but one of the most elegant weddings
ever seen in Washington
The first drawing room. where the
ceremony was performed by the Rt
Rev. Henry Yates Satterlee. was artis-
ticany decorated with white roses and
delicate green foliage, while the draw
ing room just back from which the
bride entered. was rich in American
Beauty roses. In the reception hall and
dining room were also artistically ar
ranged roses and foliage. An orchestra
played all during the ceremony and the
reception which followed.
The bride was escorted to the drawing
room by her father. and had as her only
attendant her niece, Miss Barbara
Kaufman. who wore a gown of soft
null and lace and carried Bridesmaid
roses. Point applique was the lace used
both in gown and robe, the former be-
ing much softened by foundations of
tuIle. chiffon and silk. She wore a cOro-
net of orange blossoms and carried
large shower bouquet OF lilies Of the
valley.
