The interesting number that opened the bill was entitled "At the Edgemere and the stage was set as an open summer the many small tables being filled with supposed guests.

and Mrs. Louis L. Firuski of Manhattan, was married to Mr. Arthur Walter Seligmann, the ceremony being performed by Dr. Alexander Lyons of this borough.

The bride's gown was of white satin and she wore a lace veil caught by a bar of diamonds and carried a bouquet composed of lilies-of-thevalley. Her only attendant was Miss Rita Firuski, whose costume was pink and who held an armful of roses of the same shade. There were neither best man nor ushers. The wedding was an extreme quiet one, as the bride's family is in mourning for her grandmother, the late Mrs. Fannie Firuski, who died last March at the Hotel St.

George. A breakfast followed the ceremony at which covers were laid for forty guests. Upon their return from their honeymoon Mr. and Mrs. Seligmann will spend the rest of the summer at the country home of the groom's parents, Mr.

and Mrs. Ferdinand Seligmann, at Bayswater, L.I. The Seligmann city home is at 123 West Seventy-seventh Street, Manhattan. The Firuskis are very well known in this borough, where they resided before they moved to 137 Riverside Drive, Manhattan..
