TENNlLLE-- CHISHOLM.
An Interesting Wedding Last Even
ing at Christ Church.

Ing at Christ Church.
A very general and most cordial in
terest was felt in the wedding of Mr..
George Francis Tennille and Miss Jes-
sic Mason Chisholm, which was cele-
brated at o'clock last evening in
Christ Church. The church was
simply, but very beautifully decorated
for the event, the chancel filled with
handsome palms and the altar rail
and lectern entwined with smilax. On
the altar itself were tall vases of Eas-
ter lilies and callas, their pure white
showing with charming effect against
the surrounding green.
The church was filled with relatives
and friends some time before the hour
set for the ceremony, and during the
interval a number of beautiful selec-
tons were rendered by Miss Coburn
the organist.
At the first soft notes of the. wedding
march from "Lohengrin," the two lit
tie ribbon bearers, Miss Marian
Schley and Master Julian Hartridge
passed UP the aisle to the foot of the
chancel steps, where they stood await
ing the arrival of the bridal party.
Each wore white, little Miss Schley
pretty frock of French nainsook and
lace, and her small companion boy
ish suit of white serge.
Mr.. William f. Dix of East Orange
led the bridal party, walking alone,
and followed by Mr.. Jack Rauers with
Mr.. Godin Guerard, and Mr.. Wright
Hunter with MIR. w. A. Tennille, Jr.
The bridesmaids were led by Miss
Venable. Miss Nan duBignon and
Miss Anna Guerard, who walked to-
gether were followed by the matron
of honor, Mrs. Lawrence Maxwell. The
young maid of honor, Miss. Vida CHS
holm. Immediately preceded the bride,
who entered with her brother, DIR. Jul
liam Chisholm. At the foot of the
chancel steps they were met by the
groom with his best man, DR.. H. III.
Martin, and the marriage service was
then performed by Rev. Robb White.
The bride was given away by Dr. Ju-
liam Chisholm. After the ceremony
Mendelssohns wedding March" was
played as occasional
The brides gown was an exquisite
creation of white crepe ninon, with
much fine hand work, that gave 1t a
charming air of delicacy. The corsage
had yoke effect, unlined, of hand
run pin tucks, below which were laid
medallions of duchess lace. Narrow
vertical rows of shirring confined the
sleeves al the shoulder, from which
they fell in a soft puff almost to the
wrist ending in deep pointed cuff of
satin ribbons caught together with en-
broidered stitching. The girdle, finish
ed at the back with tiny bows, and the
collar with a roll of tulle above, were
made in the same fashion as the cuffs.
At the left side of the bodice was fast
ened a spray of orange blossoms. The
skirt of the gown showed the same
beautiful handwriting as the corsage,
and, below the short hip-yoke thus
formed, was an applied pattern of
duchess lace. The graduated f1ounce
was shirred at intervals in narrow
rows that gave a soft and graceful
fullness, and was finished with tiny
ruche of crepe and loops of satin rib,
bon. The effect of charming dainti-
ness was enhanced by the veil of tulle,
gathered becomingly against the
brides dark hair and caught at the
side with an aigrette and knot of
white ribbon. Miss Chisholm wore the
groom's gift, a crescent of diamonds,
and carried a bouquet of white orchids
and lilies-of- the-valley.
The bridesmaids were all in white
organdie, with half wreath of green
in the hair. Each carried an armful
of American beauties tied with rib
bons in the bright shade of the flow
ers, and the deep pink of the roses
gave a brilliant touch of color to the
scene.
The maid of honor was in white, with
wreath of lilies -of-the-valley in her
hair. Her bouquet was of white roses,
from which fell streamers of smilax and
maidenhair ferns, with single roses
caught in the green.
Mrs. O'Brien, the brides mother,
wore gown of silk wolfe, the skirt
tucked at intervals to half its length
below which point were laid wide bias
folds had a fra
yoke of tucked mousseline and gar
niture of silk applique
