chry the altar was beauti-
fully decked. More than 400 guests
attended the ceremonies at the
church, Kenosha society being well

of the bride had plighted their troth
at the same altar, the former mar
riage having sbeen the first service
held in the church.

was not large one. Miss Brown
was attired in a simple wedding gown
of white chiffon cloth and she entered
the church attended by her father.
Preceding was the vested choir of
the church and the members of the
| bridal party. Miss Elizabeth Stebbins
presided at the organ and when the
party entered the church she played
the Coronation March" from The
Prophet. Mrs. Harry Marshall Vale,
of Beloit, was matron of honor, while
Miss Agnes Narramore Slosson, of
Kenosha, and Miss Katharine Walker
Brown, of Oakland, Cal, were the
bridesmaids. Mr.. Cavanagh was at
tended by his brother, Richard p.
ICavanagh and the ushers we're Fred
erick r. Carpenter of Evanston, Cecil
Page of Chicago and Messrs Chester
David Barnes and Charles Chester
Allen, of Kenosha.
At the foot Of the chancel the bridal
party was met by the Rev. Charles L.
Mallory, Dean OF the Milwaukee Con-
vocation of the Episcopal church,
who read the marriage ceremony.
The English service was used and the
bride and groom stood at the opening
of the chancel for the betrotha1 SER
vice. After the service was over the
choir sang 30 Perfect Love-" at the
conclusion of which the bride and
groom kne1t at the altar and the mar
riage ceremony was performed. The
bride was given away by her father.
With the close of the ceremony the
Recessional was played and the bridal
party left the church.
Following the ceremony at the
church a reception was held at the
Brown residence on Park Place. The
rooms were charmingly decorated
in white and gold, chrysanthemams
forming the basis of the decorations.
The bride and groom received their
friends in the library, being assisted
in entertaining by Mr.. and Mrs.
Brown and Mr.. and Mrs. James Cava-
nagh. Mr.. and Mrs. Cavanagh left
on the $50 train for their wedding
