The attention of high society was concen-
trated last evening on the wedding of Miss
Boardman and Lieutenant VIM at the
First Congregational Church.
Miss Dora Boardman, the bride, is daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. George c. Boardman,
whose handsome residence Oh Franklin
street, near California. has long been IA
vor tie center of hospitality. Their daugh-
ter has inh erited all their grace of making
friends, and since her debut has been singu-
larly sought after among her own and the
opposite sex. Her husband. Lieutenant
Frank L. Wiun of the First Infantry Regi-
ment, U. S. A., is thoroughbred soldier,
with considerable reputation for well-de-
served proves in the salon. He has led
cotillons with as much success as companies.
and it is hoped that with his beautiful bride
he will long remain among us.
Although the invitations to the post
nuptial reception were limited in number, a
large attendance greeted the happy pair at
the church last evening. The decorations
consisted wholly of ferns and chrSsanthe-
nuns, arranged in giant designs. 1t was
| yeritable forest of ferns that shot up toward
| the new organ. presented by Mrs Alexander
! and now used for the first time at a fashion,
able wedding since its dedication. Between
| three immense green and White arches on
| either side, formed of bamboo rays twined
with ferns and half-mufIied with white
| diaphane gauzP, a vista showed three large
| wreathS of choice White chrySan themums,
! the highest on the organ lott, another on the
reading desk and the lowest adjoining the
| prie-dieu. The disposition of the great
masses Of green and ovely clusters Of white
! blossoms was peculiarly adapted to the in
| terror architecture.
! As the ushers in uniform hustled up and
| down the aises seating the guests, Professor
! Samuel ID. Mayer rendered succession OF
! familiar selections from Wagner GounOd
| and Schumann. The greatest expectation
! prevailed and shortly after 80 O'Clock a
| carriage, followed by several others, was
heard to pause at the vestibule before the
main door and antlcipations were further
| confirmed soon after by the first bars Of the
| Bird II march from 'LohenGrin' asithe we'd
| ding cUrtege entered
| There was deli ghtful military flavor
about the bridal party. Besides the groom,
! his best man and uShers were all army men
| in full uniform. Miss Julia TOmpkins and
| Miss frankie Raymond were the maids of
| honor. The four bridesmaids were: Miss
! Helen Otis, Miss Nellie Smedberg, Miss Sal
| lie Maynard and Miss Edith Forbes. These,
with the bride, were the exposure OF all
eyes as they stood grouped in the central
! space before the reading-desk surrounded
| by the four Observation-Disclosures 5. l.. Faison,
U. S. A; Lieutenant +. A. Trip, Y. 5. A;
| Lieutenant Stevens, L. 5. A, and Lieuten-
ant Nolan, L. 5. A.
The groom had entered from the vestry
with his best man, Lieutenant l.. IL. StrO-
thcr, L. S. A., and now joined his bride us
| the organ swell sank iuto murmurous
| whispering, and the Rev. r. c. Foute Of
| Grace Church advanced with open book
| During the short and impressive service
| Professor Mayer rendered Call Me Thine
! Own" and Angel Pleadings'' on the new
organ, employing the new Enlian and yox
humana Stops with thrilling fleet.
Then the brides veil was thrown back,
and leaning on her husbands arm she re-
traced her steps toward the door, bowling
right and left as she caught momentary
| gimpses Of familiar faces among the fash
lonable audience. Many of the audience
followed the bridal party to the residence OF
Mr.. and Mrs. George c. Boardman on
Franklin street, where a reception was
| held
The decorations here were notable for
! their taste. The blide and groom received
the congratulations of their friends standing
| beneath an arb0r of bamboo iuterlaced with
smilaX chains and rooted with dropping
clusters OF some mysterious berries that
changed from red to green in the CHANGING
| lights. Baskets Of fair roses swung at the
| doors. while tea roses and little cecile
| runners ran riot over silver mirror faclng
| the door. Reed-grasseS and woodwardia
| ferns embedded the mantel from which
| peered out quaint little Dresden figures in
| court costume.
This was the general type of the pretty
decorations, the work of Miss Bates. The
| hall was in yellow and the pariurs on the
| right hand Of the main entrance were largely
adorned with clusters OF daisies or chrysan-
| themums tied up with ferns by means OF
! bright scarfS. Occasionally there was n
! basket of hydrangea blossom, notably in
the dainty conservatory, which was used as
| a punch-room.
= An elaborate supper was served in the
| large dinns-room chiefly decorated with
| ferns and hydr. nsea. Dancing was after
ward enjoyed to the music of string or
| cheStra. Altogether this was pronounced q
| charming wedding, and it will be long re-
| membered.
The presents and souvenirs filled a large
| room and were particularly remarkable Tor
| their taste and richness
