THE wedding of Miss Lucy Chase and Mr, William Burger Boorum on Wednesday of last week, is' referred to by those who were present as one of the prettiest nuptial events they had ever attended. The fact that the ceremony was performed in the chapel of the Packer Institute, and was the first jpvent of the kind to be celebrated there, made it unique, 5nd the thirty young and pretty Packer girls forming the Choral Club, of which Miss Chase was, I believe, the organizer, shed sunshine on the event with their dainty personalities and sweet singing. The residence of Mrs. Henry D. Atwater, which adjoins the Institute, and in which the reception was held, was connected with the entrance to the chapel by a passageway of awnings, through which the bridal party, choir and guests passed when the ceremony was over, Mr.

and Mrs. Boorum will be at home at 458 Clinton avenue after the first of January. A NOTABLE event of the week, though unattended by the representatives of Brooklyn society, was the presentation of the elegant silver service, purchased by the people of New York through the Herald, to the United States cruiser New York. Theservice, which comprises every article required for the dinner table, was designed and made by the Whiting Manufacturing Company, of New York, and cost $7,000. A number of distinguished representatives of the navy, besides a few well known men in other walks of life, and a few ladies, gathered in the saloon of the new cruiser on Wednesday afternoon to witness the formal presentation.

The address of Congressman Amos J. Cummings in presenting the gift was excellently well put and breathed of patriotisms and the glory of bur navy. Captain Philips, who received the gift, was more matter of fact but thoroughly entertaining. Afterwards a light collation was served and the guests had an opportunity to inspect the splendid war vessel and to witness a review of the marines on shore.

Benjamin F. Card, of Lewis avenue, was married to Mr. John F. Ives, of Montclair, New, Jersey, on Wednesday evening of last week. The ceremony was performed at the home of the bride's parents by the Rev.

CARDS are out announcing the marriage of Miss Effie Elbertie Armstrong to Mr, John Clifton Hipkins, on, Monday October 9. The wedding was very quietly performed and was kept a close secret.

In some way it leaked out and the impression gained ground that it was an elopement. however, is emphatically denied. Its nearest approach to truth was in the fact that the young people in their eagerness to be made one went off quietly and were married. A large reception will be given to them at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs Philander B.

Armstrong, 1169 Dean street, early in December. Dr. John F. Talmage, of Joralemon street, and his family returned last week from their country place' at Stockbridge, Nov. 15 and 22.
