JUNE WEDDING.
One Hundred and Twenty-Five Guests
witness q Most Delightful Wedding
Thursday Noon.

InursOay noon.
In contrast with the rather forboding
dismal weather. making the outside
world dark and dreary, was the spacious
residence of Wilson L. Silvers, an North
Pearl street, Thursday, the entire interior
of the home being transformed into
bowers of wild flowers. just as wonder
GUS nature provides, made radiant by the
brilliancy of the most elaborate illuma
ton.
The occasion was the marriage of
Charles Alfred Bye, of Lakewood, N. j.,
and Miss Eleanor F. Silvers, youngest
daughter of the we'll known merchant
and member of the Board of Education.
1t was al noon when the all-important
words were pronounced, and consider
ably before that time the guests had
arrived. Carriages constantly rolled up
to the dwelling, and handsomely dressed
ladies and gentlemen were ushered
into the house and reception room,
awaiting the moment when the ceremony
would be performed.
Every room in the house was decorated
with wild flowers, principally white
elder, yarrow. milk weed, yellow daisies,
wild asparagus and tiger lilies. Each
room was decorated in separate design.
In the large sitting room the decorations
were an immense bridal bower, raised in
high arch from the floor. 1t was a solid
mass of asparagus fern, relieved by
touches of dainty, purest white elder, and
over each doorway and window, were
festoons of the asparagus. In the centre
the bower was an immense umbrella
fern.
The library mantels were banked with
yellow daisies, and the railing of the
open stairway was hidden by the same
beautiful flowers, the asparagus fern en-
twined its relieving green daintily. The
mantels of the parlor were burdened
with the milk weed, and the dull reddish
tiger lilies giving very pretty effect.
Wild carrot alone, relieved by the
green, was used in the decoration of the
dining room, which. with the wedding
collation., elaborately placed upon the
large table, was scene of much effective
beauty.
Just as softening tones of the gong of
the cathedral clock chimed out the meri-
dian hour, the bright wedding march
sounded, S. Louis Elmer presiding at the
piano.
The bridal party formed upon the
second floor. Preceding its arrival, four
