The high-draped neckline was fastened
at the back with a row of
tiny buttons, She wore an illusion
veil of finger-tip length which fell
from a braided halo. Her shower

Miss Evelyn Lenhardt, who was
maid of honor, was becomingly
in a princess frock of aqua
marine moire taffeta, made on prin-
cess lines, with a short train and

tiny buttons reaching to the waist.
