C. Thompson of the same village, which took place Friday evening, March 16. The bride was charming in her ex- quisitely delicate robe de style wedding gown of white taffeta trimmed in diamente, with transparent hem of tulle, a long veil falling from a little lace coronet, in clouds of tulle, caught softly here and there with small sprays of orange blossoms. Her bouquet was of bride's roses, valley lilies, and sweet peas. The setting for this event was the Shawnee Country club and the Rev. Francis Carr Stifler was the officiating clergyman. The hour was 8:30 o'clock in the evening. Miss Virginia Thompson, sister of the groom, was the maid of honor, and the bridesmaids were Miss Mary Louise Fenton of Winnetka, Mrs. Robert Louis Osgood and Miss Wini- fred Metzel of Kenilworth, and Mrs. Granville Revere Lewis, III of Evans- ton. The maid of honor wore a gown of deep peach chiffon, while the brides- maids were in taffeta period gowns of gaslight green and deep peach. The bouquets of the bridal attendants were composed of Ward roses and lavender sweet peas. Mrs. Buckman wore a green beaded gown and Mrs. Thomp- son was in a beaded dress of black and white. The wedding was solemnized before an altar improvised at the east end of the living room with palms and tall candelabra at either side, and a tree of ferns in its center, the top of which was hung heavily with calla lilies, daffodils, and roses. Palms and large floor vases and baskets of pink and white roses were used in further dec- oration of the club. A reception followed the ceremony.
