tady, occurred last night at the Church
of the Advent in the presence OF large
and fashionable assembly.
The church was brilliantly Illuminated
and elaborately decorated for the cere-
mony and long before the appointed hour
the sound of approaching motors and
carriages gave to the street in whose vi
cinity are several popular clubs sound
of revelry; and above the hum of voices
as the guests approached the church,
rang out the tones of the nuptial music
played by Prof. Fred L. Sirambs while
awaiting the coming of the bride.
The Church of the Advent has had
many stately and beautiful weddings;
its length of aisle and dignifed decora-
ton make it peculiarly suitable for a
nuptial incident. Last night it was law
ishly adorned with palms and flowers
Smilax banked the long windows at
either side and in front OF the altar stood
tall brass vases filed with white roses
Twelve pews at either side of the CEN
trail aisle were set apart with white
cords for the guests who afterward

Of the bride, who completed the list of
groomsmen and bridesmaids.
The bridesmaids composed a charming
group of young women. Their gowns
were the filmy frothy CONNECTIONS which
denote the summer girl. Made of shadow
lace and chiffon they were draped en-
traine over the softest of white charm
euse. And their bouquets. made of large
clusters of maidenhair fern, with show
ers of sweet peas tied with tulle, were
as airy and summerlike as their gowns
The bridesmaids and groomsmen were
followed to the altar by two dainty lit

similar costume. came in just behind lit
tie Miss Leedy. Both carried baskets
filed with white sweet peas and ferns
Mrs Joseph Mudd Walker, a sister of
the bridegroom, whose marriage occurred
not long ago in the same church, walked
down the aisle matron of honor in
stead of bride. The only difference in
her appearance last night and on the
other occasion was the absence of her
wedding veil-for she wore her wedding
gown, magnificent robe with bodice
composed of rose point lace and chiffon
Her bouquet was similar to that carried
by the bridesmaids except that the flow
ers which composed the shower were
lilies of the valley

She was extremely pretty in a gown made

of lilies. of the valley.

caught over one shoulder and gracefully
twined across the back to the opposite
MP, railing finally In diaphanous drap-
cry almost to the end of the train, where
an elaborate motif of seed pearls was
embroidered. The bodice was composed
chiefly OF chiffon and lace, and an orna-

the skirt completed its attractive trim
ming. Her veil was made of tulle bor-
dered in real lace, caught on a de Medici
cap OF some race lace and confined with
wreath of orange blossoms. She car

valley lilies.
The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. DR.. Thomas Beard, and as the bride

blessing there were many tender thoughts
