 At 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon the church of St. Mary s-on-the- Highlands was the scene of beautiful wedding when the nuptial ceremony uniting Miss Bessie Irvine of this city and MT. FL der Watson Marshall of Pittsburg were pronounced. A mass of the fairest roses bedecked the altar thrown in relief by a background of palms. Ferns and smilax were twined about the chancel. It was a white wedding, only the whitest of roses and lilies being disposed among the fresh foliage.
 Preceding the ceremony an exquisite programme was rendered by MT. Damn Petersen, who played two Grief numbers, Album Leaves" and Solvieg's song from Peer Gynt," with the Venetian Love Song," by Nevin. As the-strains of the bridal chorus from Lohengrin sounded through the church the bridal party en- tered. The ushers were MT. R. W. Ew- ing and Dr. Earl Drennen. They were followed by the groomsmen and four bridesmaids. The groomsmen were Mr. Augustus Reid, MT. Jackson Eaton and MT. Dan Webster.
 The bridesmaids were Miss Margaret IT, vine of Athens, sister of the bride; Miss Elizabeth Philips of Tyler Tex, Miss Nellie Sloss and Miss Jean Ballen- ger. They wore costumes exquisitely suited to the summer bridesmaids-soft, white lingerie and laces over shimmer- ing silks, Leghorn hats dropping with clusters of pink roses and valley lilies, .sI.t~ in broad streamers extending to the hem of the gowns, completed their pictur- esque toilets, while the bridesmaid bou- quets were arm clusters of Killarney roses and sprays of lilies of the valley tied with French bows of pink ribbons.
 Miss Irvine entered upon the arm of MT. D. M. Drennen, who gave her in marriage. She was charming in her bridal robes of ivory satin The gown was made with an overdress of satin braid and the corsage elaborately trimmed with pearls and rich lace. Sprays of valley lilies confined the tulle veil which en- ve1oped her figure. and these blossoms were combined with brides roses in a shower bouquet
 The bride was met at the altar by MT. Marshall and his best man, MT. George Reineman of Pittsburg. The Rev. Willoughby Claybrook, the rector of St. Mary's, perfSmed the ceremony using the customary ring service. The bridal party then left the church to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march.
 Following the ceremony at St. Mary 8 MT. and Mrs. D. M. Drennen entertained the bridal party and a limited number of friends at the Country club In honor of MT. and Mrs. Elder Watson Marshall from to 2 o'clock. It was one of the most charming functions of the post Lenten season, the hour and the place making it an altogether perfect occasion. About 100 of the guests went from the church to the club, to many the little tourney in automobiles along the High land avenue boulevard proving charm ing diversion for the late afternoon. The club was never more attractive than with its spring dress of trees, foliage and flowers. The party yesterday afternoon favored the veranoa with its broad, cool spaces.
