not considerable curiosity, for number
OF weeks, owing 10 the flavor of romance
which attached 10 the directly interested
parties. The church, which st any time
| lends itself TO decorative effects most beau
iifuliy, was on this occasion made espe-
cially beautiful. Within the chanceI gor-
| geoas palms and huge white chrysanthe-
NUNS were used with smiiax in great
| proiuslon and with most artistic effect

music of Mendelssohn s "Wedding March.

Griggs and Mr.. Baker. attired in the con-
yentionaI black suits. each wearing an
immense chrysanthemum on the coat

Miss Anna Griggs, who fascinated
every one by their chic appearance

ACCORDION plated white null skirts. and
huge sleeves in the latest mode. with
bodices of pale yellow, high neck garniture
OF yellow satin ribbon. gloves OF the same
color, each carrying a ravishing bouquet
OF yellow rysanthemums tied with rib
bons whose ends reached the hem of their
skirts. Following the bridemaids came
the lady of honor. Mrs. Charles b. Hurley.
This, to many, was a startling innovation,
as. generally, the maid OF honor is selected
from among the intimate girl friends of
the bride. Mrs. Hurley is stately, slight
brunette, and looked very beautiful in a
toilet which differed from the bridesmaids
only in respect to the bodice. In this case

long sleeves of very stylish cus
