At the chapel Of st Mary's, Hampstead.
az exactly eleven o'clock. Long before
the arrival Of the party an immense
crowd, including many persons In the
higher walks OF life, besicged the
church and yainly attempted by attack
ing the marrow entrance to obtain adj
mission by storm. The door, which was
kept locked, was guarded by the sexton
and two policemen. who must have pos
sessed traits Of incorruptibility far above
the average TO enable them TO withstand
the temptation to accept tho handsome
sums that were offered by several in
The crowd for a glimpse at the interior
81 n church during the ceremony. As
the party drove up the door was opened
TO admit them and kept open exactly
hve minutes, when IL was again closed
and the rigid guard resumed. Nine
persons including tho principals, en-
tered the church in quick succession,
and as the last one crossed the thrcsh-
old the heavy door was shut with a
bang that must have severely Ia xel the
falling strength OF its frame.
Miss Anderson was charminrlv
dressed in white satin. with orange
blossoms and the other conventional in
sigma OF the bride. and her step-sister.
Miss Blanche Griffin. who acted as
bridesmaid. was attircd in white. with
an normou feather in her hat. Al
fonso Navarro vas the groomsman. and
Jose ph Anderson gave away the bride.
Canon Purcell. the parish priest, who
OBLIGATED, was attended by eight aco-
lytcs.
The altar was literally covered with
lilies. and the chancel was profuselv
decorated with palms and ferns Nuptial
mass was rendered with an organ ac-
compartment only, and a dozen boys in
velvet with white sashes bestrewed The
aisles with flowers as tho bride and
groom left the altar.
A. the wedding party left the church

the crowd outside and dclugcd with
rice, which was thrown from the win
dows OF houses near the church. After

took their departure for the continent.
The diminutive Hampstead chapel.
where the ceremony was performed. Is
Tor many reasons the most unlikely
in London to be selected as the
OF a notable marriage. II is very
iinicult Of access. its only approach be-
ng a narrow and dinyy back street run
ling up a steep hill The chapel itself
has an extremely dismal and forlorn
ppearance. Its front and roof are
lush with those Of the houses, and the ,
'uilding might be passed a hundred /
ines without being noticed 1t will
about one hundred and fifty per- :
ons. !
Although the crowd were thwartcd in Il
heir attempts TO witness the ceremony :
hey did not depart without at least a :
mall degree Of compensation for their !
appointment After the departure Il

mobbed and in a few minutes
