day at "Rosehurst," the beautiful SUBJ
urban residence of Mr.. and Mrs. William

which followed. after which large re-
ception was held. Miss Salome Becker
played the wedding march.
The bridal party stood In the reception
| room, where the decorations were In
white and green. and were exceedingly
elaborate. Masses of palms and gladioli
| reached to the ceiling. and the mantel
was banked with ferns and white f1eur-
de-lis.
The BRIDE who Is of the spirituelle type,
dainty and petite, made q lovely picture
in her snowy robes. She wore point
d'alcncon lace over white satin and chif-
fon. and carried a shower bouquet of
swansonia. Her veil was fastened with
orange blossoms. and she wore a pearl
necklace, the gift of the groom. The
maid of honor. Miss Charlotte Lnden-
berg, of Columbus, o., had u charming
gown of white chiffon, with elaborate
real lace. The bridesmaids were Miss
Grace Floyd, of Binghamton. a cousin of
the bride, and Miss Elizabeth Hitchcock,
of this city. Their frocks were remark
ably pretty, and were of white moussel-
ine-de-soie and lace. They carried blue
delpfiniums. The ushers were Mr.. Ed
ward Sherman, brother of the groom: DR..
Lucus c. Kennedy, brother of the bride,
and Williston Barker, the groom's cousin,
of Newport.
During the reception, Mr.. and Mrs.
Kennedy and Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Il.
Sherman, the groom's parents. assisted in
receiving. Mrs. Kennedy wore beauti-
full gown of black lace. over white silk.
Mrs. Shermans costume was pearl crepe
de chene, with point lace.
The house Is admirably adapted for en-
tertaining large company. and pretty
feature of the arrangements was the EN-
closed verandas, making additional space
and many attractive hooks. The dining
room was thus enlarged so that forty
guests were seated at one time. This
room was particularly effective in decor
atiOns of red roses, quantities of the
velvety beautiful flowers being used. The
balustrades of the staircase were en-
twined with crimson rambler roses and
tne library ana dICONeS were DOWeT-nke
In their adornments. In the bow window
of the reception hall, Bauer's orchestra
played during the afternoon The decor
atiors were placed by Clarke. Hanley
catered.
A vast array of gifts was shown in the
upper rooms. They included elegant fur
niture. chest of silver, and quantities
of rare bric-a-brac. silver, glass and other
costly articles. These represented only
part of what awaits the young people at
their Newport home. where much of the
furnishings of that home are in place.
The bride is a great favorite in this
city, and it is with regret that her de-
parture is chronicled. She has many ac-
complishments, and has lived more than
q butterfly existence since she left Bryn
Mawr college. Dr. Sherman is gradu-
ate of Harvard university and has taken
up the practice of medicine in his old
home at Newport where his family is one
of much prominence and distinction. He
Is man of brilliant attainments. Dr.
and Mrs. Sherman's home will occupy an
old colonial house, closely connected with
the earlier history of New England.
