Chicago, in St. Matthews Episcopal
church, the Rev. Harry Thompson,
rector of the parish, performing the
ceremony.
The church was beautifully decorated
with palms, daisies and ferns. A mass
of daisies and maiden hair fern was
banked on the altar, and from amid
this bank rose the cross, the emblem of
christian faith. Large punches of mar
guerites and ferns were tied on the
corners of the seats in which the bridal
party sat.
just as the church clock was striking
twelve, and the bells were ringing the
noon hour, the procession entered the
church. The four ushers, Wainwright
Lance, Robert Mari, John Van Burton
and Roger Kimball, preceded the bridal
party, which entered the church to the
strains of the bridal march from LOhen
grin. The maid of honor, Miss Anna
Kimball, sister of the bride, was
dressed in white organdie over white
taffeta silk, deliberately trimmed with
thread lace and white satin ribbon.
She carried a bouquet of white roses.
The bride leaning on her fathers
arm, proceeded to the altar rail where
she was met by the groom and his best
man William D. Barge, of Chicago.
She was handsomely gowned in white
satin en- train trimmed with duchesse
lace and pearls. Her only ornament
was a handsome diamond pin, the gift
Of the groom. A long veil of illusion
fell from her head toher feet, complete
ly covering her with it's soft folds.
The veil was caught up by orange
blossoms. She carried in her hand a
copy of the marriage vow bound in
white kid and gold.
At the steps Of the chancel the
ushers parted, standing two on each
side of the aisle. The maid of honor
passed up to the altar steps allowing
the bride and her father to step to the
altar rail. There the solemn, impress
sive service of the church of England
was read in digniied tones by the Rev.
Thompson. The sacred words that
made the two man and wife were
spoken, and the bridal party maached
down the aisle to Memberships we'd
ding march.
After the ceremony an elaborate
breakfast was served by Kinsley at
g The Oaks" the home Of the bride, to
which only those people who came from
out of town, the immediate neighbors
and the members of the Old Maids
league were invited. The bridal party
sat around large table in the library,
which was decorated with white roses;

trimmed with palms, wild flowers,
sweet peas and maiden hair ferns.
