 A memorable incident in social history was the marriage the other day of MISS Adelaide Chatfield-Taylor, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Hobart Chatfield-Taylor among the most prominent Americans resident in Chicago Last year the de- but of their daughter, Adelaide, was the chief event of Chicago season. The other day her marriage to MT. Whitman, of Brookline was celebrated with much pomp and circumstance. There were many features of sentimental import about this wedding as the stories go and as one culls the account from various Journals which have published them, 1t appears a bit strange that weddings are not more often planned in this way-re- calling a nuptial event long past, for as a fashionable journal relates it:
 MT and Mrs. Hobart Chatheld-Tayor of Chicago were reminded Of their own wedding ceremony, twenty-two years ago, when they saw that of their daughter, Miss Adelaide Chatheid-Taylor and Mir. Hendricks Hallett Whitman, son of MT. and Mrs. William whitman of Brookline.
 They were married in the Lake Forest Presbyterian Church in 1890. The cere- mony had been performed in the after noon with the Rev. J. c. K. Mcclure, then pastor of the church, as one of the officiating clergymen. After the cere- mony the guests had gone to Fairlawn, where the parents of the bride, Senator and Mrs. Charles B. Farwel, had held wedding reception on the great lawn sur rounding their country house. Johnny Hand, who had played for all the we'd dings and coming-out parties ,n Chicago's fashionable circles for decade, furnished the music out under the trees.
 In the span of twenty-two years time has dealt kindly with this group. MT. and Mrs. Standardization inherited Fair lawn as their country place and have kept it in it's original state. The same Lake Forest church remains practically as 1t was twenty-two years ago. The. Rev. J. K.AG. Mcclure still claims Lake Forest as his summer home albeit in the time that has gone he has become president of the Mccormick Theological Seminary. Johnny Hand, carrying about the reputa- ton of being Chicagos oldest and most famous musician, still lives, although he
 
 his son. NIr. and Mrs. Chatfeld-Taylor determined therefore, to reproduce their own wedding as nearly as possible for the wedding of their only daughter. The ceremony was performed at four o'clock in the afternoon, in the Lake Forest Presbyterian church, the pulpit platform banked into a tall pyramid of white peo- nies and lilies and greens as it had been on the occasion of the earlier wedding. a divided curtain of asparagus fern drap- ing the archway from the top to the plat form floor.
 The Rev. Mir Mcclure performed the ceremony, reading from the same prayer book he had used at the wedding of Miss Rose Farwell and Mir Chatiield-Taylor. At the organ the programme tof music included much of that written by the brides uncle. MT. Reginald De Koven. After the service the guests walked or motored over the wonderful tree-lined roads of Lake Forest to Fairlawn, where the bride and groom stood within bow CT of green topped with white doves and roses-a replica of the bower in which MT, and Mrs. Hobart Chatfield-Taylor had re- ceived their wedding guests. Beneath the trees not far away Johnny Hand per. sonally conducted the orchestra as he had done tWenty-tWO years De1Ore.
 Even to tie many guests who had at- tended the service of the brides parents and again were present at the wedding of the daughter the real surprise of the af- ternoon came when on the table by the side of the new wedding cake was found an d-fashioned fruit cake partly used but with the raised inscription in the ic ing--"Taylor- Farwell, June 19, 1890, Lake Forest" still legible. The remains of the f.,,if palx at a ar been brought from it's sealed box for the first time in twenty-two years The small tables at which the guests were served were placed beneath the trees on the lawn.
 The bride, who is tall and athletic and fair of hair, wore a gown of white satin. The court train fell from the shoulders and was outlined in old rose point ap- plique--lace that had been her mothers. The veil was of tule caught into close cap The attendants were gowned alike in pale blue charmeuse gowns. Over one half of the bodice and falling far down the back in sash-like drapery was d combination of pale pink and pale lav- ender chiffon, the sash ending in a deep band of Venetian cut-work, all embroid- cry, in the making of which Mrs. Chat field-Taylor excels. They carried arm bouquets of lavender and pink sweet peas and their broad-trimmed hats of blue straw were trimmed in front with an upstanding bouquet of the lavender and pink sweet peas.
