In the chancel was a profusion of palms, whilst the altars were decorated with roses. On the signal that the bridal party had arrived the soul-stirring strains of Meyerbeer's "Coronation March" were heard and the entry began, first walking walk-ing the four ushers, Ruel G. Halloran, Ernest H. Hill, Alvatis Mayne and Bernard Ber-nard Richardson. Then came the four bridesmaids dressed similarly in dainty-gowns dainty-gowns of pink satin with elaborate trimmings of pink chiffon, and each wearing a hat to match, and the girlish skirts being prettily set off by pink slipers and stockings and each carrying carry-ing pink ryses. They were Miss Margaret Marga-ret Dunn, Miss Mildred Eccles, Miss Lillian Lane and Miss Mercy Lewis. The maid of honor, Miss Florence Halloran, Hal-loran, came next. She was gowned like the bridesmaids. Then came the bride with her father W. J. Halloran. From the vestry walked Mr. Sowles and his best man, Walter Folland, and at the chancel they met the advancing party and all knelt reverently while from the gallery ' floated down the strains of the "Ave Maria" by Gounod. tuary Right Rev. Laurence Scanlan, the bishop of the diocese, who was assisted as-sisted by Rev. Father W. K. Ryan and Rev. Father A. J. Guinan, president of and the bishop, wearing his full pontifl-All pontifl-All Hallows. Twenty acolytes followed cal robes, walked to the railing, where he performed the ceremony, the music softly rendered being "Salve Maria," by Mercandante.
