WINNETKA TALK October. 23, 1926 Marshall Studio Is Betty Marshall Weds Richard Fleming in Green Studio Garden By JEAN TEN BROECK With the: apparent waning of the autumn wédding season, comes a mar- riage with a setting unusual. Again, as upon the occasion of her debut not long ago, the doors of the studio-home of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin H. Marshall, a spot now noted, on the edge of the lake at the Wilmette Harbor, opened to members of the beau monde of Chi- cago and the entire north shore from Evanston to Lake Forest. For on Wednesday evening at 8, Miss Betty Marshall became the bride of Richard Hill Fleming, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey B. Fleming of the South Shore Country club. Dr. Albert Mac- Cartney read the service in the garden of the studio, dotted with its high palms and banana trees, at the edge of the long pool, grass edged with stone walks i 1 throughout, affording glimpses of balconied windows, reminiscent of Spain, of nooks typical of south sea islands, and of the distant Orient. Miss Marshall was a dainty bride in her gown of white velvet embroidered in pearls. Her tulle veil was held in place by a Dutch cap of point lace studded in pearls. She carried a bou- quet of orchids and valley lilies. With the exception of the maid of honor, Miss Dorothy Marshall, who was at- tired in a frock of pink chiffon and carried a leghorn hat filled with flowers, the bridal attendants, Mrs. Edwin L. Brashears. and Mrs. James Marr, matrons of honor, and the four brides- maids, Miss Alice Ransom, Miss Vir- ginia Vilas, Miss Jane Shuttler and Miss Emily Martin, were in dresses: of pink taffeta made in period style. They wore hats of pink felt, and car- ried pink roses and larkspur.. Harvey Fleming served as best man for his brother, and Edwin L. Brashears, Benjamin H. Marshall, Jr., James Marr, Lewis Walton, Robert Lay and Don Bowey ushered. At 8:30 o'clock, Mr. and Mrs. Mar- shall were host and hostess at a wed- ding reception. Both the living room, where music played, and the large stu- dio, where refreshments were served, cast forth: the same charm of the un- usual that permeates the entire abode. Mr. Fleming and his bride depart- ed immediately afterwards for their wedding trip, their destination at this time unknown.
