The room in which the wedding took place was beautifully decor- ated for the occasion with chrysanthemums, pink and white roses and smilax. After the ceremony, and greetings had been ex- changed, the company sat down to a re- cherche wedding dinner. The presents were numerous and pretty, among them be- ing a pearl pin from the groom.
