The ceremony, at eight o'clock in the evening, will be witnessed by only the family. A reception will follow. ONE of the prettiest of recent home weddings was that of Miss Marion Emily Cummings, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Guynne Cummings of 132 McDonough Street, who was married on Wednesday evening of this week to Mr.

Henry Memminger Atkins, son of Captain James Atkins of Mayesville, S.C., and brother of Mrs. Ward Weaver Simmons of 180 Sterling Place. The ceremony was performed at half past eight by the Rev. Robert Rogers of the Church of the Good Shepherd. The bride, who was given away by her father, was most becomingly gowned in white satin, directoire, richly trimmed with duchess lace, hand embroidered and studded with pearls, and carried a shower bouquet of lilies-of-the-valley and bride roses.

She wore the conventional tulle veil, caught up with orange blossoms. The groom's gift was a crown of pearls and diamonds. The maid of honor was Miss Edna E. Holton of Flatbush, who was gowned in corn color crepe media, trimmed with hand embroidery and Honiton lace, and carried a shower bouquet of sweet peas and daisies. There were five ribbon girls, all wearing pretty frocks of white: Miss Agnes Marie Hillyer and Miss Marion Hallock Nash of Brooklyn, Miss Mary Elizabeth Given of Philadelphia, Miss Ann Nason' Morton of Baltimore, and Miss Marjorie Herrmann of White Plains.

The best man was Mr. Charles Mervin Adams of Baltimore and the ushers Mr. Jesse Watson of Brooklyn and Mr. Alfred J. S.

Holton of this borough. Following the ceremony, a reception was held at the bride's home from nine until ten-thirty. The decorations of palms, smilax and bride roses were most artistically arranged through out the house, while in the dining-room, where the supper was served by Maresi, a touch of yellow was added to the color scheme. The music was furnished by Muller. In the receiving party were the bride's mother, Mrs.

Cummings, who was gowned in pale lavender chiffon over lavender messaline, richly trimmed with pearls and hand embroidery, and Mrs. Ward W. Simmons, who wore a gown of light blue crepe de chine, directoire, trimmed with real lace. After a three weeks' wedding trip, Mr. and Mrs.

Atkins will return to Brooklyn and will reside at 132 McDonough Street. IN honor of Miss Edna Condit, Mrs. Clarence T. Corey of 485 East Seventeenth Street, gave a luncheon and linen shower at her home on Thursday afternoon. Mrs.

Corey's guests were the member of Gamma Psi, a sorority of which she is honorary president. The early part of the afternoon was devoted to a voting contest and elections of the prettiest, wittiest, jolliest, most stylish, most affectionate, and most talented girls, the prizes going to Miss Condit, Miss Marjory Scannell, Miss Louise Schippers, Miss Jule Smith, Mrs. John Watt, and Miss Maude E. Klotz, in the order named. The other guests were Miss Mabel Ramsay, Miss Alice Halleck, Miss Helen Hamilton, Miss Agnes O'Connor, Miss Florence Earl, Miss Olga Bowman, Miss Sylvia Post, Miss Elsie Erskine, Miss Jean Sharpe, and Miss Viola Vetter.

MISS CONDIT, who is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Demerest Condit of 28 Halsey Street, is to be married to Mr. Frank Harold Wright, son of Mr. and Mrs.

Frank Robert Wright of 108 Glenwood Avenue, East Orange, N.J., on the evening of Wednesday, June second. The ceremony will be at six o'clock, at the bride's home, with a reception at eight. Miss Condit will have her sister, Miss Grace Condit, as maid of honor; Miss Maud E. Klotz, Miss Louise Schippers, Miss Sylvia Post and Miss Agnes O'Connor as ribbon girls and Miss Margherite Wright, sister of the groom, as bridesmaid. The best man, Mr.

Harry Snow, is a cousin of the groom. The ushers are to be Mr. Robert Snow, Mr. George Deyer, Mr. Pierre Davenport, and Mr.

Arthur Dean. The bride-elect, who has been much feted, will entertain her bridesmaids at luncheon on the twenty-ninth of this month. 4 MRS. JOSEPH DUKE HARRISON entertained the Daughters of the Revolution at her home, 60 Amers-fort Place, on Wednesday afternoon. Mr.

Graham Reed of St. Patrick's Cathedral sang and Mr. Henry Steiger read, after which luncheon was served. Mrs. Harrison, who before her marriage was Miss Jennie Ditmas, has been living in California, but after her home was destroyed by the earthquake, she came back to the old Amersfort Place homestead.

She is still accounted one of the beauties of Flatbush, and is a charming hostess in every way..
