Mrs. Albert Ivins Croll of Boston and 
Manchester. Mr. Defriezisa Harvard,

Defriez of Brookline. 
The bride’s family is in mourning be- 
cause of the recent death of Mrs. 
Nathaniel Knowles, the mother of Mrs. 
Croll, hence the original plans for a 
larger affair were modified and _ the 
wedding and reception were restricted to 
relatives and the more intimate friends. 
George Gund, Harvard, ’09, of 
Seattle, Wash., was the best man, and 
Miss Pauline Croll, who is a twin sister 
of the bride was the bride’s only attend- 
ant. Miss Croll was given in marriage 
by her father.

of Cambridge and Manchester, Harvard, 
°09; Joseph Leland, Brookline, Norman 
Harrower, Worcester, both Harvard, 
°09, and J. Sidney Stone, Harvard, ’05. 
‘The bride was gowned in white satin 
of heavy texture veiled with chiffon and 
richly trimmed with rare Duchesse lace, 
which had been used on -her mother’s 
wedding dress. A veil of tulle caught 
with a spray of orange blossoms was 
worn, and for ornaments the bride wore 
a necklace of moonstones. She carried 
a large cluster of bride roses. 
C. S. Loring presided at the organ. 
and as the bridal party marched into the 
church he played the ‘‘Bridal chorus’’ 
As a recessional he 
played the wedding march from Mendels- 
sohn’s ‘‘Mid-Summer Night’s Dream.’’ 
The chancel of the church was plain- 
ly, though prettily decorated with clema- 
tis and palms. 
Following the ceremony there was a 
reception and wedding breakfast at 
**Sunnybank,’’ the Croll villa, on Smith’s 
Point. After a wedding trip the young 
people will live in Brookline.

of the shore that she has purchased three 
acres of the Haven estate at Beverly

mer home their. The property which

and on which she will have a_ beautiful 
summer home built, is in the extreme 
easterly corner of the large Haven estate. 
It comprises three acres, and adjoins the

sirable location for establishing a summer 
villa.
