Where all the women buy
their Art Outlines and Em-p

We’ve always thought that
we had the most artistic and
choicest designs and now we
know it—they tell us so}
Take any pleasant afternoon
and you’ll find some of the
very best judges of such work
at the art department busy
with their selections. Are
you a judge?

The only really new fea-
ture about Jackets and Furs
is the way they are. selling.
Women have ,_‘ caught on,’ as
the expression goes, that this
is the place to buy and the
consequence is we’re doing
the business. . Simple as sit-
tingin a chair. ’ ’

A lady and her husband
bought a handsome Carpet
day before yesterday he
looked on—and when the
transaction was closed he re-
marked to us “You’ve got
the carpet business down to
an absolute seience.” It was
one of the finest epinpliments
ever paid us, coming as it did.

 

 

One of the pleasures of a
visit to this store is I quiet
stroll through the Linen and
Crockery departments in the
basement. They are so near
each other that it’s no trou-
ble to find your entire table

What’s better, you can afford

Miss Edith Rdckefeller Becomes Mrs.

THE BRIDEGROOM QUITE ILL.

Unable to Meet His Bride at the Chnreb,
the Milliénaird’s Daughter Came to
Him—Church Ceremony “Ins
Intended to Be Elaborate.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-—-Because of the
illness of the bridegroom and the solemn
warning of his physicians a sudden
change was made in the plans for the
wedding of Miss Edith Rockefeller and
Harold McCormick of Chicago, which was
to have taken place at the Fifth Avenue
Baptist church at noon today.

Miss Rockefeller is the daughter of
John D. Rockefeller, the master of the
immense oil product of America and head
of the Standard Oil company, who is esti-
mated to be worth $160,000,000. She is,
therefore, the greatest heiress in Amer-
ica. Her father has given $7,000,000t0
the Chicago university and other millions

to the upbuilding of the Baptist church,
to which he and his forty-millionaire
brother, William Rockefeller, and their
families belong, and preparations for the
marriage of Miss Rockefeller to the son of
one of Chicago’s wealthiest families had
been going on for weeks, regardless of the
cost. .,

Instead of the happygeials of thawed;

ding bells, instead In £6116 elements blis-

tle of the splendid equipages of fashion
and wealth trundling up to the door of
the Fifth Avenue Baptist church, instead
of the impressive music of the wedding
march and the triumphs] parade of the
bride and her retinue of maids up to the
altar through the bower of floral beauty,
while a. host of friends and relatives
looked on in admiration from the pews—
instead of all this, a quiet gathering of
the bride and her immediate family in the
sickroom of the bridegroom at the Hotel
Buckingham and a ceremonial of mar-
riage, subdued and made very, very quiet,
10 as not to excite the feverish patient
or undo the work of the healers, who
have been striving to build him up in
preparation for his marriage. '

The Groom’s Illness.

It is only four blocks from the Buck-
ingham to the mansion oquohn D. Rocke-
feller, the father of the bride, at 4 West
Fifty-fourth stieet. It is only four blocks
from the Buckingham to the Fifth avenue
Baptist church at Forty-sixth street.

Harold F. McCormick, scion of the Chi-
cago house founded by old Cyrus McCor-
mick, the inventor of a mowing and reap-
ing machine that earned millions for him,
came from Chicago with his mother a
month ago, and they took up their abode
at the Buckingham so as to be near the
bride elect.

' Last Thursday the bridegroom caught a
severe old, which developed into pleurisy.
For three days he was unable to leave his
room, but then it was thought that he
would be sufficiently recovered to be mar-
ried in the church today, as announced,
and the preparations for the wedding
went on accordingly. .

The preparations were under the direct
supervision of Miss Rockefeller, and it
was whispered that, while this Would dif-
fen widely from the Vanderbilt-Marl-
borough and the Whitney-Paget weddings,
it would be an elaborate and beautiful
but exceedingly tasteful church wedding,
quite original in its carrying out. a

More than 1,000 invitations had been
sent Out, and more than 100 of the invited
guests had arrived from Chicago, Cleve-
land, Baltimore and other points, when
Drs. Janeway, MoCosh and James, ‘the
physicians in attendance upon Mr. Mc-
Cormick, after a. long consultation yester-

day, reluctantly arrived at the conclusion
that it wOuld be hazardous for the patient
to risk the excitement, the physical strain
and the unpropiticus weather by going
through the ordeal of the church wedding.
The Bride's Pretty Idea.

the bridal precession might advance to _

the altar in the Fifth Avqpue Baptist
church. The pulpit is on a h gh platform
at one end of the church and the organ

and choir loft is very high up at the other .

end.

, An immense Gothic window of stained
gla'ss almost fills one end of the church
and reaches to the roof. An immense arch
was constructed of flowers (in a plan pro-
port-ionate to this window. A half dozen
pews ware removed from the front of the
church, and in their place a. large circular
platform or dais was built, approached by

steps that went clear round the stage. In -

the center of this stage was the Gothic
arch of palms and pink‘chrysanthemums.
flanked‘by screens of palm leaves lobsely

interwoven.
From small doors on either side the

bridesmaids would issue Qngly, meet un- ‘

dcr the bridal arch and descending the en‘
circling steps, two by two, to the right aisle
walk down the aisle to the rear door of
the church. where they would receive the
bride and escort her to the platform.

This idea was conceived and planned by
Miss Rockefeller and is quite. unique. in
the history of New York weddings. But
it and all the other splendors had to be

given up, and in place of the splendor of ._

a church wedding the wealthiest bride of
1895 and one of America’s greatest heir-
asses was asked to decide on a marriage
in a sickroom.

The physicians said, however, that the
efiect might be just as disastrous if the
marriage were postponed and advised
that the ceremony go on today, the scene
being shifted to the Hotel Buckingham
and the witnesses limited to the few who
were entitled by claims of blood relation-
ship to see the union of these two young
people.

So messages were hurriedly dispatched
to those of the invited guests who lived in
town or could be reached in time, recall-
ing theinvitations.

Forty florists who had nearly completed
the work of transforming the interior of
Dr. Faunce’s sanctuary into a grotto of
flowers were told to leave off their work,
and far into the night there were consul-
tations and perplexed planning about the
necessary changes in the other arrange-
ments.

How It W'ould Have Been.

The arrangements for the church wed-
ding had been completed on a splendid
scale. The bride selected for her maid of
honor her sister, Miss Alta Rockefeller,
who was to appear in a gown "of white
satin and mousscline do soie, lavishly
trimmed with lace. The bridesmaids in-
cluded Miss Emma Rockefeller, cousin of
the bride, who is to be married to Dr. D.
H. McAlpin Dec. 12; Miss Carrie McCor-
mick, cousin of the groom; Miss Cald-
well, Miss Frances. Adams and the Misses
Scott, all in pretty gowns of white and
pink silk, picture hats and carrying

_ bride roses.

nmmonsmmé—aim‘om McCormick,
nephew of the groom, and the former a
grandson of James G. Blaine, were select-
ed for pages, and Stanley McCormick was
to be his brother’s best man, while the
ushers named were Howard Colby, John
Garrett, Turlington Harvey, James Blair,
John Chapman, Vance McCormick and
Jacob Otto. .

Rev. Dr. John Hall of the Fifth Av-
enue Presbyterian church was to have as-
sisted Rev. Dr. W. H. P. Faunce, pastor of
the Fifth Avenue Baptist church, at the
church wedding, after which a .wcdding
breakfast was to follow at the home of the
bride’s parents, '4 West Fifty-fourth street.

For this latter function the house had
been elaborately decorated with flowers,
the chief feature being an immense floral
wishbone of the bride roses and lilies of
the valley. In the arch of this wishbone
was suspended a marriage bell constructed
of white orchids, and beneath this beauti-
ful emblem the bridal party were to re-
ceive the congratulations of their host .cf
friends. '

The bride drove from her home, 4 West
Fifty-fourth street, with her father, John
D. Rockefeller, to the Buckingham at a
few minutes before 12. The family were
already assembled in the large parlors.

Miss Rockefellcr’s gown was of ivory
satin, made in princess fashion, with a
long, round train. The waist was covered
with heavy point lace appliqued on a silk
foundation. Lace of the same design was
arranged over the tops of ‘the sleeves. She
were also a long point lace veil.

The bridesmaids’ gowns were of spotted
gauze draped over satin and trimmed with
fichus of lace. Four of them were rose
pink iii color, two of white color and that
of the maid of honor of a delicate mauve.

After the marriage, which was over a
little after ~12 o'clock, those who were
present remained in the drawing rooms
for half an hour. Then they took car-
riages and drove to the Rockefeller house,
where a wedding breakfast was served.
Mrs. McCormick went to the house with
her father, but her husband was unable to
leave the hotel. There were about 100
guests at the house. .
