These were followed by two little maids of hon. or, Misses Lou Beardsley of Bridgeport and Emily Sterling of New York; then came the bride, leaning upon the arm of her father. MT Curtis and his best man, Edward Livingston Wells of Southport, advanced up the other aisle, meeting the bridal party in front of the pulpit. Rev N. T. Merwin performed the ceremony in an impressive manner and W.S.Plumb discoursed sweet music from the organ. The bride was given away by her father. Five hundred invitations had been sent out and the church was crowded with guests from New York, Southport, Bridge port and at home, many of them in full dress and with many rich and elegant costumes. The bride was richly attired in white faille franchise, with veil and t,.tr la and diamond ornaments, carrying a bou- quet of white roses. Miss Lou Boards ley was dressed in pink and white and Miss Emily Sterling in blue and white and each carried baskets of roses.
