NEW ORLEANS, April 18 (#).—A band of 30 tragic and nerve-shaken refugees from Nicaragua came to New Orleans tonight aboard the steamship Cefalu with tales of horror in the jungles and of sudden attack by outlaws armed with matchets that left a trail of mutilated bodies under the tropic sun. Some had been forced to flee without any attempt to bury their dead, while two families brought their dead with them.

Figuratively speaking, the sult will be cut to fit the cloth available.

Countess Alice, the 19-year-old bride, is the granddaughter of the | dowager Mrs. Vanderbilt of New York, and the late Cornelius Vanderbilt. Her mother formerly was Miss Gladys Van- derbilt.

The program of nuptial music be- gan at 3 o'clock, with Malton Boyce, or- ganist and choir-master of the church, at the console. He arranged the im- pressive music program, in which he was assisted by a string quartet. As the guests were assembling, Mr. Boyce and the quartet gave “Vorspiel,” from Wagner's “Lohengrin.” Faure's “Can- tique de Racine,” Thome's “Andante Reglioso,” Massenet'’s “La Derniere Priere de la Vierge,” and an aria from Schubert’s “Sonate.” The bridal chorus from Lohengrin was played for the en- trance of the bride and attendants and at the close of the service the wed- ding march from Mendelssohn’s “Mid- summer Night's Dream.” 2 The younger sister of the bride, Ccuntess Sylvia Szechenyi and Count- ess Nandine Szechenyi, led the wed- ding procession, wearing dainty frocks of green chiffon, small hats and carry- ing small arm bouquets of yellow and white iris, white lilacs and blue del- (Continued on Page 2, Column 2.)
