The grand and notable wedding, for
which extensive preparations have been in
progress for long time, and which has
been the principal topic of conversation in
fashionable circles for weeks past
took place on Tuesday evening in
Calvary church. We allude to the mar
riage of Miss Marie de Stevens to Mr..
Irving Van Wart, Jr. Long before the
hour announced for the commencement of
the ceremony (eight o'clock) the church
was filled to its utmost capacity by one of
the largest, but yet most select congrega-
tiors ever gathered together. 1t is esti-
mated that not less than two thousand peO-
pie witnessed the ceremony. The altar
was beautifully decorated with flow ers,
and a large basket of orange blossoms
placed at the head of the mid
die aisle. The organist performed an
admirable selection of music, embracing
gems from the favorite operas and the latest
galops. About half-past eight the bridal
party arrived and came slowly up the aisle,
preceded by four ushers.f the bride wore
dress of the richest white satin, made With
q very long train, and trimmed on the bot
tom of the skirt with braid of white satin
about five inches wide. Over this dress was
another of fine white Swiss muslin, pulled
lengthwise, and between each puff was a
wide band of Valenciennes inserting. The
waist was also made of muslin, over white
satin, ana was Irlmmeu very DeauIiiuly
with lace. The veil was of the fin
est Swiss muslin, ard was worn
over the face; wreath of orange
blossoms. 1t . was a funny sight,
from our station at the door, to see the la
dies sitting at the head of the pews, on
either side of the aisle. rest their little
heads on the pew-doors ond ''take-in" the
bride as she went up to the altar. There
were four bridesmaids, all dressed in white
tulle. The first, Miss Stevens. wore a white
tulle over a pink silk; the second, Miss
Pierrepont, wore a white tulle over blue
silk; the third, Miss Clark, white tulle over
yellow; and the fourth, Miss Batterworth,
white tulle over lilac silk. The ceremony
was performed by Right Rev. Bishop Pot
ter, assisted by Rev. DR.. Lawrence. The
reception and German took place on the
same evening from the residence of the
brides mother, Mrs. Butterworth, No. 52S

CANT toilettes at this wedding was probably

many of them. The bride wore a very
handsome white satin dress, point lace veil,
and elegant diamond ornaments. The four
bridesmaids wore white tulle, two wearing
pink satin peplums, and two blue. The
