 and daisies being the chief decorations,
 with a sprinkling of lilies The outer end of each pew was decorated with a sort of large rosette of ferns, fastened
 in the center with daisies.
 A unique feature of the wedding was the manner in which the bridal party formed before proceeding up the aisle to the altar. The bridesmaids were grouped around the chancel, and as MT. Ford of this city, the organist for
 the occasion, began Lohengrin's we'd | ding march the ushers marched up the l aisle and then escorted the bridesmaids | to the rear of the church, where the | entire party formed to go down the ailse. Arrived in front of the chancel, 1 the ushers and bridesmaids stood on each side, and the bride and groom | walked on up to the altar, the bride | being handsomely attired in white sat- 1 in.

 ing until recently resided in New York MT. and Mrs. Erskine left on an early evening train for a rather ex- 1 tended wedding tour, but where they | were going none of their friends could | learn, and the couple evidently did not | desire to become the victims of the practical jokes usually played by | friends on occasions of this kind They l left the home of the brides parents in a carriage early in the evening. 1 A NORTH HAVEN WEDDING. | A delightful home wedding was that

 known caterer of this city, furnished
