Could the fair and beautiful Eve have foreseen the future that to
her seemed so promising, would she not have given up to despair and
remained aloof from sound of tempting voice?
But God's decree willed it otherwise, and the fair Eve, whose beauty
and submissive charms had power to influence her lord and master,
became the mother of mankind.
It would be unjust, uncharitable, to intrude upon the feelings of
the pair to participate in the present festive ceremony at
"Sunnybank."
Evelyn Verne emerges from her boudoir "a thing of beauty." Was ever
bride more enchanting, radiant or beautiful? Were ever bridal robes
more graceful? Perfect beauty, queenly beauty, dazzling beauty. It
is needless to expatiate upon the shimmering train, mist-like veil
or conventional orange blossoms. Reader, we will allow your
imagination full scope. Let it rest upon the radiant bride until the
eye becomes familiar with the minutest arrangement of the elegant
costume.
And then the bridesmaids! Five lovely maidens--St. John's fairest
daughters. Five bewitching forms with grace in all their movements,
claim our attention; and on all sides--"How pretty!" "How sweet!"
"How beautiful!"
Two sisters are exquisitely dressed in India muslin and antique
lace--one in pale-blue and the other in pink.
