FORWOOD, MARCH!

Best Wishes from Pasadena to a New
York Young Lady

    The following from the New York Times of late date will interest the Pasadena friends of Miss Kate Wynkoop. Gen. Sherman, who was at the wedding, stood up with the bride's grandmother, Mrs. Gen. Woodbury, when she was married, and as both were present it added much to the interest of the occasion to the friends who knew it:
    A fashionable wedding was that yesterday afternoon of Miss Kate Wynkoop, daughter Dr. Gerardus H. Wynkoop of this city, to Harold Stanley Forwood, son of Sir William Forwood, ex-Mayor of Liverpool and the New York agent of the Atlas steamship line. The ceremony was held at Grace Church at 3:30 o'clock, the rector, the Rev. Dr. Huntington, officiating, and was witnessed by fully one thousand friends of the bride and groom. Walter Thompson of England acted as best man, and the ushers were Ernest Bliss, Walter Watson, Jr., George E. Wood, Henry Bucknall, Hugh Hill and G. W. Wynkoop.
    The bride wore an elaborate costume of silver and white brocade, with court train and a tuile veil held by three diamond stars, the gift of Lady Forwood. Her diamond and sapphire necklace was her father's gift. She carried a bouquet of white heather.
    Her little sister, Miss Bessie Wynkoop, was maid of honor, and the bridesmaids were Miss Louise Scott, Miss Mary Payson, Miss Merwin of Boston and Miss Emily Lentilhon. They wore frocks of pink cr�pe, embroidered in silver, and wore pink ostrich plumes in their hair after the fashion of the bridesmaids at the recent wedding of the Princess Louise. Their bouquets were of American Beauty roses, and they wore at their corsages pearl and diamond lace plus, the bride's gift.
    The guests at the reception which followed at the bride's home, 7 West Sixteenth street, included Sir William Forwood, Mr. and Mrs. MacIver, Mr. and Mrs. Elisha Allen, Mr. and Mrs. Carter of Philadelphia, Dr. and Mrs. Fordyce Barker, Mr. and Mrs. Ethan Allen, ex-President and Mrs. Cleveland, Ex-Secretary and Mrs. Fairchild, Admiral Upshar, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Lentlihon, Dr. Haight, Mr. and Mrs. Payson, Gen. and Mrs. Butterfield, ex-Secretary and Mrs. Whitney, ex-Secretary and Mrs. Bayard, Gen. Sherman, Miss Sherman, Gen. Cullom, Mrs. Woodbury, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Lord, Jr., Dr. and Mrs. Polk, Prof. and Mrs. Doremus and Mr. and Mrs. G. S. Scott.
