Rev. L. S. Fulmer of the First Presbyterian church of Montclaire, N.J., former pastor of the Lafayette Square church of this city, officiated. The floral decorations were almost exclusively of dahlias. In front of the pulpit was a large arch of these pink and white blossoms, under which the bride and groom passed while the ceremony was performed under an immense bell constructed of the same flowers. The artistically arranged background of potted dahlias and palms greatly added to the general effect. The bridesmaids formed in front of the pulpit and walked down the aisle, meeting the bride as she entered with her father and preceded her to the head of the church, where she met the groom, attended by his best man, Meade Rippard, brother of the bride. The bride's gown was of acolian cloth trimmed with duchess lace and was over silk. Her veil was of tulle and she carried white dahlias tied with white ribbons. The maid of honor, Miss Helen Watkins Rippard, sister of the bride wore white silk mull, trimmed with white lace, a pink crepe de chine sash, and she carried white dahlias, tied with pink ribbons. The ring-bearer, Miss Wilhelmina Newell Rippard, the little 7 year old cousin of the bride, wore Paris muslin. The bridesmaids wore white organdie trimmed with white ribbon and they carried pink dahlias tied with white ribbons. They were Miss Clara Clyntonia Grapel, Miss Sallye Mae Boyd, Miss Gertrude Spence and Miss Laura J. McKinley. The ushers were Eugene H. Sapp, Tazwell H. Thomas and Frank I. Remmell and H. Raymond-Shaver, both of Kingston, Pa. After the ceremony a reception was held in the home of the bride's father and later in the evening the couple left for a wedding journey. Among the out-of-town guests were: Mrs. W.H. Shaver and Miss Emily Tye of Kingston, Pa.; Miss Susan C. Hunt, of Wilkes-Barre; Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Twaddell of Philadelphia: Miss Emily Clotworthy, of New York; Senor Frederico Vall-Spinosa of San Juan, Porto Rico; Mr. and Mrs. M. V. Richards of Washington; and Mrs. L. S. Fulmer, of Montclaire, N.
