scaife-Ths Closing Scenes Of the Gay
Winter Season.
THE approach Of Lent is fastening the
| weddings which otherwise must be deferred
until juno; as May, as well as Friday, is for
| hidden in the brides calendar. The tenn
| porary restoration of winter yesterday
made the day q most agreeable one for
Miss Annie Smiths marriage. which was
| celebrated in Trinity at o'clock. The cere-
mony was notable also as the first import
| ant wedding at which has presided as yet the
recently appointed rector, the Rev. Alfred
| Arundel. The chancel, which the floral
decorations at Trinity are usually confined,
was very prettily arranged. A large
| bunch of lilies occupied q space on
the lecturn. and the pulpit was similarly
decorated with golden rod. There was not
the same massing of plants as is usually fol-
lowed in Presbyterian churches; but the
cnancel of an Episcopalian church has
| always the advantage through1ts own rich
furnishings, and in fact the marked SIM
plicity is rather an agreeable divertise-
ment.
The wedding party reached the church at
the hour announced, where an audience, the
greater part or which was in. in full dress.

pronounced them man and wife. The
music ceased entirely during the perform
