finally carried. Secretary Crawford

Schaefer-Castle
Wedding

st. Andrews cathedral was the
scene last evening of very pretty
and largely-attended wedding, that OF
Miss Ethelinda Schaefer, daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. F. A. Schaefer, and Mr..
Alfred L. Castle, son of Mr.. and Mrs,
W. R. Castle.
The ceremony was at s clock. The
! attendance of friends was very large.
The cathedral was handsomely dec
Grated On the altar were Advent
lilies, while about the lectern and pull
pit and the entrance to the choir were
banked great masses of ferns and pink
carnations, and on the pulpit SPLEEN
did vase of asters. The use of pink
carnations in the decoration scheme
was something of an innovation, and a
very pretty one, they harmonizing with
the gowns of the bridesmaids
While the guests were assembling,
Mr. Bode at the organ played softly.
With the wedding march the bridal
party entered the church. The four
bridesmaids were Miss Beatrice Castle,
Miss Katherine Goodale, Miss Blanche
Soper and Miss Viola Damon. They
were all handsomely gowned in pink
and carried bouquets of pink roses.
The maid of honor was Miss Elsie
Schaefer, sister of the BRIDE, who also
carried a handsome bouquet. The
bride, in a beautiful white satin gown
with long train, and veil caught with
diamond pin, came with her father.
The ushers were w. R. Castle, Jr.,
Gustave Schaefer, w. L. Castle, Rich
ard Cooke, Harold Castle and Charles
Sprincks.
The groom, accompanied by his best
man, George Fuller, entered the church
from the vestry, and met the bride at
the steps leading to the choir. Here
the bride was given away by her
father, and the bride and groom, adj
vancing to the steps of the sanctuary,
their troths and the blessing
was given.
Only the officiating clergyman, Rev.
F. T. Simpson, the bride and groom,
and the maid of honor and the best
man left the chancel for the ambula
tory, where the marriage register was
signed, the bridesmaids and ushers re-
naming standing in the choir.
After the signing of the register,
the wedding party passed from the
chanceI down the main aisle of the
church to the door. Another innova-
ton was introduced in this feature of
the ceremony. The bride and groom
came first; then the maid of honor,
as she had entered;
then the bridesmaids, two and two, and
then the ushers.
From the door the ushers at once
to the front pews, where the
families of the newly-married couple |
were seated, escorting them to their
carriages at the door, the congregation
meanwhile remaining seated.
Following the ceremony at the |
there was reception and wed |
ding supper at the home of the bride s
parents.
Many handsome gowns were worn |
by the guests at the ceremony, and, it |
being a church wedding, where hats |
are not only permissible, but in effect |
there were many magnifi- |
cent creations of the milliner's art. |
Not often is there so distinguished a |
gathering at a wedding.
