MISS HALLAM--MR BURR.

One of the prettiest weddings which has occurred in long time, in which the people of this place were so much inter- ested in, took place in Christ church, Brooklyn, February l, when George Ed win Burr was married to Lylian Cert rude Hallam. The bride was given away by her father, Dr A. c. Hallam, and was attended by Miss Lottie Burr as maid of honor and little Trudie King as train bearer, who was dressed in pink satin. The bridesmaids were the Misses Barrett, Bell and Steingester, whose gowns were l of yellow satin and grenadine and they ! carried white prayer books. John Mor- ris Burr was best man and Messrs Win- ter, Boston, Burr, Marquardt, McMahon and Thomas were the ushers. The brides gown was of white satin, beauti- fully trimmed with pearl passementerie and her bouquet was of hyacinths, roses and orchids. After the Iwedding cere mony, reception followed at the home of the parents. The house had been lav- ishly decorated, white and yellow being the prevailing colors. The spacious par lors were artistically ornamented with palms, smilax, Ma echal Neil roses, as- tension lilies and dainty daisies here and there blinked in the light from the chan deliers. Mir and Mrs Burr stood under a
 floral bell and received the congratula- tions of their very many friends. A su- perb supper was served by Swain and the music was fine by Schneider and Zott. The bride and groom have gone to Wash ington, Old Point Comfort and other places in the South for two weeks. Just before leaving the bride took her beauti
 ful bouquet to pieces and distributed il amongst her many friends. She gave
 her attendants pretty gold pins. A few of the handsome and numerous presents were: The groom to the bride. an up
