Wedding of Henry Hudson Smith and Miss Margaret Mesier Newbold Attracts a Fashionable Assemblage to St. Mark's Church

 Crowded to the doors with a brilliant assemblage of people, all robed In their newest spring costumes, with the altar radiant with the light of many candles, St. Mark's Church yesterday morning - presented a truthful picture of a fashionable Philadelphia wedding. The wedding was that of Miss Margaret Mesler Newbold and Henry Hudson Smith, and long before 12 o'clock, the hour on which the ceremony was to take place, the church began to fill with the busts of friends of the bride and groom, and when the bridal party proceeded up the aisle of the church to that march which has made countless millions of hearts beat a trifle faster than is their wont, every available seat in the church was taken. The chancel, decorated with Easter lilies, with the altar glowing with light, made a picture of beauty and solemnity which was only accentuated by the contrast with the darkened nave.
