home of the brides mother, 26 Court

Nearly two hundred guests assembled
to witness the ceremony, which was per-

two nephews of the groom, Vernon and
Herbert Rood, of Mendham.

uncle, Edwin F. Arnold, of Washing

Miss Edith Arnold, while Frank Little,
of Deckertown, acted as best man.
Howard Arnold, brother Of the BRIDE

The brides gown was of white peau
de sole, exquisitely tucked and trimmed
with applique and a pearl collar She
wore tulle veil and carried bridal
roses. The maid Of honor was attired
in blue silk grenadine over taffeta and
her boquet was of white carnations.
Lohengrin's wedding march was play
ed by Mary Cooley, and during the ser
vice could be heard the distant strains
of harp and violin. At the close of
the service while the bridal couple were
still kneeling just before the benedic-
ton was pronounced the orchestra rem.

After the ceremony a most delicious

groom.
