Miss, the rites being performed by Rabbi Morris Newfield of Birmingham. Miss Held's wedding occurred at Temple Beth-El, on Quin- tard avenue. at 4;30 O clock. The in terior of the temple had been artisti- cally decorated with autumn leaves, goldenrod and yellow chrysanthe- nuns, and the vows were plighted beneath graceful arch, where lighted candles shed a soft glow over the assembled bridal attendants.
 Prior to the entrance of the bridal party, Miss Ida Kline sang very beautifully, "I Love You Truly" ac- companied by Miss Bessie Russell, who presided at the organ, and Mir. Sol Schauer, who accompanied on the violin. As a professional Mendels- sohns wedding march was used, the maids and groomsmen entering from the rear, passing down the side aisles and crossing before the altar take their places and await the com ing of the lovely bride. First came Miss Elsa Swartz and MT. Bernie Haas: Miss Miriam Schauer and Mir. Nathan Springer; Miss Sadie Brod and Mir. Sol Scahuer The young women were all gowned in pretty creations of henna duvetyn, and wore black picture hats and carried arm bouquets of gold chrysanthemums. Tho matron of honor, Mrs. Nathan Springer, sister of the bride, looked unusually beautiful in black Georg- cite and picture hat, carrying an arm bouquet of gold chrysanthemums. She immediately preceded the bride, who entered, leaning on the arm of her brother. MT. Ben Held The bride was attired for travelling in a smart gown of blue cloth trimmed in squirrel with which she wore a chic hat of black, trimmed with monkey fur and her corsage, which com pleted her bridal attire, was of or ehids and valley lilies. Never has she looked more lovely than on her wedding afternoon.
