-' ti In white organdie, with pink ribbons, and will each carry pink roses. Beautiful little Gladys Bradley will be flower girl. Bhe is a sweetly dimpled baby girl, with frreat blue eyes and fair curls.

Her little 4 frock Is of white, made by the nuns at Columbus, their needlework, like a cobweb of laoe, beautifying it. Mr. Livingston Blddle is to be the bridegroom's best man, end his attendants, Mr. Cralsr Biddle, Mr. Klrhy Smith and Mr.

William Inness Forbes, of Philadelphia; and Mr. Alexander Bradley and Mr. Charles Henderson ley, the bride's brothers. There will be some very elaborate dressing this evening at the reception that fol-' lows the marriage ceremony, nearly every woman having a new gown for the occasion. Mrs.

Bradley being yt In partial mourning for her father, will not lay It aside, but wear a beautiful black mousse-line de sole, with embrotdercd crepe, a JiUek aigret In her hair and pearl gloves.
