On Thursday, the sixth inst, at the
residence of the BRIDES mother, Mrs
Albert Walworth Harwood, on Wash
ington avenue, occurred the marriage
OF Miss Harriet Diantha H rwood to

Sibley, both now deceased but we'll
known in this community. The cere-
mony took place at noon with the Rev

man.
AS the soft strains of the Lohengrin
bridal music began, the wedding pro-
cession slowly descended the vine
wreathed stairway. 1t was led by two
little children, Miss Persis Sibley
Holden and Master Victor Lyman,
white robed and carrying baskets of
flowers. They we're followed by Mrs
Arthur j. Holden, cousin oflthe bride,
as matron OF honor, beautifully
gowned in white and carrying aboquet
of white carnations and asparagus
fern.
Then came the bride on the arm of
her brother, Waldo Sibley Harwood.
She wore lovely gown of white cloth
chiffon, the high bodice made with
lace yoke and over it long veil of
tulle fell in soft folds from a wreath
OF orange blossoms. Her only orna-
ment was a necklace of gold beads
worn by her great grandmother. She
held shower boquet of white sweet
peas and maiden hair fern.
1t was a green and white wedding for
which the house was deliberately dec
Grated by Hoffmeir, New York for
ist A charming effect was produced
by the artistic use Of palms, ferns,
bl anches Of oak leaves and trailing
vines of clematis and Florida moss,
relieved by white flowers.
A bower of greenery had been erect
ed at one end of the parlor and here
the groom, attended by his brother,
Alexander Lyman, awaited the coming
of his bride. Here also, the VOWS we're
spoken and congratulations received.
The wedding breakfast was served at
tables, adorned with white asters and
smilax. Lucas of Troy was the cater
er in charge.
A pleasing program of musical sell
ections rendered by Goldsmith's Or
chestra enhanced the enjoyment of the
guests during the reception and break
fast.
Mr. and Mrs Lyman we're showered !
with confetti and followed by good |
wishes as they departed for their we'd
ding journey.
Many choice gifts testified to the
loving esteem and appreciation of
multitude of friends. A prominent
place was accorded to q beautiful pic
ture given by the Young Womans'
