BRIDE OF SEVENTEEN
WAITING IN THE CHURCH A beautiful seventeen-year-old bride, in wedding gown of parchment velvet, with a girdle of pearls, arrived punctually at St. James' Church, Spanish Place, London, recently. The bridegroom, a young Italian count, did not arrive. The bride stood silent at the bottom of the aisle for minute after minute until a quarter of an hour had passed. Then the count arrived. The bride was Miss. Primrose Elizabeth Steengracht Van Moyland, daughter of an old noble Dutch family. Father Kanski, who went specially from Holland, married her to Count Gaston Asinari di San Marzano, grandson of the Duchess de Choiseul-Praslin, who was at the wedding, and a cousin of Prince Boncompagni, Governor of Rome.
