through which the bridal party passed
:, the altar. and the chancel was
b.nked with feathery palms, pink and
white hydrangeas and ferns, above
wh;eh lowered fruit trees in blossoms.

Of organ and vocal music.
The organist, T. Tertius Noble, who
was formerly the orcaniSt OF York
Cathedral in England. played the Prize
Song from the "Meistersinger,' and as
the bride and her attendants entered
the church the choir sang the bridal
chorus from "Lohengrin." She walked
with her father. who gave her away. and
never looked more attractive than in
her wonderful wedding gown Of beau
tiful old lace. the pattern of which was
entirely covered with an embroidery Of
pearls and crystals. Following the
mode Of the moment, the skirt was
fairly short and was made entirely OF
the lace, which served as an excuse for
the pearl and diamente embroidery
The bodice also was made Of pearl
waist with a girdle made Of rope OF
pearls, arranged at the left side with
a spray of orange blossoms and white
sweetpees.
The long court train, which fell in
unusually graceful lines from the
shoulder, was bordered with pearl and
crystal embroidery, orange blossoms
and lilies valley, and over it fell
her veil Of point applique lace, draped
around the face and fastened with a
bandeau OF orange blossoms, which fell
in pendant ornaments on each side. In
stead OF bouquet she carried an ivory
prayer book with flower marker, and
wore a chain of diamonds.

of George f. Baker, had her two sis

Her youngest sister, Miss Winifre'd
Loew, was her flower girl and her two
little cousins, Florence and Edith
Baker, daughters of Mr. and Mrs.
George F. Baker jr., also attended her.
The bridesmaids wore frocks Of
Feach-colored Georgette, trimmed with
cream-tlnted lace, which made two
deep ruffies on the skirt, the upper
ones suggestive Of an overdress. The
oodlces were also of lace, made with
elbow sleeves and were set off with
glrd!es Of French blue satin, with
streamers which touched the ground.
4helr mats OF white tulle were trimmed
with large, dark blue flowers, and they
carried bouquets of pink and white
snapdragon and delphinium. They all
wore the brides gifts. hat pins of plat
