BROOKLYN LIFE. 9 O' Brien-Hipkins Wedding in Montclair, N. J. Saturday afternoon of last week proved ideal for an outof-town wedding and the large contingent of Brooklynites who went to Montclair, N.J., to attend the wedding of Miss Marietta Moore Hipkins, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

John Clifton Hipkins, found this attractive suburb looking its loveliest. Miss Hipkins became the bride of a Brooklyn man, Mr. John Thall O'Brien, son of Dr. and Mrs. Henry L.

O'Brien of 104 Prospect Park West, at four o'clock at the residence of her parents, 1 Berkeley Place, with the Rev. Andrew Wilson of St. Paul's Episcopal Church officiating. As all her friends anticipated, Miss Hipkins made a charming bride in her wedding gown of white tulle and silver tissue, which was distinguished by a double court train, a train of old Limerick lace falling gracefully over the one of white satin. This lace train was loaned by Mrs.

Robert Graves of Manhattan to carry out the old adage, "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue." Her veil was draped as nuns drape their caps and proved very becoming with a band of tulle under the chin. Her bridal bouquet was a shower of sweet peas and lilies-of-the-valley. Miss Josephine Lorraine Hipkins, who attended her sister as maid of honor, wore a gown of orchid pink tulle over silver with a French blue sash and a picturesque hat of silver lace ornamented with long, French blue streamers. Her shower bouquet of pink sweet peas was tied with French blue ribbon. Miss Emily Parsons and Miss Lucile Parsons, the young daughters of Mr.

and Mrs. J. Lester Parsons of Montclair, attended the bride as flower-girls, wearing dainty frocks of white dotted swiss with pink sashes and point d'esprit bonnets trimmed with daisies and French blue ribbon. They carried baskets of daisies and sweetheart rosebuds. Mr.

Henry L. O'Brien, a brother of the bridegroom, was best man and Mr. Clifton A. Hipkins, brother of the bride; Mr. Thomas Wentz Balfe of Brooklyn; Mr.

Homer Trecartin of Manhattan, and Mr. Lyon Gardiner were the ushers. Mrs. Hipkins was in sapphire blue satin trimmed with spangles and wore a corsage of orchids. Mr.
