settings of ferns and moses. The prom

transformed into an avenue OF palms and
tiny cedars, amid which shone electric
lights and countless flowers, producing an
effect uniquely beautiful.
Shortly after s o'clock the bridal proces-
sion entered the ballroom, where the mar
rage ceremony was performed. Little
Erma CIayburg and Aimee Schmitt, as
fower-girls, escorted by Master Robert
Roos, looked charming in their dainty
frocks Of hlmy silk tissue. The ushers,
who came next in line, were: Samuel
Naphtaly, Morris Lowenstein, Sanford
Feigenbaum, J.. B. Sonnenberg, Joseph
Loewe and George Roos, and as they are
only men, all that can be said of their cos
tunes is that they were in faultless evening
dress like the other male guests.
The bridesmaids, however, looked charm
ing IN their exquisite toilettes of pale rose
satin and delicate blonde lace. Each car
ried large bouquet OF La France roses,
surely no fairer than the six society buds
who bore them-Miss MAY Schlesincer
Miss Hilda Brown. Miss Mabel Gerst, Miss
Edith Schmitt, Miss Elsie Cook and Miss
Rose Goslinsky. The maid of honor, Miss
Dorothy Hermann, in a simple yet effec-

alone, bearing q cluster OF pure white roses.
The bride entered leaning on the arm of
her father, Joseph NaphtaIy, the we'll

though to catch glimpse OF what was
going on. The brides veil was of filmv
silk net and fell in cloud-like pillows over
the long court train. She carried bou-

girdle of orange blossoms

Five chandeliers, in which were as many
hundred wax lights, were connected with
each other by graceful, flashing festoons of
star-like electric lights, intertwined with
smilax. The bridal canopy was of white

march from "Lohengrin, and at the close
OF the ceremony the "Cavalleria Rusti-

After the ceremony congratulations and
dancing were in order. At IL o'clock the
guests to the number of $50, sat down to
a sumptuous repast in the banquet-hall,
which had been magniicently adorned for
the occasion. Back of the seats occupied
by the bride and groom the letters 'F'
and M combined in a graceful mono
gram outlined in golden fairy lamps shone
forth against background of dark-green
ferns. Morris Schmitt, the brides uncle,
acted as toast-master and master OF cere-
monies, covering himself with distinction
in either role. The brides health was
drunk twice, it being her twentieth birth
day as well as her wedding day After
supper dancing was resumed and kept up
until the rosy streaks in the East warned
the merry-makers that the marriage feast
was over.
