the chaneel. 1t was low. but those who
stood near say It was emphatic and affirm

an instant later the Rabbi put the same

ROsewald. The latter effectively enhanced
Mime. ROsewald's pleasing rendering.
Then came the bridal party. TheFcon-
gregation could not see them as they en-
tered from the front, but the congregation
knew they were coming because the organ
was giving out the opening chords Of the
Lohengrin Bridal Chorus. A moment later
the happy, radiant party entered the
temple, and was passing toward the
chancel with measured but not solemn
tread, while the choir OF ladies took up the
refrain and rendered the bridesmaids
chorus In pleasing strain.
Almost at the same instant Rev. Rabbi
Jacob Voorsanger entered the sanctuary
from side entrance, and stepped into the
bower to greet the bridal party. Two
ushers ccompanied him.
% The bridal party was headed by two
ushers. Then came the bridesmaids in
couples, as follows: Miss Hattie Hecht,
Miss Belle GerstIe, Miss Rosebud Hecht,
Miss Alice Gerstle and Miss Grace Hecht
Miss Sadie Hecht acted as maid of honor
and William Gerstle as best man. The
ushers were Bert Hecht, Louis Greene

and around them hung garlands of SmllaX
and white roses.
Raised high on the center of the sanctu-
ary. and surrounded by profusion of rare
palms and ferns, stood the beautiful bower
built of trailing smilaX and white chrys-
aDthemums and hung with garlands Of
white sweet peas. On each side Of this
fairy nuptial bower were tall white Japan
ese lilies.
On the background. against the organ
and on each side of the white satin banner
were palms and trailing smiIax. The chan
eel rail was mass of green trailing vines
and ferns, surm0unted by a cushion of
lavender and crimson sweet peas.
Admission to the temple was by card
only, Yet half a n hour before the ceremony
began the large auditorium was well filled
and still the carriages kept coming in a
steady stream and still other friends came
on foot. 1t was a gay assenlblage. in

contrasted well with the somber black of

hair, her head being simply covered with a
transparent veil of white tule. In her
hand she carried a magnificent bunch of

The Fee Oues. .tion In England.

In discussing What to Give When
Visiting" a writer in a London paper
brings out some curious history OF
old time English feeling.
I'm town, " he says, 1.-The feeling sys-
tenn is certainly on the decline. For
merly fees were given under the
name Of walls to servants by dinner
guests and ball guests and even by
luncheon guests This is now quite
a thing of the past. Fashionable So
ciety does not give and is not expect
ed to give. The middle classes, how
ever, still retain this old fashioned
custom-they give their crowns and
half crowns to the parlor maids, and
even mention this when engag ging
them I often give luncheon par
ties remarks an old lady to an ap
plicant for her situation, and you
will find my friends are very gener-
GUS
Such trifiing fees, however, could
not be looked upon as a tax, but
they were a trouble, and they have
fallen into abeyance. At the thea
ters the feeling system is rapidly dis
appearing, to the great satisfaction
of the public, who feel that quite
enough is charged for seats without
having to pay to be shown into
them"
