| ST. Paul's church, whose great stained
glass windows give the interior the soft,
religious touch conducive to devoutness.
was the scene yesterday of an early
morning weddng-so. early that over all
was that subdued hush of a half-awa<e
city and the beautiful GOODNESS of
southern June morning. The nuptial
ceremony of Miss Elizabeth Haney Ca
halan, ward of Mr.. and Mrs. Redmond n.
Wheeler, to Mr.. James Benjamin Flem-
ing took place promptly at o'clock.
Miss Catalan looked very pretty as she
stepped into the vestibule of the church,
the flowers in her hat touched lightly by
| the summer breeze. There were Few
present to witness the nuptials, because
| of a pretty whim of the bride Ii was
| her wish to have her wedding as nearly
as possible the counterpart of that which
| took place a few years ago one autumn
morning when Mrs. Wheeler, her adopt
ed sister became a bride. This was char
acterized, as was the other by the ut
most simplicity. and only few of the
intimate friends and the small family
circle were present.
The altar, with it's lighted tapers BEAM
| ing at the end of the long aisle, was
esnecially pretty at 6 o clock. Handsome
ferns we're augmented by the clusters OF
pink carnations, the pink and white
scheme suggesting itself to all as especi-
ally appropriate to so young pride.
Preceding the ceremony a superb SOLO
was sung by Miss Norma Scholar VINO
