Vested Choir Sings at Wedding of Emily Scott One of the most beautiful weddings in the Winnetka Congregational church was that of Emily Carol Scott, whose marriage to Frank Langdon Hubbard, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank W. Hubbard of Grosse Point, Mich, took place last Saturday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. The service was read by the Rev. James Austin Richards before the lily- banked altar and walls of southern smilax through which only the stained glass window above the music loft was visible. The white robed choir of St. Augustine's Episcopal church, with hymnals encased in scarlet leather, sang the wedding march and St. Anselm's wedding song, "O Love Divine and Golden." The entire church edifice was light- ed only by clusters of three tall cathedral candles in tall wrought iron 'holders placed at each pew and in each window, with two larger candelabra at either side of the altar. The bride was attired in shimmer- ing cream chiffon velvet, soft and lustrous, with old rose point lace that has been in the family for many years, a conventional court train, and veil of tulle. Gardenias and valley lilies com- posed her bouquet. The gowns of the attendants, Miss Isabel Scott, maid of honor, Mrs. Donald Welles, matron of honor, and the five maids, Miss Edith Fairbanks, Miss Louise Tyler, Miss Joan Stuart, Miss Laura Towne of Washington, and Miss Romaine Warren of Detroit, were of flame-color taffeta fashioned with bouffant skirts short in front, long in back. Their slippers were of flame-color satin, their hats of brown tulle and velvet, and they carried bou- auets of sunset roses and mixed flowers. The bride's mother, Mrs. Frederick Scott, wore black and gold chiffon, and her grandmother, Mrs. Robert Cluett, was in black velvet.
