The marriage OF Miss Grace Seymour,
youngest daughter of Mrs f. NJ. Bean,
to Rev Warren Morse, took place Tues
day afternoon at A o'clock at the house
of the BRIDES mother, No. 81 Atlantic
street. The house was decorated with
flowers, the colors used being pink and
white, An arch separating the front
and rear halls was filled in with pink
tinted pinks and smilax, draped back to
either side. The balustrade of the old
fashioned staircase was hidden beneath
the same vine and flower. In the bridal
bower, white pinks were used. The
whole interior of the bay window in the
parlOr, where the couple stood while
they were married, was lined with ever
green dotted with white blossoms. In
the center Of the arch hung bunch of
pink roses and on either side were large
punches Of pink pinks. AS the chords of
the "Lohengrin" wedding march were
sounded, the bridal procession appeared
at turn in the staircase. 1t was led by
the attendants Of the groom, Rev r. O..
Moody Of New Haven and Robert Bud
ington, classmate. Then appeared the
maid of honor, Miss Grace Renaud. The
pink of her under gown was softened to
y shade harmOnized to that of the pinks
by the white gauzy material with which
it was covered. The gown was set of
with pink ribbons. A large bouquet of
PINK roses completed her toilet. The
bride and groom followed, the former in
a heavy white silk gown. Her veil
was fastened with lilies-of,the-v valley.
Her bouquet consisted Of white roses and
lilies-of-the-valley, boutonnieres of which
were worn by the groom and groomsmen.
The procession moved through the hall
and passed down between rows of rela-
tives and friends to the bower in the
