NO WEDDING RING FOR MISS WARFIELD.

SIMPLE CEREMONY.

Couple Delighted With Novel Gift. BRIDAL BOUQUET BY AIR. United Press Association.—Copyright. (Received 10 a.m.) TOURS, May 30. The Duke of Windsor's marriage, although performed in a luxurious room of the Chateau de Cande, will be identical with thousands carried out daily. The Duke and his bride will sit together, flanked by the witnesses. The Mayor of Monts, Dr. Mercier, who will officiate, wearing the tricolour scarf of his office, will conduct the ceremony. After pronouncing the pair married, he will present them with an eight-page paper-covered "Livret de Famille," in which all the particulars are inscribed in six pages. Another 12 spaces is provided blank for registration of children. Mayors generally indulge In a joke, saying that when the 12 spaces are filled the couple can obtain another book. The wedding ring will have no place in the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bedaux, owners of the Chateau de Cande, presented the Duke and Miss Warfield, as she is now known, with a wedding present of a carved wooden statuette of a man and a woman embracing, bearing a jewelled plaque inscribed, "The Kiss." The recipients are delighted with the gift, which has been placed prominently among their presents. The chateau will be a bower of flowers on the wedding day. Special floral artists have been engaged to decorate the rooms. Miss Warfield's bridal bouquet will be sent by aeroplane from London.
