DETROIT furnished one of the most interesting events 
of late January, of concern to North Shore people, in 
the marriage of Miss Mary Margaret Walker of the 
Magnolia colony, and Sidney Ruggles Small, whose en- 
gagement was announced last summer, while the Walkers 
were at Magnolia.. The wedding took place in the beau- 
tiful home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. Har- 
rington Walker, on Jefferson avenue, Saturday evening, 
Jan. 29, at 8 o’clock. About 125 relations and close friends 
were asked to the ceremony, which was followed by a 
large reception. The fine old home, which was reopened 
for the first time since the family returned from their 
summer home in Magnolia, held a wealth of flowers and 
clinging foliage for the occasion. Dr. William D. Maxon 
solemnized the marriage in the large reception room, the 
bridal couple standing beneath a shower of cybodium 
ferns and white roses, the white satin prieu-dieu on which 
taey knelt to receive the blessing being sentineled with 
tall cathedral candelabra in which were glowing tapers. 
Throughout the house the floors were carpeted with white 
canvas and the walls hidden by masses of wild smilax 
with the exception of the library. In this room the Amer- 
ican beauty velvet hung walls harmonized prettily with the 
charming arrangement of Ophelia roses, which filled 
quaint baskets and topped the many low bookcases. Lead- 
ing from the library and also the reception room was an 
inclosed porch in which green latticed arbors and mirrors 
over which crept vines and Russell roses outlined the 
walls. Seats were placed under these arches, cushioned 
with satin in the same tint as that of the blossoms and on 
the window ledge were window boxes overflowing with 
spring blooms and trailing vines. In the center of this 
delightful garden was a table from which a buffet supper 
was served. The bridal table in the dining room, overlooking 
the rose garden was a leafy bower, the fluffy white tulle 
shaded lights and the tall colonial vases filled with white 
roses corresponding in daintiness with the fluffy white 
gowns of the pretty bridesmaids. Miss Elizabeth Talman 
Walker, sister of the bride, led the bridal procession love- 
ly in a breezy frock of white tulle adorned with pink 
roses. She carried a large cluster of pink roses: She 
was followed by the bridesmaids, Mrs. FE. Caldwell Walk- 
er, Miss Geneva Sullivan, Mrs. Charles Bissell Johnson, 
Miss Dorothy Kross, and the maid of honor, Miss Eliza- 
beth Thurber, all gowned in white tulle, the skirts ruffled 
to the waist; the bodices girdled with white satin were 
tashioned on simple lines and cut low, with tiny baby 
sleeves. They carried fan shaped clusters of Killarney 
roses. Miss Walker’s gown was of the softest white 
satin with long court train; the long tulle veil fastened to 
the coiffure with orange blossoms. Her flowers were a 
gorgeous bouquet of white orchids. Mr. and Mrs. Small 
upon their return will reside at 474 Iroquois avenue.
