the North Atlantic Fleet gathered at 
Magnolia Saturday noon to witness the 
marriage of Mrs. Charles Carroll Living- 
ston of New York City to Lieut.-Com-

Mrs. Charles R. Cornwall of New York 
City. The Rev. Fr. Reaney, chaplain

nessey of St. Ann’sCatholicchurch. Miss 
Katherine McCormick of Troy, N. Y., 
asister of the groom, was bridesmaid, 
and Pay Inspector Samuel McGowan of 
the North Atlantic fleet was best man. 
The groom, the best man, and other 
naval officers present were attired in the 
splendid naval uniforms and these, with 
the robes of the clergy, gave the wed- 
ding a touch of solemn dignity that 
was very impressive. 
The bride was gowned in gray panne 
velvet, princess with old rose sleeves and 
wore a pendant of aqua marines and dia- 
monds, a gift of the groom. The 
bridesmaid was gowned in white net 
draped over a skirt of pink. A luncheon 
followed the ceremony and thenthe hap- 
py couple left on an automobile tour. 
They will return to Magnolia shortly.

and Mrs. Walter Yates, Mrs. J. Living- 
ston Carr, Mr. and Mrs. Scott O’ Con- 
nor and Mrs. William Webb of New 
York. 
The floral decorations were very pretty, 
the color scheme very appropriately being 
the national colors—red, white and blue. 
Some beautiful salvias were used in the 
red decorations, and asters for the white 
and blue, with a tinge of green asparagus, 
sprengeri and plumosa setting off the 
blooms. In the midst of the flowers 
was a beautiful silver cup which Lt.- 
Commander McCormick had won on
