copal church on Wednesday after noon was one of the most elaborate weddings ever known in this city.
 The church was artistically decor ated by George Hough Smith, assist ed by E. Hausen, formerly gardener for Phil D. Armour of Chicago.
 A dainty curtain effect of strands of smilax hung from the ceiling and draped back to the end of the chan eel railing with huge bunch of white crysanthemums hanging from the center formed an effective arch un- der which the couple were united in marriage. At the end of each pew a dainty bunch of chrysanthemums was tied with large bows of white satin ribbon. The window sills and space between were continuously draped with smilax and chrysanthemums. Potted palms were placed at one end of the chancel railing and large jardiniere of chrysanthemums at the other side. The chrysanthemums used were of the magnificent variety Min na Nanamaker. Here and there were large vases of this striking flower and with the reflection cast by the after noon sun upon the whole scene, the effect was beautiful.
 Promptly at 2 o'clock to the Lohen- grin wedding march by Mrs Shirley Christy, the four ushers, MT. R. A. F. Penrose, MT. Spencer Penrose, MT. Brockman and MT. T. D. Bennett, slowly marched down the aisle fol- lowed by Mrs E. J. Bennitt and the bride with her father. They were met at the chancel by the groom and m Do, Dop pv-i where the betrothal was read by Rev.

The newly married couple then walked slowly down the aisle follow ed by the bridal party and MT. and Mrs. Guy Bennett, and Immediately repaired to the home of MT. E. J. Bennitt, where the wedding break fast was served. The large dining rooms were bowers of beauty.

This was an exquisite center piece, the gift of MT. and Mrs. George Hoadley. Dainty sprays of plumosa were carelessly laid on the table, g1v- ing it light. airy, but decidedly ef- fective appearance. In one corner of the room stood numerous potted palms, while the mantel and fireplace Xezr~COyered with punches of pome- granG.e bearing fruit.
 - The other room and table were dec orated with red American B7auty roses. A large bunch formed center piece while plumosa was effectively spread over the table The mantel here was most unique. It was banked up with huge red apples encircled with pome- \Ranate boughs bearing fruit.
