The first of the autumn weddings,
md one in which the interest felt is
widespread and cordial, was that of
Mr.. James David Woodroe and Miss
lane Welles May, which was celebrated
at $50 o'clock last evening at the home
of the bride, 313 Charlton street, west.
Trailing vines of smilax, arching
Mains, and a profusion of the late
summer flowers, made the scene very
lovely one. From the entrance to the
folding doors, which separated the two
drawing rooms. were stretched white
satin ribbons, and these were unfast-
ened and carried by the two little
flower girls, who were the brides
nieces, Miss Katharine May Hammond

wasted frocks of white organdie with
white ribbons, and each holding a
shower bouquet of pink roses.

caught across the shoulders and al
most covered the front of the bodice,
and al the left side was a big bow of
ribbon, fastened with a gold buckle
that is an heirloom in the brides fam

ribbon was looped about the waist and
knotted at the ends, falling over the

organdie, the upper part of the skirt
