ceremony was performed at the New

her uncle, Mr.. Arthur Sewall, OF Bath.
Me. Miss Maud Sewall, the maid OF honor,
attended her sister wearing delicate orchid
tinted organdie with love knots of lace in
sertion. and a pretty hat to correspond.
The additional maids were Miss Gertrude
James. of Urbana, and the Misses Sewall,
each wearing organdie whose combined
tints gave a rainbow effect. They wore
hats to match the color of their gowns
and carried garlands of sweet peas and
vines. The bride, who is well known in
artistic and literary circles, was dainty in
white silk tissue, whose opened front dis
closed the embroidered white satin skirt
beneath. Her tulle veil fell like mist about
the graceful figure and a white bound mis-
sal was carried, from which the service
was read. A reception was held at the
Sewall residence and later on Mr.. and Mrs.
James left for bridal trip which will
conclude at Urbana, where they viii make
| their home.
One of the most beautiful of last nights
weddings was that of Miss Nellie Catherine
Jackson and Mr.. Leon Meyer Estabrook
which took place at O'Clock, at st.
Johns. The church was artistically
adorned with palms and June blossoms and
the ceremony was performed by the Rev.
Mr. Paddock, owing to the absence from
the city of Rev DR.. Mackay-S Smith. The
| bride attended by Major J. u. Dare, who
gave her in marriage, was attired in ivory
satin made with elegant simplicity. the
bodice showing artistic touches of rich
lace. Her veil was draped back from her
face with lilies of the valley and diamonds,
and with the bouquet of bride roses she
carried an ivory bound missal. The ushers,
who walked before the bride, were Mr.. H.
B. Grant. Mr.. Philip II. Cass, and Mr.. NJ.
]. Holmes. Miss Retta Gallanger. the
maid of honor, was gowned in white cr-
candle over white silk, and her bouquet
was of pink sweet peas. Miss Jessie Stew
