Miss Lucy Matthews - Maj. William Lionel Chambers Wedding

A fashionable wedding of last night was that of Miss Lucy Matthews and Maj. William Lionel Chambers at 8 o’clock by Rev. H. H. Gregg of Washington and Compton Avenues Presbyterian Church, in the presence of relatives and intimate friends of the couple. Mrs. Oscar Vieths was matron of honor and Adjt. Gen. Frank Rumbold best man. The bride was daintily attired in fleecy draperies of white chiffon over white satin, made with clinging empire lines, and the corsage ornamented with an exquisite cape of white Honiton lace effectively draped. The veil, which was confined with a chaplet of orange blossoms was of superb point lace, an heirloom in the family of the bridegroom, having been worn by his grandmother, Mrs. Baker, an Englishwoman. The bride carried a shower of lilies of the valley. Mrs. Veiths was becomingly gowned in coral pink satin and chiffon and carried Killarney roses. After the ceremony there was a large reception, the house being attractively decorated with quantities of asparagus ferns.
