Of orange blossoms instead OF the con-
ventional circle Of blossoms on the fair
hair OF the bride attracted favorable
comment She carried a bouquet of or
chids and lilies of the valley, and was
indeed a bride of unusual prettiness
when she was given into the keeping OF
the bridegroom by her father The
service was read by Rev. Frederick
Clamrett.
The matron Of honor was Mrs. Clar-
ence Monroe Reed OF Oakland, herself
a bride of last season. and the gown
worn by this attractive little attend
ant was lavender directoire satin with
lace and embroidery in the same shade
and an occasional touch of gold to
ried a muller OF lilacs.
The four bridesmaids were not
gowned alike. after the conventional
custom, but by two and two they wore
gowns OF the same color and similar
design. The first two were Miss Enid
Gregg and Miss Elysse Schultz. who
wore empire gowns of canary colored
satin, elaborated with lace. The two
following were Miss Aloise Gebhardt
and Miss Marian Lally, who were
gowned in pale colored chiffon over
green messaline and finished with
trimming of opalescent beads. The
four bridesmaids carried Easter lilies
and the decoration of lilies was carried
out most effectively in every possible
manner. The church was banked with
the lilies as the prettiest symbol OF
the season. and in the home of the
bride the lilies predominated in the
scheme of adornment. The great white
lilies formed a background where the
young couple received the felicitations
OF the friends in the drawing room at
the Amweg home.

fective gowns of the occasion. and the

was distinguished from many of the
gowns in paler shades by its rich col
oring. The gown was made with a
train, and the skirt was elaborated
with panels of gold

ers were Grantland Voorhies, George

Mrs. Eleanor Martin opened her home
/ in Broadway recently for lecture
given by NJ Marcel Poete of Paris.
Instead of the conventional announce
ment of a lecture Mrs Martin sent
cards to her entire visiting list, afford
/ ing all her friends the opportunity of
hearing the eminent French scholar.
It is significant that this affair is the
first of the kind given in the new city.
Mrs. Martin is a born leader and her
entertainments, when they are merely
matter of pleasure, are ALWAYS
marked by the skill and individuality
of the hostess, and when the affair
partakes of the nature of an educa-
tional affair there is the same spjrit
of cleverness and originality. Mrs
/ Martin is sincerely enthusiastic over
the progress of art and literature in
the city. 1t may be that her example
will encourage other hostesses to en-
tertain celebrities who will also i'm
part some of their lore to the assem-

that while the city has been so alb
sorbed in rebuilding we have not had
sufficient time for culture and the finer
things of life. Mrs. Martin is the frst
to remind society of this lack, and in
her own hospitable way invited her
friends to participate in her reception
to the foreigner, who brings a store Of
/ knowledge with him. This is the first
/ nerhaps of many similar affairs ap,on-
