the most brilliant and fashionable
weddings ever witnessed in New
York was that of Miss Aileen Ivers,
the well-known San Francisco belle,
who was united in marriage to
Robert Moore Robinson of this city,
at the Church of the Heavenly Rest
on Fifth street avenue and Forty
seventh street to-day at noon. Miss
Ivcrs is the daughter of the late
Richard Ivers, a wealthy San Fran
cisco merchant. The bride is tall,
exceedingly fair and of magnificent
figure, bcwitching and well modu-
lated voice. Mr.. Robinson is the
son of Mrs. j. Lloyd wright by her
first marriage. He is about twenty
five years of age and of distinguished
appearance. His father was part
ner in the banking-house of Drexel,
Morgan Il Co.
Although the couple have met in
New York the engagement was not
announced until last summer when
they were both at AiX-les- Bains.
"All the world" had been asked to
the church. and fully an hour before
the time set for the ceremony Fifth
avenue and the cross streets in the
vicinity of the sacred edifice, so
noted for fashionable weddings, was
blocked with elegant equipages.
The church was brilliantly lighted
with candles and the altar and chan
eel beautifully decorated with flow
ers. A profusion of magnificent
palms and ferns, mingled with prim-
roses and clusters of Easter lilies,
adorned either side of the altar.

There was quartet, consisting of
leading artists. The ushers march

the maid of honor, Miss Bertha Rob
inson, sister of the bridegroom.
She was unaccompanied. Miss Rob-
inson was elegantly gowned in pink
satin, one of Worth's ideals. A chic
little bonnet completed this charm
ing costume.
Then came the bride on the arm
of her brother-in-law, Hon. William
G. Irwin. Mrs. Ivers came next. She
was dressed in a handsome slate
colored satin, one of Felix's creations,
with bonnet to match. Her display
of jewels was grand.
Mrs. Irwin, who accompanied Mrs.

Her tulle veil, which extended to the
end of the long train, was held in
place by a 'Prince of Wales" aigrette
of solitaire diamonds, a gift of the
bridegroom, and was the only orna
ment she wore. A bunch of orange
blossoms was artistically arranged
on the corsage. The rolling Medic
collar was exquisitely embroidered
with pearls in delicate lily of the
valley designs, forming graceful
points extending to the waist.
Not the least interesting detail o
the brides toilet was a beautiful
wrap of white crepe de Chine, which
was ordered some time ago in Chin,
by the brides sister, Mrs. w. G.
Irwin. 1t is lined with a quilting o
