"You must wear your rue with a
difference. According to William
Shakespeare, Ophelia said it some years
ago at the royal court of Denmark but
it was the order of the day at the
marriage of Miss Eleanore Casey and
Arthur j. Schmitz, which was solem-
nized in the incenseladen fragrance
of st. James Church at ten-thirty
O'Clock this morning.
Everything was done "with a
difference" 1T was the same ceremony
with the same attributes but they were
combined with a whimsicality and
charm that reflected the personality
and beauty of the bride as we'll as the
artistic efficiency of the groom.
Everywhere orchid lavender and
white bespoke the courtship flowers =,
violets and hlies-of- the-valley, and
lent haze of quiet brilliancy to the
solemnity Of 'tstoried windows richly
digit" and white-robed priests moving
austerely in an atmosphere of religious
festivity and nuptial impressiveness
Bouquets of sweet-peas and orchids
gave touch of brighter coloring that
fecked the lilac mist with tints of
wistaria, pink, and softened gold,
Preceding the ceremony Harry Hill
sang because" and cat Dawning".
The sentiment of the songs feelingly
interpreted by tenor voice of rare
sweetness and power made the selec-
tions an admirable prelude for the
solemn nuptial high mass which was
impressively pronounced by Rev. R. S..
Smith, assisted by Rev. w. d. Malone,
Rev. J. w. Bott, and Rev. j. j. Conway.
To the inspiring music of Chopin 3
"Nocturne" the bridal procession
moved maiestically down an aisle,
thanked with clusters of fern and
narcissi and vines of smilax and lilies
trailing gracefully about the crooks of
shepherds slaves. Led by the ushers,
Walter M. Burke, Joseph V. Duffy, and
Eugene G. Saftig, the nuptial retinue
took its place before the chancel rail
with a stateliness and dignity appro-
pirate to the deep solemnity of the
occasion. Thereafter the bride and
groom approached the altar with their
special attendants and awaited the
singing of the nuptial mass.
Miss Casey, leaning on the arm of
her father, who gave her away, was
charmingly lovely in gown of white
chiffon velvet trimmed with cob-web
lace of silver that shone and shimmered
beneath tulle veil caught with chin
strap of pearls. She carried bouquet
of orchids and hllies-of- the-valley
that gave touch of lavender and
green to the snowy beauty Of the bridal
dress. She was preceded by little Hope
Marie Wells, as fower-girl, and follow
ed by Master Edward Crossin, who
in trousers of white-satin and Elton
Jacket of black velvet carefully
guarded the brides train.
The maid OF honor, Miss Isabel Wells,
wore creation of Frerch gray geor-
gette embroidered with silver beads in
cob-web designs, and carried diretoire
stick adorned with the "courtship
flowers, violets and lilies-of- the-valley.
The bridesmaids, Miss Gertrude Senne,
Miss Rhea Alleman, and Miss Florence
Arneson, were beautiful in gowns of
orchid lavender satin, enhanced by
corsages of white sweet peas and
crownless hats of Lavender tulle. Each
of them carried frilled muff of
satin covered with fuffed chiffon and
silver ribbons.
The groom in conventional frock
coat was led to the altar by his brother,
Earl Schnitz of Cleveland. The other
men in the retinue, including the
ushers aud Richard O'Donnell, who
acted as master of ceremonies, also
wore frock coats with buttonieres of
white gardenias.
During the singing of the solemn
nuptial high mass Mr.. Hill assisted by
the st. James choir, sang o Salutaris' ,
TO the music Of GA Dream'' and
"Benedictus to the moving melody
of Meditation The bridal party
left the church to the strains of Men
delssohn Is wedding March, which
furnished fitting finale to the i'm
pressive services.
