Or. McEwen, pastor of the Third
Presbyterian church, of which Miss
Thaw is a member, performed the first
part of the service and DR.. McIlvaine
rector of Calvary church, finished and
pronounced the benediction.
Preceding the ceremony an elabor
ate organ recital was given, while the
300 invited guests were being seated.
When the scheduled time for the cere-
monial-4 o'clock-arrived the we'd
ding march was begun, but the bridal
party did not appear. For some rea-
son the party was delayed and did not
arrive at the church until 4:45. In
the meantime, the wedding march had
been repeated several times and the
audience plainly showed its anxiety.
Many rumors were put in circulation,
but nothing tangible could be learned
to account for the delay.
When the waiting became irksome,
the doors were thrown open to the
public and the edifce was quickly fill
ed almost to suffocation. Finally the
bridal party arrived and at 445 the
ceremony was began. Harry Kendall
Thaw, the brides brother, who was to
have given her away, failed to put in
an appearance, and another brother,
