ceremony were charming in detail.
A special and impressive program
OF appropriate selections was given
by Mr.. Paul Galloway, organist of
the Cathedral, as the guests awaited
the appearance of the wedding
party. During the service at which
Canon Albert H. Lucas, headmaster
of St. Adams School, officiated, the
muted strains of the organ could be
heard. White snapdragons clustered
with greenery formed the floral
motif and tall white tapers dropped
q mellow light over the scene.
The bride was lovely as she walked
10 the chapel rail where the bride
groom stood with his brother, Capt.
Canover Carnes Smith, who served
as his best man. Her gown was
beautiful. 1t was fashioned of ivory
satin made with sweetheart neck
line embroidered with pearls. The
sleeves of the fitted bodice were
long and the skirt gathered at the
waistline fell into a wide sweeping
train. A halo coronet of pearls
held her long veil of illusion in
place and she carried prayer book
with a streamer of white ribbons
festooned with white orchids.
Mrs. Frank Morgan Mayfield,
sister Of the bride, was matron of
honor, and the other attendants
were Miss Joan Stephens, Mrs. H.
Gardner Putnam, daughter of the
late Representative Frank H. Buck
of California; Mrs. Francis Patrick
Kerr, daughter of Representative
and Mrs. John H. Tolan of Cali
fornia. and Mrs. James McAndrews,
whose father is the Delegate from
Hawaii, Mr.. Samuel w. King.
The costumes of the attendants
we're strikingly effective. They
we're made of faille with fitted
basque waists, sweetheart necklines
and gathered skirts. Mrs. May
fields dress was in an amethyst
shade and with it she wore short
veil of hyacinth blue held with
coronet of blue and purple pansies
which corresponded with the flowers
used in her bouquet. The others in
the bridal party were gowned in
hyacinth blue, wore amethyst-color
wells held with pansies and they
carried bouquets similar to that of
the matron of honor.
Leading the wedding procession to
the altar we're the uShers who
earlier had shown the guests to their
places in the chapel. They were 1t
Col. John A. Croghan. Maj. Holman
D. Hoover, Capt. Joseph w. Stanley
and Capt John F. Kerkam.
When the guests arrived at the
club for the reception they found
Representative and Mrs. Carter, the
bride and bridegroom, and their
wedding party, standing to receive
them in the alcove of the ballroom,
which was banked with white flow
erS and greens. Also in the recep-
ton party were Col. and Mrs. Hugh
Carnes Smith, parents of the bride
groom.

Because of the difficulties in

aid Beaver Smith were unable to
come from their home in Woodlake,
