The friends of the contracting parties assembled af eleven o’clock, and on the arrival of the bride Miss Johnson played an inspiriting march, The bride, who was given away by her father, looked very winsome in a dress of soft cream voile, made with a transparent yoke of silk insertion. The skirt had a panel front trimmed with tiny silk buttons and loops, and the tucked sleeves were trimmed with insertion bands to match the yoke. Over her wreath of orange blossoms the bride wore the customary veil of tulle and carried a very pretty bouquet of roses and asparagus fern.
