which filled the pretty Temple Rodef
Sholem to its utmost capacity long be-
fore the time appointed for the cere-
mony. The seats were filled early and
the aisles were crowded with eager
and expectant people The ceremony

pastor of the Congregation, in full

Of the church. The following was the

Miss Rosa Sanger, the bridesmaids in
superb costumes, trimmed with natural
flowers These were followed by the
bride on the arm of her brother, Mr..

bride was admirable and in exquisite
taste, and the sylph-like figure Of the
pretty girl, in soft white silk, en- traine
and all enveloped in bridal veil Of
gossamer, sweeping in Aeecy clouds
over: the face, figure, costume and traine
evoked suppressed expressions Of ad-
miration all over the audience. The

and was followed by the mother, Mrs.
A. Goldstein, on the arm Of the BRIDE

under a canopy Of white and blue silk,
supported by four young masters, Max

The services, which made the happy
couple one, were admirably conducted
by Rabbi Rosenberg, and were pre-
coded by an address to the young PEG
pie on the sanctity and duties Of the
new life they were TO enter, in grace
ful and affecting style and manner.
Then followed the six benedictions
in the Hebrew language, after the first
two Of which the groom and bride
drank wine from the same glass, the
usual questions of wilt thou take, and
the solemn pronunciation Of man and
wife, which was followed by the seventh
and last benediction, when bride and
groom again drink wine, and the glass
from which they had drank is broken
by the groom which completes the i'm
posing ceremony Of the Hebrew ritual.
