Pretty Ceremony at the Church Of
st. Catherine Of Genoa.
After Wedding Breakfast the
Couple Go to the Adirondacks.

At 1880 o'clock this morning Rev.
Father Agnew, of Chicago, pronounced
the ceremonies that transformed Caro-
line Jones, an American girl into the
Niscountess Benoist day, peeress
under the heraldry of the ancient French
regime.
A very charming ceremony 1t was,
held with simplicity that of itself
makes the event notable. in the pretty
little Church of st. Catherine of Genoa,
in One Hundred and Fifty third street,
near the Boulevard.
The banns were published by the
parish priest like that of anybody else
from the pulpit last Sunday and al
though the event had the uncommon
religious honor Of the Pope's personal
benediction, and the cathedral and a
| bishops services were offered, the
bride and bridegroom preferred the little
chapel-like church where they both
had worshipped for the past two years
and the offices Of a priest.
Father Slattery. the pastor of the
| church, remarked most gratefully on
the honor paid his church. Father
Agnew, who officiated, is a personal
friend Of the bridegroom and is visiting

But for the additional music, the
ceremony was altogether the plain SER
vice that unites the least conspicuous

Archbishop Corrigan. who Is in the
Catskills. communicated the Pope's bless
Ing to Father Slattery and included his
own apostolic blessing.
Some days ago in his parochial rounds,
rather Slattery saw the couple at the
brides house and imposed upon them
the double benediction to which he was
commissioned.
Save for a few flowers and palms no
attempt was made to decorate the caurch
| this morning. -Four carriages conveyed
all who attended. and these barely filled
two pews in the front of the church. The
Invitations scarcely included an intimate
| friend. and except for the three or four
friends who officiated nobody was present
| except relatives.
These included General and Mrs. e.
Parker Scammon, the brides maternal
grandparents; her mother and her two
married sisters. Mrs. F.. D. Hoyt and
