a Very Pretty Ensemble.
a quiet but very beautiful wedding
was solemnized at 10 o'clock this morn
ing at the Durlacher residence, when
Miss Hilda Helen Durlacher became
the bride of Mr.. H. Neale Roach. Men
delssohn's famous march was rendered
by Miss Jean Durlacher and the cere-
mony was impressively performed by
Judge Carpenter, the wedding party be-
ing stationed under a bewitching cam
opy of smilax and magnificent yellow
chrysanthemums in the drawing room.
The exquisite decorations of the apart
ment were all in yellow n green.
The reception hall was done in red and
green, the floral effects harmonizing
beautifully with the color scheme of
the room. There were no attendants.
The bride was most becomingly gown
ed insher travelling dress of rich reseda
green satin cloth, the gloves, modish
hat and carriage bag being in perfect
harmony, and the costume being com
pleted for the wedding journey by a
handsome fur set of boa and mum in
gray squirrel.
The ceremony was witnessed only by
relatives and most intimate friends of
Mr.. and Mrs. Roach, and the party re
paired to the dining room, where a
sumptuous wedding breakfast was
served in six courses. Covers were
laid for Mr.. and Mrs. Roach, Madame
Roach, Mrs. Durlacher, Miss Durlach-
er, Mr.. and Mrs. j.. T. Peckenpaugh,
Mr.. and Mrs. c. S. Greenbaum, Judge
Carpenter, Mr.. and Mrs. r. G.. Fitch,
Miss Norma Downey and Mr.. Corlett
lDowney. The spectacle presented in
the dining room was rarely beautiful,
the exquisite linens being uaiimparted
and the china the rare old set bearing
the Durlacher monogram, which was
made for Mrs. Durlacher in Europe
twenty-five years ago. The center
piece consisted of a luxuriant mass Of
huge yellow chrysanthemums, and the
cut glass vase containing them was
tied with wide satin ribbon in yellow
and stood on a sparkling mirror. Be
meath the glass was a marvellous
square Of Mexican drawn work over
satin also of chrysanthemum yellow.
Narrow ribbons in the soft yellow we're
suspended from the electrolier, which
was prettily festooned with smilax. TO
these ribbons. at each covor. wero al
fixed the dainty place cards, which
We're water color depictions of a charm
ing bride and a coy cupid.
In view of the informality Of the
event, the array of presents which the
young people have received is indeed
remarkable, the list already including
rare and beautiful gifts of solid silver,
cut glass, china, lace, silver cloisonne
and bric-a-brac.
Mr.. and Mrs. Roach took the east
bound train for a honeymoon trip, and
did not diyulge their destination, but
promise to return in due season, and
will be at home to their friends at tne
Durlacher residence after January 1st

Mr.. Roach is one of the best kncwi
and most popular young men in the
city. He has grown up here, is known
to almost every nan in the county
and for the past year has held the pc
sition of county surveyor of Albany
county, having been chosen in Novem
Der, 1904, defeating his opponent by {
large majority. His office is in the
HDavis building, on Grand avenue
where he also conducts IN insurance
business, having succeeded to the JohI
H. Davis agency.
The bride is so well known that
word at this time seems superfluous
She is the second daughter of Mrs
Hannah Durlacher, was born and rear
ed here, graduating from the higl
school and later from the universit,
with the class of 1901. Her position
in the society of the city has beel
secure and she ranks with the mos
popular of the younger society set
Her father was one of the pioneer bus
mess men of the state, was a Mason
of high degree and a prosperous bust
ness man. His death left the famil!
without a male heal, but the Widowed
mother took hold where his grasp fail
ed and has made for herself a stable
home in the city. The young people
as they well may. will receive th'
hearty benedictions of a cityful o
friends. They will become a part o
the community and be loved and hon
ored as good citizens should.
