socially prominent in their respective
communities.
A representative assemblage of
Americas society folk attended the
nuptials, historic Calvary church be-
ing profusely decorated for the happy
event. The lavish use of rare and beau
tiful tropic ferns transformed the in
terror of the quaint edifice into ver1t-
able bower of floral beauty, tall lighted
tapers, placed at alternate pews down

glow to the scene presented Tall
white, ivy-entwined standards were u.s.

chancel and around the great pipe or

ed the marriage vows formed rarely
beautiful background to the floral set
ting of the church interior.

from the Lee street front. 30 Perfect
