Social Events of Prominence in this City

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.
