Pfttsburg Heiress Becomes n Count
ess-A brilliant AFFAIR.


PITTSBURG, April 2S.-Amid scenes
as impressive as lavish display of
wealth, the dignity of society and the
solemnity Of the ritual of the Protest
ant Episcopal church could provide the
marriage of George Francis Alexander
Seymour, the earl of Yarmouth, OF
England and Alice Cornelia Thaw of
Pittsburg, daughter of the late Will
liam Thaw, was solemnized in Calvary
church.
The weather was beautifully bright
and just cool enough to be pleasant.
The church was magnificently deco
rated for the occasion with palms,
white hydrangias, white lilies and 9th
er potted plants, and the audience the
most brilliant ever seen at a wedding
in Pittsburg. The bride wore a mag
nificent gown of ivory satin trimmed
with duchesse lace made high necked
and with a court train. She carried a
bouquet of orchids and lilies of the
valley and wore the fine string OF
pearls that was her brothers wedding
gift. The bridegroom wore the conven-
tional frock coat and light trousers.
After the church ceremony there was
a reception at Lyndhurst, the Thaw
residence, for $50 people. The house
was splendidly decorated and the col
lection of gifts was most magnificent.
