Dr. Sparling at R p.m.. and at the conclusion of the knotty ceremony drove to 104 Robert street where a reception was held. The bride looked charming in a dress of louisine silk trimmed with all-over lace and large madilions of lace with a white silk sash and carried a large boquet of white roses, car- nations and lilly-of-the-valley. and wore in her hair lilly‘of-the-valley and simlax.
