The marriage of Miss Josephine Hotchkiss, daughter
of Horace L. Hotchkiss, the banker, to Waldron
Williams yesterday noon in All Souls' Church was one
of the most notable social events thus far during
this season. Miss Hotchkiss is very popular in
fashionable New York circles, and Mr.. Williams is
an alumnus of Columbia College of the class of '85
and a well-known member of the University Club.
Consequently the wedding was a large one, and the
church at Madison Avenue and Sixty-sixth Street
barely accommodated all the guests. About 2,000
invitations had been sent out. The chancel was
banked with palms, and great bunches of
chrysanthemums were on the altar. The music, which
was Wagnerian in character, was conducted by R. H.
Warren, a friend of the groom. The bride entered the
main aisle with her father as Mr. Warren played the
"Lohengrin" processional. She wore a handsome white
gown of heavy satin, trimmed with embroidered
chiffon. Her veil was of tulle.
Following the bride came the maid of honor, Miss
Grace O'Hara, dressed in white Bengaline trimmed
with pearls and wearing a large white felt hat with
pink and white plumes. The bridesmaids were Miss E.
R. Watson, Miss Gertrude Riker, Miss Alice Hunt,
Miss M. Louise Major, Miss Clara Rich, and Miss
Clara Hotchkiss, the bride's sister. They all wore
lovely gowns of Persian white crepe trimmed with
pearl bowknots, and large brown felt hats with pink
and brown plumes. Each carried a bunch of pink
chrysanthemums.
At the chancel rail the bride was met by the Rev.
Dr. R. Heber Newton, the rector of all Souls', and
the groom with his best man, Richard Riker. The
ushers were Stephen H. Brown, Eugene Southack,
Charles H. Shaw, Evert Jansen Wendell, J. Bloomfield
Harriot, and Horace L. Hotchkiss, Jr., the bride's
brother.The services at the church were followed

were married last night at the home of the bride's
brother-in-law, Prof. D.D. Herring of the University

bride, performed the ceremony. George A. Meekins,
the groom's brother, was the best man, and the bride
