during the six hours following noon today than have ever occurred be- fore in a similar period within the memory of the oldest member of the 400.

 The Church of the Transfiguration was the scene at high noon of the nuptials of Miss Jaffray, daughter of Mrs. William P. Jaffray, and her cousin, third removed, Capt.

The brides costume fully bore out the statement which her friends had given out to the effect that the trousseaux which she brought from Paris few weeks ago was one of the most elaborate ever seen in this country. 1t was a pink wedding. the ehancel of the church being filled with pink roses and the bridesmaids carrying big punches of them.

 Both the bride and groom are Catholic, and the latter has but a slight acquaintance with the English tongue, which fact, however, is not a matter of moment to his bride as she speaks French fiuently.
