Rev. H. A. Cordo, DID,, the pastor of
the First Baptist church of this town,
were married in the church last even
ing, the large number of friends and
relatives completely filling the large
edifice.
Miss Cordo has many friends in this
part of the state, and several were
present from her old home in Court
land and Gloversville, n. Y, where she
formerly resided.
1t is not often that there are such
beautiful floral decorations seen at a
wedding at Plymouth county, and it
was owing to the prominence of the
bride in church and social circles that
so many of her young friends showed
their appreciation of her worth as in
this part of the pretty service.

the edifice was first looked after by the
young ladies', the following having
charge of the decorations Mrs August
'Wolforth, Misses Lillian Bates, Minnie,
Grace and Lucy Ellis, Adah Black,

green, and each balustrade was en-
twinod with evaroraan while little dot
tings of flowers gave it a picturesque
appearance. The door leading into
the auditorium was outlined with green
and cut flowers, which were deftly en-
artistic manner.
The pews, where the invited guests
and relatives were seated, were desig-
mated with ribbons of white, and these.
too, bore the indications of much care
on the part of the young ladies. A
large arch of oak leaves had been
erected at the farther end of the aisle,
and it was beneath this that the cere-
mony was performed.
This beautiful decoration was height
ened by the intermingling of yellow
roses and white pinks. On either side
of this arch large ferns and towering
palms had been placed as a back
ground.
The pulpit and the organ loft at the
rear were not overlooked by the young
decorators, who had racked their
brains in the effort to make the result
effective.
The chandeliers, both in the body of
the church, and the organ loft were
draped with masses of green, and neat
ly interviewer with flowers, the general
colors, yellow and white, predominant
ing. Each window was banked with
evergreen and masses of fern. Here,
as well as in the rest of the church.

tiful effect.
