WEDDINGS OF A DAY.

Morris-Wynkoop.

    The wedding of Stuyvesant Fish Morris, Jr., and Miss Elizabeth Hillis Wynkoop was celebrated yesterday afternoon in Calvary Church, Twenty-first Street and Fourth Avenue. The Rev. Dr. J. Lewis Parks officiated. The bride had no maid of honor or bridesmaids. Her gown was of white silk crépe, over silk. The skirt, cut without the usual long train, was laid in side plaits, and the bodice was decorated with butterflies in appliqué lace. She wore a girdle with loops of pearls. Her tulle veil was caught to her coiffure by lilies of the valley, and over her face she wore a shorter veil of tulle, and she carried a shower bouquet of the same flowers. There was no bridal procession, the ushers taking their places in the chancel before the bride started up the aisle on the arm of her father. Mr. Morris's best man was his brother, Richard Lewis Morris, and the ushers were Daniel Woodbury Wynkoop, brother of the bride; James Nicholas Gallatin, Thomas Wilkinson Satterthwaite, James Ripley Bartholomew, John Hill Prentice, and James Duane Pell. The church was decorated with Christmas greens, festooned in arches across the aisles.
    After the ceremony there was a small reception, for relatives and intimate friends only, at the residence of the bride's father, Dr. Gerardus H. Wynkoop, 128 Madison Avenue.
