NEW YORK, June 5.-(Special MAUD
Van Cortlandt Taylor became the bride
of Lewis Warren Hill, of st. Paul, at
high noon today. OF all the June brides
Of the half-week, and there were notable
and distinguished ones, Miss Tay.or has
the distinction of being the fairest and
the tallest. Her wedding did not posse 8
the glitter of the Lehr-Dah!gr5 nuptials
the pageantry of the Stnlman-Potter
marriage or the pomp of the Goodrich
Iselin ceremony; but it was impressive
in it's simplicity, and beautiful beyond
compare in its surroundings. Such D c.
turesque scene as that which occurred
today at No. 8 East Eighty-first street
has seldom been witnessed in New York
Carte blanche had been given the flor
lists and electricians by Walter Curzon
Taylor, brother Of the bride, whose res
idence was the place Of the wedding. The
first and second floors were converted
into a modern fairy land The parlors
were made into one room. The walls
were trellised with spring flowers. An
arch of ferns and flowers gave entrance
to the rooms from the grand staircase,
the rich carvings of which were hidden
by the banked floral decorations Hun
dreds Of electric lights twinkIed amid the
flowers and foliage.
In the great square window in the front
was covered with flowers and candles.
An archiepiscopal chair was at one side
behind which stood the scarlet and white
laced acolytes with golden eros and staff
Opposite was another, swinging the golden
incense vessel In front was a cushion
of roses.
Further down the room embowered in
flowers was the organ, with choir stalls
made of roses, smilax and palms. Here
!,
nuptia1 and the wedding masses Arch
bishop Ireland, of St Paul, an old
friend Of the families of both bride and
groom, performed the ceremony. He
was assisted by local clergy. The vest
ments Of the archbishop and his assist
ants added to the beauty OF the scene.
PINK AND RED COLOR SCHEME.
The color scheme was red and pink, the
latest and most fashionable combination.
Backed by the solid green Of the foliage
the effect was superb The electric lights
were also pink and red
Just before noon the bridal procession
formed at the top of the staircase As
the organ pealed a wedding march the
procession started. First came the

Ruth and Gertrude Hill, sisters Of the
bridegroom; the Misses White, of Phila-
delphia; Miss Julia Stephenson, Miss

the flower girl, Isabelle Taylor, four
years old. She was daintly dressed in
pink. She carried the brides huge bou-
Duet of gardenias. Next was the maid Of
honor, Miss Ethel Taylor. Then fol-
lowed the bride leaning on the arm of
her father, Cortlandt NJ Taylor. The
brides mother and Walter c. Taylor
ended the procession.
