Her veil was held off of the face by a cluster -of lillies of the valley and fell to the hem of the skirt.

Mr. McClees, assisted by Mr. Marion of the Presbyterian church. After the holy vows were taken the bridal party repaired to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Clark, where a reception was held in their honor.
