  pearl trimings, and carried a bouquet of bride's roses, while the groom was 
  attired in conventional black.

     After the ceremony an elaborate collation was served under the direction of 
  Mrs. Adelaide Pinney, sister of the bride.  The bride's table, of ten covers, 
  was beautifully decorated with smilax and carnations, pink and white being the 
  prevailing colors.
