OTABLE among the numerous June weddings was that 
last Saturday of Miss Hope Norman and Elliot Cow- 
din Bacon, which. took place at St. Peter’s Episcopal 
Church in Beverly. It was of widespread interest as it 
united two families prominent in Boston and New York 
in Newport and at the North Shore. The bride is the 
only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Guy Norman (Louisa 
Palfrey ) or Boston, who have a wonderfully attractive 
estate, “Bee Rock,” on Prince street at Beverly Cove, and 
who spend their midsummer seasons at Newport. Mr. 
Bacon is the youngest son of Robert Bacon, former am- 
bassador to France, and of Mrs. Bacon, who before her 
marriage was Miss Martha Cowdin. He was graduated 
from Harvard with the class of 1910. He is a member 
of various leading clubs. His only sister, Martha Bacon, 
married George Whitney of New York. One of his 
brothers, Gaspar G. Bacon, of Jamaica Plain, Harvard, 
‘o8, married Miss Priscilla Toland of Philadelphia, and 
another, Robert L. Bacon, Harvard, ’07, married Miss 
Virginia Murray of New York. ‘The bride is a niece 
of Maxwell and Reginald Norman, as she is of Mrs. 
Bryce J. Allan, whose summer estate, “Allanbank,” on 
Hale street, almost overlooks the Norman estate, “Bee 
Rock.” Mrs. Frederick H. Prince of Boston and Wen- 
ham Neck, and Mrs. E. Preble Motley are other aunts 
of the bride, as is Mrs. William R. Hunter of New York 
and Newport. The engagement of Miss Norman to 
Mr. Bacon was announced the last part of March, while 
she was in Aiken, S. C., with her parents. The limited 
seating capacity of St. Peter’s Church made it impossible 
to invite, to witness the ceremony, many people other 
than the numerous relatives on both sides, and intimate 
friends. The ceremony was performed by Rev. James 
P. Franks, rector. of Grace Church, Salem, who was as- 
sisted by Rev. Eugene J. V. Huiginn of St. Peter’s 
Norman gave his daughter in marriage. The bride’s 
attendants formed an interesting group, made up of Miss 
Phyllis Sears and Miss Olivia Ames, both of Boston and 
Pride’s Crossing; Miss Josephine Rantoul of Beverly 
Farms; Miss Ruth Gaston of Boston; Miss Elaine Den- 
égre of New Orleans and West Nineneee ce and Miss 
Margaret Perin of Washington, D. C. The bridesmaids 
were all dressed alike in striped mauve and blue gowns, 
with which hats to match were worn. They each car- 
ried a bunch of old-fashioned stock, of mauve and pink 
shades. Robert Low Bacon was his brother’s best man, 
and the ushers were his other brother, Gaspar Bacon, 
together with John E. Thayer, Jr., George Peabody Gard- 
ner, Jr., Roger Amory, Sullivan A. Sargent, Jr.,; and 
John Revere Chapin, all of Boston; William Fellowes 
Morgan, Jr., 
phia, 
of New 
and Thomas S. 
York; Gilbert Mather of Philadel- 
Blumer of Providence, R, I, all 
Mr. 
exception of Gaspar Bacon. After the ceremony at the 
classmates of the bridegroom at Harvard, 1910, with the 
little church, a reception was held at “Bee Rock,’ where 
a wedding breakfast was served. For the reception a 
far larger number of guests had been invited than it was 
possible to ask to the church, and the occasion was large- 
ly al fresco, the attractively planned gardens, Italian in 
character, lending themselves admirably to an_out-of- 
doors gathering at this season. A string orchestra fur- 
nished music for dancing, in which diversion many guests 
indulged. Mr. Bacon and his bride are to live in New 
York city, where he has in business interests. Mr. and 
Mrs. Norman, the bride’s parents, will soon go to their 
summer place in Newport, 
the fall to “Bee Rock,” 
for the season, returning in 
which is kept open throughout the 
season for occasional visits to the North Chere Miss 
Norman proved a most distinguished and attractive 
bride. One could not help noting the great resemblance 
between she and her aunt, Mrs. Bryce ]. “Adlan.” -Eles 
graceful gown of white duchesse satin was almost cover- 
ed with rare old applique lace, which has been long in 
the family. The bodice had a V-shaped neck and was 
fashioned with long tulle sleeves. The skirt was flounced 
with lace, and there was an overdrapery of the same ma- 
terial, while the court train was more than ordinarily 
long. The veil was becomingly arranged with orange blos- 
sors. The costumes worn at the church were most at- 
tractive. While the younger element was much in evi- 
dence, and the girls in their exquisite frocks created no 
little attention, ‘the older set was especially worthy of 
admiration. Noticeably charming was Mrs. Frederick H. 
Prince, in her gown of taffeta in the new tobacco shade, 
which was almost veiled with real lace, and Mrs. Charles 
P. Curtis was at her best in a fascinating frock of white 
organdie with a corded skirt, and flounces. As is always 
the case Mrs. Francis L. Higginson was beautifully at- 
tired, her gown being of white ‘embroidered lace, to which 
her sash of rose pink gave a pleasing note of color, and 
Mrs. Henry E. Russell looked especially well in brown 
taffeta, with corded skirt and flounces. Mrs. Thomas 
5. Bradlee presented a picturesque appearance in a quaint 
frock made with a big skirt, which suggested an old-time 
portrait, and there were effective touches of pink and a 
fetching little berthe of dotted muslin. Then there were 
Mrs. Charles G. Rice in a beautiful creation of gray em- 
broidered satin, which became her especially well; Mrs. 
McMichael, in a chic suit of tan colored crepe, and Mrs. 
George Mandell, who selected for her costume change- 
able taffeta in tones of champagne and gray, elaborated 
with lace. Among the frocks donned by the young gir!s 
were exquisite lingerie affairs, several of the prettiest 
ciel coats of rose and blue taffeta, done with white fox 
ur.
