where the beautiful service of the
Episcopal church was recited by Rev.

The soft strains of music by the Por-
tage concert trio, in appropriate and
sweet harmony lent charming effect to
the marriage ceremony. Shortly before

the assembled guests umnnounced and
unattended, mingling in conversational
groups informally. At the appointed
hour each came forward to the al
tar, Joined hands, and the marriage
vows were plighted. After the cere-

on the large lawn, which had been es-
pecially wired for a profusion of cleo
trio lights, and presented brilliant
effect. Music was furnished during the
serving of this repast by the orchestra.

and abroad were present. the bride

oldest. most prominent families and is
