The lovely stairway was decorated
in southern smilax and white flow
ers and at intervals throughout the
apartment, tall candlesticks held
burning tapers. The door arches
were draped with southern smilax
and placed at intervals were baskets
filled with pink snapdragons.
The ceremony was periormed in the
living room before an improvised al
tar of beautiful palms and smilax,
while gleaming among the rich foli
age were burning tapers in tall can
delabra. Leading to the altar from
the foot of the stairway in the hall,
forming an aisle, were tall white
floor baskets, placed at intervals,
overflowing with pink snapdragons
and connected by graceful garlands
of pink tulle.
