The notable society event of yesterday was the marriage of Miss Vernon Lee Marks, daughter of Mir and Mrs. John Scott Marks, to MT. John Roy Stuart Scott of Toronto. Canada.
 St. Mary's-on-the-H Highlands was beau tifully decorated for the nuptial service with Easter flowers. Quantities of snow balls and dogwood were massed about the chancel, the blooms in their whiteness eclipsing the display of green, which was not used with the freedom usual at we'd dings On the altar in tall vases stood clusters of annunciation lilies, luminously white in the glow of the altar candles.
 The nuptial music was played by Mrs. William Gussen. The vested choir-of which the bride has been a member since childhood--entered from the vestry just as she and her attendants set foot within the church vestibule. The choir to the altar singing as they came 'rhe Voice That Breathed Der Eden.' Its final tones merged into the bridal chorus from 'Lo- hengrin," which they sang as the pro- cession approached the altar.
 The ushers led the way, entering in 
 party. As they came they were MT. Mar tin Lide and MT. Roland Lide. MT. Will liam Johnston and MT. Vaughan Gregory: Miss Carol Woodson, the cousin of the bride, with Miss Elsie Mcintyre followed. Thos groomsmen, MT. John Marks--the l brides brother-and MT. Bradford Me
 Tntyre, were the next groomsmen to 1 enter. After them came Miss Amelia Worthington and Miss Clara Lee Wood-
 son, another cousin of the bride.
 l Miss Jean Marks. the brides young
 sister, was her maid of honor. She en- tered alone and behind her came little
 Miss Bettie Woodson. the youngest daugh- tter of pr. and Mrs Lewis Greene Wood son. the flower girl.
 The wedding was certainly picturesque, the floral scheme lovely and quite un- usual. The four bridesmaids, the maid of honor and the little flower lady were all in white-the sheerest of dotted Swiss gowns inlaid with shadow laces, suggest ing with their short-waisted effect and the soft bow of green ribbon in the back the quaint, pretty Kate Greenaway" gown of another period. The six young
 
 ell carried great armfuls of Easter lilies. As they stood within the chancel waiting with the mass of white blossoms hign above them and seven branched candle sticks gleaming whitely at intervals, the groomsmen and ushers, in conventional evening attire, waiting to escort them back down the long aisle out of the church after the vows. the picture was singularly lovely. But loveler still it was when the bride joined the group. She en- tered with her brother, Mr. Charles Marks who gave her in marriage, and as she slowly passed down the aisle, with the tones of the choir still singing the bridal chorus, a murmur of admiration passed through the fashionable assembly. Mr.. Scott and his brother, MT. Walter Scott of Canada. entering from the vestry, met her at the altar, where the vows were pronounced by the Rev. Dr. Will loughby Claybrook, rector of the church. Miss Marks Is a young woman of unusual beauty. The charm and sweetness of her face is heightened by the distinction of her figure and carriage. She is not less beautiful in character, her nobility of soul and her quiet dignity having given her a splendid place in the regard of all who know her. She was gowned for her mar riage in white satin. yelled over it's entire length with chiffon. The bodice was richly garnitured with prlncesse lace, which also adorned part of the skirt, made with a court train. Her veil was arranged on the head a Juliette cap, decorated at either side with orange blos soms and lilies of the valley. Accessories to her bridal attire were her flowers, Eas- ter and valley lilies arranged in a great bouquet, the center of which was the spray of Easter lilies, surrounding which was the shower of lilies of the valley
 Following the bridal ceremony very informal reception was held at the home of MT. and Mrs. Marks. Only the bridal party, the relatives and very few most intimate friends were invited. The house, like the church, was adorned with dogwood blossoms, snow balls and Easter lilies. Mrs. Marks re- ceived her guests wearing an evening gown of black chiffon over satin. Her sister Mrs. l.. G. Woodson, was in lowered chiffon over charmeuse. Miss Lee Marks of Montgomery was one of the guests especially noted. Her gown was blue marquisette prettily embroid- cred. Mrs. Paul C. Lee of Montgom- cry, the brides grandmother. was a lovely white-haired lady noted among the guests She was attired in black
