The drawing room, wThere the ceremony was performed, was all in green, with orchids, touches of bright color being tall bunches of American Beauty roses, which stood as sentinels at either side of the bower and improvised altar. This bower was erected at one end of the room of maidenhair ferns, which reached from floor to ceiling. In keeping with the simplicity of all the details, the president escorted his bride to the altar with no music for their entrance, none preceding the ceremony and none during the service.
