SOCIETY.
ON NEW YEAR’S NIGHT.
Weddlnu of Ml Hammond to Mr.
Rawer* Wnw Celebrated.
All society's interest yesterday cen
tered in the wedding of Miss Marion
Morrell Hammond to Mr. John Jacob
Rauers, an event which was celebrated
last evening in the Independent Pres
byterian Church.
The high pulpit, decorated with
palms and smilax. made an effective
back-ground for the beautiful scene.
The pillars that uphold it and the
railing above, were twisted around
with vine’ of smilax in which were
fastened innumerable tiny electric
bulbs. Beneath the pulpit and at each
side tail palms were placed, and high
at the front was hung a bell of smilax
lit by many small electric lights that
clustered in the green like bright flow
ers.
While the guests were assembling,
Prof. Wiegand at the organ gave some
delightful numbers, among them
Braga's "Angel's Serenade.” the gav
otte from "Mignon," "The Nun's Pray
er," by Baptiste, an adagio by Liszt,
the “Coronation March,” and the
“Swedish Wedding March.”
The wedding march from “Lohen
grin” was played as processional. As
the usherr passed up the aisle, the
groom ami his best man. Mr. Donald
Hauers, entered from the vestry and
awaited the bride at the right of the
pulpit. The ushers and jroomsmen
'were Mr. Wayne Cunningham, Mr. C.
S. Connerat. Mr. John Hammond, Mr.
Hay I.efforts. Mr. Harry Daniel, Mr.
Harry Raders, Mr. Pierre N. Holst,
Dr. Julian Chisholm. Mr. Louis W.
Haskell, Jr., Mr. Lewis H. Mercer, and
Mr. Paul T. Haskell. Jr.
They were pillowed by the brides
maids, Miss Ethel Bartlett, who walk
ed first, alone. Miss Annie Maclean.
Miss Mary Comer, Miss May dußignon,
Miss Pauline Ferguson, Miss Jennie
English and Miss Alice Sinnickson.
Directly preceding the bride came her
three maids of honor. Miss Hose Bry
nnt. Miss Freda Hauers, and Mrs.
Wayne Cunningham. At the pulpit, the
bridesmaids separated and stood five
at each side, forming a charming cir
cle.
The bride entered with her mother,
by whom she was given away. The
marMage service was performed by
Rev. Dr. Fair, assisted by Rev. Charles
H. Strong, and during the ceremony
“O Perfect Love,” rose softly from
the organ.
When Mr. Strong had pronounced the
benediction the bridal party passed out
of the church to the strains of Men
delssohn's wedding march. In leaving
the church the same order was follow
ed as at entering, except that Miss
Bryant walked with the best man, and
Mrs. Cunningham and Miss Rauers
walked together.
-Xbe bride’s gown was an exquisite
imported creation of point applique, the
skirt formed of two deep flounces of
lace while the upper part Was of the
plainer net. A drapery of lace across
the bodice was caught at the left side
with a knot of tulle and orange blos
soms. The sleeves were simply made,
falling at the elbow into a deep puff
and confined by a narrow cuff of lace,
and were embroidered, as was the
transparent yoke, with a delicate pat
tern in seed pearls, outlining a bow
knot design in lace. The soft fllmi
ness of the tulle veil, with Its spray
of orange blossoms, enhanced the whole
charming effect. The only ornament
worn was a heart-shaped cluster of
diamonds the groom's gift. The bridal
bouquet was of rare orchids and liltes
of-the-vaHey.
The bridesmaids were gowned all
alike in white silk point d’osprit, and
carried bridesmaid’s roses, whose de
licate pink was the only touch of color.
The "owns were decollete, with a
double collar of 'lace, laid in scalloped
flower-like affect, with tiny loops of
white satin ribbon between the two
rows, and puffed elbows sleeves. A
graduated flounce, over which hung
loops of ribbon, finished the skirt,
which had two rows of gathered tucks
above, and a flat shirring around the
hips. In the hair was worn an ai
grette of crystal-spangled marabou
feathers. The maids of honor wore
short veils of tul'ip. and were thus
prettily distinguished.
Mrs. Hammond was gowned in
black net over white chiffon and tnffeta,
with unlined yoke and sleeves, and
a garniture of cut Jet on the corsage.
A wide embroidery of roses outlined
the gores of the skirt, which between
were almost covered with bands of
velvet that were laid bias,- meeting at
the center of each gore and widen
ing from waist to hem.
Mrs. Robert F. Burdell wore a love
ly gown of white crepe de chine, the
skirt made with tine tucks along its
length, curving at the lower edge, with
hand embroidery between. The corsage
had a yoke and under sleeves of Irish
point and was prettily garnitured with
silk applique in the design of grapes.
Mrs. Rauers was gowned in gray
satin, with a panel front embroidered
in cut Jet. and a touch of pink on
the corsage.
Mrs. Charles H. Gibbes wore a robe
of white lace.
Mrs. William O. Morrell was gown
ed in pink silk.
Mrs. M. I>. Nlcholls wore black
crepe de chine.
After the wedding a reception was
held at Mrs. Hammond's home on For
syth Park and many people called
during the evening to offer congratula
tions. The bride and groom stood at
.the south end of the long drawing
room. which had been simply and very
beautifully adorned for the occasion
with quantities of bridesmaids roses.
Palms were placed in the recesses
against the windows, and on the man
tel were many delicate maidenhair
ferns. On a low table that stood near
the receiving party was a jar filled
with roses, and here and there through
the room were vases of the lovely pink
flowers.
In very charming contrast was the
dining room, done in white anfl gr/n,
with fragrant white carnations Tor
decoration. Crystal can#dabra, with
green and silver shades, were placed
at each end of the table, shedding soft
light over glass and shining silver, and
across the snowy damask were laid
garlands of smllax, surrounding the
wedding cakes. In the center was a
bowl filled with carnations, and around
it a soft mass of tulle wreathed about
with smllax, the pretty vine upheld by
tiny bisque figures of dancing girls.
The wedding gifts wpi* displayed up
stairs in a /room set apart for the
purpose. They - t.ere of unusual beaiV
ty, comprising many of rare design and
workmanship. From the bride's moth

softness to their light. Where the

On the other hand, the weather con
ditions were not conducive to good re
sults, and the scores were but medi
ocre. Everybody was glad of an op
portunity to twit his neighbor, and,
all in good feeling, many jokes were
enjoyed at the expense of those who
made hapless shots. Oysters, sand
wiches, beer and other good things,
served on the grounds, contributed in
large measure to the enjoyment of the
shoot.
Fifteen Gobbler* Won.
Fifteen of the big holiday birds were
shot for. two methods of securing the
coveted fowl being employed in the
shoot. Nine of them fell to those w’ho
were so unerring in their aim, or per
sistent in their good fortune, as to
bring the bird to earth, while the other
six were given as prizes in the target
contest.
The turkey shoot proper was the most
enjoyable feature of the day's pleasure.
The entrance fee to the shoot was 25
cents, which entitled each contestant
to 6 shots, but before half of the shots
had been fired, the gobblers had all
been copped out. Those who did not
get a turkey, of course, had a gootj
excuse. The head and neck of the
bird comprised the target, the distance
being 100 yards. And the heads look
ed remarkably small through the
sights of a rifle.
Turkey llnng Himself.
The plan to shoot at the live bird
was first adopted, but was abandoned
w'hen, in his vain endeavor to free
himself from suspense, the gobbler
committed suicide before any one had
been fortunate enough to end his life
for him. Mr. S. E. Theus. associa
tion artist, then drew a silhouette of
a turkey's head, which was afterwards
used instead of the real article.
' Those wlio hit the turkey’s head,
and were awarded a bird for their
successful efforts, were, Capt. W. G.
Austin, Mr. D. B. Haynes, Capt. H.
E. Wilson, Mr. Edward Mercer, Mr.
W. N. Nichols, Mr. A. S. Nichols, Major
W. M. Coney, Mr. Wright Hunter, and
Mr. C. B. Fetzer.
Other* Who Won Bird*.
The contestants in the target match
were divided into five classes, the med
al and four other glasses. Ten shots
were fired at each of the two short
range targets, the 200 and 300. In all
except the second class the contests
were close, the winners in the medal
class and first class winning on the
inverse order, and the wgners of the
third and fourth classes Tanning by a
single point. The correct scores are:

AT THE THEATER
Standing room was at a premium at
yesterday’s matinee. The house was
packed and many were unable to gain
admittance. “The Country Girl” was
the presentation, and was liberally ap
plauded.
Almost as large an audience attended
the performance last night, and en
joyed “Roxana's Claim,” which was
the bill. ,
To-night the company will present
“A Brother’s Sin.” To-morrow night
“Under Two Flags," will be the at
traction. “Triss” will be presented at
the matinee on Saturday.
Manager Seesklnd, acting on instruc
tions from Daniel V. Arthur, who is
directing the Kelcey-Shannon tour, has
decided to sell no more than six seats
to any one person for the performance
of "Sherlock Holmes” on Jan. 6. Of
course, exceptions will be made in case
of large theater parties or to peilons
personally known to Manager Sees
kind.
Otis Skinner will be seen Jan. 8 In
“Lazarre,” the new play which he and
Aubrey Boucicault have made from
Mary Catherwood’s romance. Its theme,
that of the mystery of the lost Bour
bon Prince, is entirely worthy of Mr.
Skinner's ability as a playwright and
actor of romantic roles. The scenic
environment is one of the most ar
tistic ever presented by the careful
producer. There is one setting, that
of “Lazarre's" tepee in the moonlight
on the shores of Lake George, which
approaches perfection in the way of
stage illusions. The story of the play
follows with reasonable fidelity, the
widely read book.
Associated with Mr. Skinner Is a
competent company of players Includ
ing Nannette Comstock, Maud Dur
bin, Walter Allen, and Joseph Weaver,
