many notable weddings in st. Thomas
Protestant Episcopal church, on flfth
avenue, but never one that attracted
more attention or that vas more nu-
merously attended than that this AFTER
noon of Miss Katherine StauHer clark,
daughter OF Senator w. A. Clark OF Mon
tana, and DR.. Lewis Rutherford MOTHS.
The church had been beautifully deco
rated for the occasion. It's interior was
a vast garden of blooming flowers. The
chancel was adorned with spreading
palms and with roses, the pillars were
garlanded with masses of pink roses and
hyacinths and Towering shrubs.
From midnight or Sunday until within
half an hour Of the time set for the cere-
mony florists had labored necessarily
and successfully to convert the church
into a tropical bower. The ceremony
was set for $3.50, but at noon Fifth ave-
nue. was owe with those who came
to get a glimpse of the bride. Admls-
sion was by card. At $3.50 every pew in
the church was filled and there We're
many still to be admitted.
Ii was a remarkable wedding party.
New York society was largely repre-
scented, but there were many guests from
a distance-from Montana and Arizona,
Colorado and California, Nevada and
New Mexico. 1t was a democratic we'd
ding in some respects, the guests includ-
ing many old-time friends of Senator
Clark, who spoke OF the charming bride
as "Billy's Kit These We're mining
camp friends of earlier days, proud not
to ave been forgotten. and all of them
were given a warm welcome by the FAM
lily OF the bride.
There was a slight change from the
usual order in the bridal procession. The
English fashion of having the ushers re-
main within the portal was adopted.
Preceded by her bridesmaids, Miss Mae
Pfpl1tS nf R11tta and Miss Christine
Pomeroy of California. Miss Clark en-
tered the church leaning upon the arm
of her father. The matron of honor was
Mrs. Everett NJ. Culver, the brides sis
ter. The bridesmaids We're gowned in
a combination of cheny lace with French
embroidery, worn over pink silk, the
many ruf1les Of lace giving a hufy eff
feet. Sashes Of pink silk fell to the hem
.of the skirt in the back. The maids wore
large hats of straw, trimmed with lace
and clusters of pink roses.
Mrs. Culver wore a gown of pale gray
net s%prinkled with light embroideries
over silk, and a hat of pale gray with a
touch of pink in the trimmings.
The brides gown was of rare richness
and perfectly suited to her slight and
graceful figure. 1t was of cream-Whlte
satin. with an over-gown of finest rose
pointed lace. She carried, instead OF the
customary bridal bouquet, a white PRAYER
book bearing her monogram in gold. She
wore about her neck three ropes OF
pearls. -
