A. Drury and Miss Ada Kearney, knelt at the foot of the altar. The ceremony and nuptial mass began at 8:30. Rev. Father O'Connell officiated. The altar was handsomely and richly decorated with candelabra and burning tapers interspersed with rare flowers and tropical plants. Tall palms and ferns, artistically grouped together, formed a background which produced a most charming effect. The bride and bridesmaid wore light gray traveling suits, handsomely trimmed with berthas of white lace, and white kid gloves. Their bouquets were of La France roses. During the mass the bride used a handsome prayer book, presented to her by the groom as they entered the sanctuary. Miss Annie Noland acted as bride-maid and Mr. John T. O'Day as groomsman. Beside the relatives of the contracting parties, many friends and acquaintances witnessed the beautiful and impressive ceremony. After receiving the best wishes and congratulations of all present, the newly wedded couple started on a Northern tour. On their return Mr. and Mrs. Drury will occupy their new home near Washington Circle on Twenty-third Street.
