Caulfield played the Lo- hengrin wedding march and the Mendelssohn march as it retired. The profusion of the floral decorations of the chapel made one feel that some of the abounding shrubs and flowers from without bad made the'r way into the interior. Immediately after the ceremony the wedding party walked back to the home of the bride, and soon the house was filled with her many friends and not a few of the groom's, Mise Bessie Seott Smith, who has spent the winter and spring with relatives here, left this | morning for New York. where sbe will spend a week with her sister.
