In many ways the ceremony which

at the time OF her enga cement that she
was Christian more or less in spirit. That

The bride had been staying at Brick House

Those invited to the wedding came up
In two special coaches attached to the

and buses In which the guests were driven
to the church mile away. The ushers were
!. N. Phelps Stokes and Harold Stokes,
brothers Of the bridegroom, and Robert
Hunter and John Sherman Hoyt, his
brothers-in- The church was prettily
decorated with hydrangeas, oak leaves and
sweet peas. Half way down the aisle were two
ereat punches Of sweet peas tied with white
atn ribbons, marking the pews reserved for
relatives and intimate friends. The altar
was almost hidden by masses of hydrangeas.
Mrs. Pastor and the children occupied the
front pew on the left side, opposite the
Stokes family.
Almost all the guests had been seated
before the wedding party arrived from
Brick House, two miles away. Mr.. and Mrs.
Stokes came on a drag with Mrs. Pastor
and two OF the little Pastors. The other
two little Pastors came on another drag

little boys wore neat linen suits and patent
leather shoes. The smallest, a four-year-
old, chung to his mother tightly. Mrs.

hair tinged with gray, wore a black cloth
dress with white yoke and a plain black
hat She smiled all the time, keeping tight
hold of her youngest.
Around the church the country folk had
gathered, They were most Interested IN
the Pastors. A lot Of cameras were leveled
It the party, which Mrs Pastor didn't
seem to mind. but to. which Mrs. Stokes
objected very strongly, so strongly that
DON'T Don't!' Before the camera men
got good chance Mrs. Stokes had alighted
and charged them with her head hidden
BY her overskirt. The cameras fed. Mrs.
Stokes appealed for help to keep, them
away and several friends afterward made
It their business to try and get in front OF
cameras. They gave it up after it had set
very one laughing.
Mr., Stokes and Miss Pastor drove up in
closed carriage promptly at noon. and
waited for signal to enter the church
