of Mr. and Mrs. Frank W. Bacon, was
united in marriage with Mr. Walter

RevT. J. Mackay officiating. White
chrysanthemums tied with fluffy
white tulle bows were used on the
pews.' On the altar was a mass of
huge white chrysanthemums and can
dles. The choir loft was banked sol
idly with palms. For half an hour
before the ceremony Mr. Simms gave
an -organ recital. Then, to the Lohen
grin wedding march, the bridal party
entered.
The ushers, who preceded. the wed
ding party, were Mr. Roger Keeline
and Mr. Harry Koch, Mr. Robert
Howe and Mr. John Singleton Sweit
zer, Mr. Joseph Lefevre of Washing

matron of honor, Mrs. Dwight Den
mead of Marshalltpwn, la. Little
Jamie McMullen came next in order,
bearing the ring on a tiny white satin
piUow. Then came the bride, on the
arm of her father.
: The bride's gown was of white
radium satin, draped with chiffon and
tulle and caught in panniers on the side,
with bunches of orange blossoms and
lilies of the valley. The bodice was
embroidered solidly with seed pearls,
made decollete and with a square neck
in front and back. Angel sleeves of
chiffon, caught at the elbow with a
tiny design of seed pearls, completed
the bodice. From the empire waist
'line (ell the court train of satin, four
and a half yards long, unlined, and
finished near the end with a wonder
ful true lovers' knot worked in seed
pearls and caught with applfqued
flowers of tulle and satin, which ex
tended for half a yard. A billowy
bridal veil of tulle extended the length
of the train. It was held only across
the back of the head with orange
blossoms and extended above the
band in a princess, frill. The bride's
bouquet was a shower of lilies of the
valley tied with tulle. She wore white
satin slippers with colonial buckles of
rhinestones. Her only ornament was
a dinner ring of platinum set with one
large pear-shaped diamond, surround
by two rows of tiny diamonds, which
was a gift of Mr. Penfield, and had
been designed by himself and his
bride. .,, ,.
The motron of honor, the brides
maids and the little flower girls wore
gowns very similar in design. Mrs.
Dwight Denmead was gowned in pink
satin with a bodice of silver lace em
broidered in pearls and an overskirt
of silver lace. The train fell from the
empire waistline. A hat of dove gray
tulle -with straight brim completed
the costume. She carried a basket hat
covered with dove gray satin,-filled
with pink snapdragons and tied with
pink tulle bows.
The bridesmaids' gowns were crea
tions of pink satin and chiffon-over
cloth of silver. The bodices were em
broidered with rhinestones and pearls.
Tiny bands of chiffon crossed the
shoulders and were continued in tiny
drop-shoulder sleeves. The necks were
cut square. Two trains of chiffon, one
long and beautifully embroidered with
a spray of flowers, fell from the em
pire waistline. A girdle of pink'silver
tissue finished the waistlines. Their
hats were slightly floppy picture mod
els of gray tulle peaked behind and
finished with streamers of gray and
trimmings of pink ribbons, and tiny
pink roses. All wore pink'satin slip
pers and hose, and each carried a
shepherdess crook wouna with dove
gray satin ribbon and finished at the
top with a huge bouquet of pink, snap
dragons and lilies of the valley,
The little flower girts wore frocks
of pink satin, exact miniatures of the
bridesmaids' dresses, and carried pe
tite shepherdess crooks, just like those
carried by the young women. Master
James McMullen wore a white satin
suit with cape effect on the blouse..
The bride's mother was gowned in
pink satin, draped with pink and gray
chiffon. The bodice was hand em
broidered in rhinestones, and she wore
an exquisite corsage of orchids and
lilies of the valley- ' i

baskets of roses were all around the
house. The fireplace . and mantel
