milan Club.

The present season is filled to over
flowing with weddings of social interest,
most of the brides being won from among
the most popular bellies of the City, and
are so closely associated with gay life that
the season has had many vacant places in
the ranks of those who have added so
largely to the attractions of the numerous
hospitable homes thrown open not only to
residents but to strangers as well.
AT high noon yesterday Grace Episcopal
Church, corner of Stockton and California
streets, the scene of so many and
notable weddings, presented an animated
appearance. Carriages and stylish eqni-
pages could be seen hurrying to the church.
The event was the wedding of Miss Mary
Frances Breeze, daughter OF Mrs. Thomas
Breeze, and Lieutenant Harry COPELAND
Benson, Fourth Cavalry, q. S. A. The
beautiful Episcopal service was performed
by Rev. DR.. Foute and his assistant. In
side the guests crowded the aisle seats
long before the hour arrived for the cere-
mony.
The bride walked up the aisle on the
arm of her brother looking the very pic
ture of loneliness. The dress she wore
was an exceedingly handsome one,
her hair she wore a magnificent sun
burst, and she carried in her hand a
beautiful bouquet OF lilies of the valley.
Her maid of honor, Miss Louisa Breeze,
was most becomingIy gowned in COM
bination ofwhite and yellow. So also were
the bridesmaids, who were Miss Ethel Lin
coin, Miss Eleanor Wood, Miss Kate
Forbes, Miss Emily Schneely.
1t was very nearly fifteen minutes past
o'clOak whom the nShers repniyn6 tho
bridesmaids at the head of the stairs lead
ing up from the Sunday-school room and
preceded them up the aisle to the chancel.
Behind the ushers-Captain Marion P.
Maus of the First United States Infantry,
Lieutenant William III. Coffin of the Fifth
Artillery, and Lieutenant John A. Lock
wood, Lieutenant NJ. P. Rutherford, Lieu
tenant W. r. Smedberg and Lieutenant
J. Carson, all of the Fourth Cavalry, to
which the groom is attached-came the
four bridesmaids in couples, and after
them the maid of honor, Miss Louisa
Breeze, followed by the bride, leaning on
the arm of her brother, William F. Breeze,
who gave her away. Arriving at last at
the chancel rail, the groom and his best
man, Lieutenant F. J. r. Lands of Gen
eral Forsyth's staff, met them.
The bright costumes of the ladies made
the scene in the church a very beautiful
one. After the ceremony the bridal party
was driven to the handsome residence of
Mrs. Breeze, 1880 Suffer street, where a
most delicious wedding breakfast was
served to about 300 of the most intimate
friends of the bride and groom. Huber's
orchestra, stationed in the hall, played
pleasing music during the entire service of
the breakfast. The presents were among
the most beautiful seen in this City and
consisted of almost everything imaginable
for wedding gift. The house was most
beautifully ornamented with flowers and
smilax. Quite a number were at small
tables in the same room as the bridal
party. The brides table was particularly
beautiful with its decorations of smilax
and white roses. Miss Eleanor Wood was
the bridesmaid who got the floral bouquet
and Miss Scnneely was the lucky one to
get the ring.
Soon after the breakfast Lieutenant
and Mrs. Benson left the house amid a
shower of rice. Among those at the
church were:
Miss Andrews, Mr.. and Mrs George F. Ash
