AT HIGH NOON.
Marriage of Miss Reynolds and Mt
O,Brfen Was Celebrated.


O'Brien Was Celebrated.
In the Cathedral of st. John the Bap-
fist Yesterday at noon was solemnized
an impressive marriage, that of Mr..
Edward NJ. O'Brien and Miss Nellie
REYNOLDS. Many friends of the young
couple assembled to witness the cere-
mony, and the scene was one of unus-
nal beauty, stately palms in the chan
eel and tall vases filled with roses on
the altar making an attractive back
ground for the picture.
To the strains of the wedding march
from "Lohengrin" the bridal party
entered the church led by Mr.. John
strous and Mr.. Frank Golden. Next
came the two bridesmaids-the brides
sister, Miss Gertrude Reynolds, and
her cousin, Miss Eleanor Leacy, who
were followed by the other ushers, Mr..
lanes Maddox and Mr.. Frank Palmer.
The maid-of-honor, Miss Ecie Rey-
nolds, preceded the bride, who entered
with her father, Mr.. Samuel Reynolds.
At the foot of the chancel steps the
groom with his best man, Mr.. Joseph
W. Heffernan, met the bride, and the
marriage service was then performed
by the Reverend Robert F. Kennedy.
During the ceremony, the organist
rendered 20 thou sublime sweet even
ing star" from Tannahauser, and Men
delssohn's Wedding March" was
given as occasional.
The bride wore handsome gown of
white silk embroidered net, over white
chiffon and built upon an underdress
of taffeta. The high corsage was sim
ply finished with drapery of panne
ribbon, laid in graceful design across
the front, and folded around the collar
and over the shoulders. The sleeves,
rather close to the elbow, were formed
above the wrist into a deep puff, soft
ened by a fall of lace. Shirred rows of
narrow chiffon ribbon outlined the
length of the skirt, and were extended
at its lower edge into a circular effect,
emphasizing the embroidered pattern
of the lace net. A fiounce of the net,
with ruches of ribbon, gave a soft fin
ish to the skirt. In the tulle veil was
fastened an ostrich aigrette. The
bridal bouquet was of white roses.
The attendants were picturesquely
gowned, the maid-of-honor in pink and
the bridesmaids in nile green, with
long black gloves and big black
Gainsborough hats of malines and os-
trich plumes. The gowns were made
after a very pretty fashion, the skirt
ending in an applied band of inch-wide
tucks, from which fell three circular
founces, each with a ruche of satin
ribbon. The corsage, formed of fine
vertical tucks, had an unlined yoke
tucked across and finished with fiat
band of cream lace, into which were
caught little knots of ribbon. The ell
bow sleeves had a pretty fold of white
tulle twisted with ribbon; and with
each gown was worn sash of tulle
caught with loops of ribbon. The maid
of honor carried a bouquet of pink
roses and the bridesmaids bouquets
were of delicate ferns.
After the ceremony large recep-
ton was held at the home of the
brides father on CASTOR street. The
rooms were deliberately decorated with
palms and ferns, and many people
called to offer congratulations. The
wedding gifts, which were displayed
in one of the drawing rooms, were
unusually numerous and handsome.
Mr. and Mrs. O'Brien left on the
afternoon train for North Carolina,
where they will spend a fortnight.
Upon their return they will occupy
apartments in the Casanova.
The bride is a charming young wo-
man and her many attractive quail
ties of person and character have
made her very much admired. Mr..
O'Brien, who has many warm friends,
holds the position of assistant teller
in the Citizens Bank.
