fast At Brides Home.

Something Of the romance of war
and all Of the glamor Of June, made
the marriage OF Miss May Mcnamara
and Lieutenant Pal r. Mccain, solem-
nized in the fowere5 silence of ST..
James Church at eight-thirty o'clock
this morning, one of the most dis
tinctive society events of the early
summer season.
The Rev. r. s. Smith oficiated and
sang the nuptial mass with unusual
dignity and impressiveness.
The church was charmingly decorated
for the wedding with greenery and
flowers in shades of delicate rose and
white. Allied flags at the entrance
and ushers in olive drab gave the
necessary military touch to the func-
tion and suggested the World-War in
which the groom had distinguished
himself. The June time atmosphere
was still further given by clusters of
ferns and peonies along the aisle that
led to the candle-lighted sanctum be-
ycnd the chancel rail.
Following an exquisite vocal inter
probation Of Cadman IS g At Dawningo
by Mrs. Edna Starr, the wedding pro-
cession entered the church to the
music of the Coronation March 4
artistically played by Professor Ed
ward Mccartney.
The bride was witchingly lovely in a
gown of white georgette over white
brocaded satin. She wore veil
caught with orange blossoms and car
ried shower bouquet Of white roses
and lilies Of the valley. She was at
tended by her sister, Miss Cathie
Mcnamara, who was becomingly dress
ed in acreation Of pink georgette over
pink satin enhanced by corsage clus-
ter Of pink roses, sweet-peas, and
lavender bachelor s buttons.
The groom was militarily chic in a
uniform Of olive drab set off with the
insignia Of his rank in carven bronze
and silver. He was escorted to the
altar by Lieutenant Frank Rainey, of
Chicago, brother Of Congressman

illinois district in tie national House
Of representatives.
Captain Joseph r. Wilson, purchase
and supply officer at Camp Funston,
Kansas, and Walter M. Burke of Keno
sba, acted as ushers at the wedding.
Following the ceremony, a charming
wedding breakfast was served at the
home of the BRIDES mother, Mrs. Katie
Mcnamara of 455 Park street. APP
pointments here, as at the church, were
in delicate rose and white with touches
of red, white, blue, and gold given by
clusters of Allied flags. Ferns, palms,
peonies, pink roses, and pansies,
featured the floral decorations for the
luncheon. Covers were laid for forty
guests.

mornings wedding, is one Of the most
lovely and brilliant young women in
