The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Alex
ander Hughes, in KenWood, was trans
formed into a fiowery bower last eve
ming for the marriage of their daugh- |
ter, Helen, and Louis Alfred Laramee.
The woodwork was hidden by the
dered over doorways and arches or
were held in place with great clus-
ters of American Beauty roses in the
reception hall. In the library the
bookcases were topped with ferns,
among which pink roses nodded their
fragrant heads, and ported azalias and
ferns were about the fireplace. The
service was read in the drawing-room,
which was all in white and green,
with Easter lilies on either side of the
palms and ferns banking the window
nook and vinca vines and smilax trail
ing over the woodwork.
Only the family witnessed the serv-
ice, and, as the orchestra began the
strains of the "Lohengrin" bridal
chorus, Willis Smith and Stanley
Howard, in page suits of white,
stretched the garlands Of smilax to
the altar. Bishop S. G. Edsall, fol-
lowed by the bridegroom, led the
bridal procession. Little Louise Brace,
in fluffy frock of white organdie,
carried the ring in a basket of white
tulle. Miss Amy Laramee, the maid
Of honor, wore pink silk null fash
Toned with Arabian lace and carried an
arm bouquet Of pink roses. The pride
was met at the foot of the stairs by
her father, who gave her in marriage.
Her gown was of Paris chiffon over
chiffon and silk and made with an
1880 shirred skirt finished with ruch-
ings and tucks. The blouse was tucked
and had a bertha of rose point lace,
while the full sleeves were caught In
cuffs Of the lace. The veil was held
in place with white lilacs, and she
carried a cluster of the same delicate
blossoms. A gold cross set with
pearls, the bridegroom's gift, was the
only ornament she wore.
Several hundred guests had been
hidden to the reception which fol-
lowed the service, and the orchestra
