years since the church was packed with bril-
dial guests to witness tho union OF Miss Cor
nelia Martin and the Earl 81 Craven.
The ceremony Yesterday was possibly the
most informal one ever celebrated In the chan
try. which for years has been selected by fash
ionable people who wished TO avoid display.
A few curious persons stood for q time In the
street in anticipation OF the arrival OF the we'd
ding party. but as there was no awning they
soon became impressed with the idea thai
there was some mistake. Even when Mrs.
CoigSte'aiiz6ted from a trap with her brother.
Andrew Smith. there was little gazing. as
those who were on the watch were looking
for n bride In the usual satin, lace. tullo and
orange blossoms.
Within the chantry, up to twenty minutes Of
palms which'lined the little Gothic chancel.
