TRINITY CHURCH THE SCENE
Another Bridal Follows Close Upon
the Steyens-stevens
Wedding.

double line Of carriages stood along the street
on which Trinity Protestant Episcopal
Church stands, in Hoboken. A canopy led

Point. Hoboken, to Mr.. Charles T. A, McCor-
mick of Virginia.
The recent death of the brides uncle, Mr..
Dangerfield Lewis, made the wedding a some
what quiet one, although yet an event of
social Importance. The interior of the church
fairly glared with light and color. Every
available place for decoration had been feS-
TONED with Christmas green, and within
the chancel masses of palms and flowers
formed the most beautiful of settings for the
white gowns of the women in the bridal
party.
