" The brilliantly liglited church was filled with the relatives and friends of the bridal pair. When the coming of the wedding party was aunounced by tlie entrauce of twenty-tvvo choir girls, who niarched froin theguild room to the chancel, singing Lohengrin's bridal chorus. They were dressed in white and wore white veils ou their heads, and cariied green wreatlis in their hands.
