TO a present. There were $50, 900 worth o
presents. No fewer thnn 5000 people at
tended the ceremony In Grace Temple.
The bride received enough presents TO
enable her to set up half a dozen house
keeping establishments, and the streets
about the house were blocked for hours
with wagons trying to deliver the gifts IN
time for exhibition after the ceremony.
Presents began pouring in in floods upon
the residence OF the Mayor early IN the
day, and It was not possible to find room
for the gifts. Cases OF jewelry, piano

There was such plethora OF presents'
indeed. that many were left In their cases,
so that they could be the more readily sent
to the future home OF the bride.
The arrangements for the wedding were
on a scale be- .tting the occasion. The
ceremony was performed In the church
most nearly approaching the National Con.
vention Hall In size, the Baptist Temple, as
the brides own church was not large
enough, though its pastor. the Rev. Dr.
John r. Davies, lately Of New York, per-
formed the ceremony, assisted by the Rev.
DR.. George A. Peltz, OF the Temple.
After.the ceremony there was reception
at the Hotel Stratford, which was attended
by nearly two thousand guests. The bride
and bridegroom then started for Palm
