Havemeyer, of this city. The wedding will occur at five aft Is, in the Madison avenue Reformed Church, Madison avenue and Fifty-sev- enth street. The officiating clergyman will be the Rev. Dr. George Alexander. pastor of the University Place Presby- terian Church, and the Rev. Dr. Abbott E. Kittridge. Miss Russell has chosen as her attendants Miss Havemeyer, sister of the bridegroom, maid of honor; Mrs. Isaac Hallam Jenney, her sister matron of honor, and as bridesmaids Miss Grace Ballard. Miss Alice Quakenbos, Miss Ger trude Hencken, of this city, and Miss Marsh Rees, of Pittsburg.
