Miss Vivien Gould. second daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. George Jay Gould,
was married in St Bartholomew
Episcopal church. in New York. to
Major General John Graham Hope
Horsley-Beresford fifth Baron Decies.
The ceremony was performed by
Bishop David H. Greer. of the diocese
of New York. assisted by Rev. DR..
Leighton NJ. Parks. the rector OF the
church.
The crowd in the vicinity Of st
Bartholomew church was so great
that extra police precautions were ne
cessary to prevent interference with
the bridal party Lord Decies practi-
cally had to be struggled into the
church.
After the ceremony there was re-
ception for limited number at the
residence Of Mr.. and Mrs. Gould. and
later Lord and Lady Decies left In a
private car for Palm Beach, Fla. near

week Of their honeymoon in a villa
owned by a friend OF the brides faith
er. Then a short stay will be made
at the Jekyll Island club. and Lord

Those who got into the church saw
what are said to be the most lavish
floral decorations that ever graced a
wedding ceremony in New York The
decorators used spring shrubs. lilac,
forsuthia. towering crabapple, azeleas
and hyacinths in profusion for the
chancel. From the high ceiling de-
pended great festoons of asparagus
plumosa About the columns was Eng.
lish ivy. and along the walls wreaths
of Alabama smilax. Then near the
chancel rail was an abundance Of
palms. But the most effective OF the
whole decorations, in the opinion OF
many. were great torches of Japanese.
Gala and rose colored lilies that were
placed at the end of each pew. The
general effect OF the whole was OF
white and green. though here and
there was a touch of color.
The list of wedding gifts received
by the bride is as extensive as an in

sible for, and there were rare jewels,
quantities of gold and silver plate,
rare books, prints and paintings in
