Wedding in Glencoe Has Unusual T ouch of the Renaissance One of the most unusual and beau- tiful weddings ever held on the north shore took place Wednesday evening at St. Elisabeth's church, Glencoe, when Miss Mary Worthington became the bride of Alfredo Mazzarella. The service was read by the Rev. John K. Coolidge, rector of the church, and Dr. Hubert Carleton, an old friend of the family and rector of St. Augustine's church, Wilmette. They were assisted by two acolytes, William Baehr, Jr. and Frederick Reinhold, both of Glen- coe. The church still had its Christ- mas candelabra at the end of each pew, and the pine and spruce decora- tions were still there. For the wed- ding service, calla lilies and other white flowers were added to the decorations. The bride's gown was a period one of velvet and tulle, The bodice, of white transparent velvet, was tight fitting. On each shoulder was a group of small flowers made of mother of pearl. Their silver stems were woven into the bodice, curving down almost to the waist. The skirt was short in front, but the back was so long as to form a short train. It was fashioned of many tiers of pleated tulle. The cap veil was banded in silver. Its edge was outlined in silver and fell over the shoulders with the 'effect of a cape. On the back of it was a large motif of cloth of silver, outlined in pearls. Orange blossoms made of ivory hung from the corner of the cap to the shoulder. The bride carried a shower bouquet of white gardenias and lilies of the valley. Miss Edith Bullen, Miss Lorraine Thoms, Miss Dorothy Joy, and Miss Jule Lester, the bridesmaids, wore per- 10d gowns of silver-blue velvet. The full skirts formed trains in the back and reached the ankles in front, The skirts were split to the knee at the right side and faced with shell pink chiffon velvet. The collars, rolled high, were likewise faced with the pink velvet. The maid of honor, Miss Wilma Cresmer, reversed this color scheme, wearing pink velvet faced and collared in blue. She wore pink satin pumps and a Juliet cap of pearls. The bridesmaids' head-dresses were bands of pearl, and their pumps were of blue satin. All of the attendants carried shower bouquets of pink Lady Julia roses and small blue flowers that re- sembled forget-me-nots. Nearly 250 guests attended the ser- vice. at the church, and about 150 of these went on to the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Clarence D. Worthington, for the reception. The house was filled with Lady Julia roses, and the sun-porch, where the guests were received, was banked with south- ern smilax, Mr. and Mrs. Mazzarella will sail January 17, for Italy, stopping on their way at Algiers and other points. They will not reach their home until about February 15. The ship that carries them to their new home is the Colom- bo, the one on which they met when Miss Worthington's mother was tak- ing her to Europe a year ago this summer.
