n N ISS HELEN THOMAS became the
~ bride of Joseph Weller Seton Jr.
at one of the prettiest weddings
of the year. celebrated yesterday
afternoon in the chapel at Trinity
Episcopal church.
The bride was given into the keep
ing of the bridegroom by her mother,
Mrs. L. Walcott Thomas. and quaint.
old fashioned bit of ceremony was IN
troduced when the bride was met in
the aisle of the church by the bride
groom, who then escorted her to the
altar. The altar was an improvised
bower of a mass of roses that trailed
over lattice work. The roses were
effectively mingled with ferns The
decoration was extremely pretty The
ceremony was performed by the Rev
Frederick Clampett. and several hun
dred guests assembled at the appointed
hour, $3.50 o'clock. although the guest
list had been restricted to the young
friends of the couple, who crowded the
church. The bride has many acquain-
tances, and none of the engaged girls
has had such a constant round OF en-
tertainment.
The brides gown was an imported
creation of white silk crepe, made
princess, and heavily embroidered. The
embroidery was in exquisite relief de-
sign on the skirt. and extended to the
end of the court train. The elabora-
ton was in panels of embroidery and
the gown was fashioned along the
clinging lines that are worn now by
the Partisan brides
The bride wore a long tul1e veil and
wreath of orange blossoms, and her
bouquet was shower of orchids and
lilies of the valley. Her only orna-
ment was diamond necklace and pen
dant, the gift of the bridegroom.
The maid of honor was the sister of
the BRIDE Miss Julia Thomas, and her
gown was of valenciennes lace, fash
ioned with a tunic effect of chiffon
and satin. Her white picture hat was
trimmed with pink roses, and she car
rled an armful of bridesmaid roses.
The four bridesmaids were Miss Julia
Langhorne, Miss Sydney Davis. Miss
Helen Baker and Miss Janet Coleman,
all or whom wore princess gowns in
lingerie effect of lace and silk crepe
with picture hats. Miss Sydney Davis
wore lavender plume in the white
hat. but the plume worn by Miss Helen
Baker was white.
Mrs. Thomas wore gown of pale
apricot crepe de Paris over apricot
satin with guimpe effect in chiffon
and gold net. The bodice was elabo-
rated with duchesse lace. With this
enective costume Mrs. Thomas wore a
picture hat to match the gown and
trimmed with touch of black velvet
