Rose Wood-allen Married Wednesday

ROSE WOOD-ALLEN MARRIED WEDNESDAY

The marriage of Rose Marie, the only daughter of Dr. Mary Wood-Allen, of Ann Arbor, to Mr. William Brewster Chapman of Cleveland, O. was celebrated at the family residence, 1317 Washtenaw avenue, Wednesday afternoon at 4:30. While Mr. Mansel Brodrick-Greene played one of his exquisite improvisations, truly a musical poem descriptive of the occasion, the wedding party came slowly into the room and took their places in the large bay window which had been converted into a dainty bower by the skillful arrangement of palms, smilax, white and yellow roses and ribbons of the same color. The bride was charming in an Empress gown of cream white drape de chene, a comb of pearls and "a single rose in her hair," and carried a large cluster of beautiful white bride roses; she was attended by Miss Florence Pomeroy, who was gowned in white mousseolin de soie and carried yellow roses. The groom was attended by his bother, Mr. Arthur Chapman. The marriage service was rendered in an impressive manner by Rev. James A. Brown, pastor of the Baptist church of Ypsilanti, an intimate friend of the family. Only relatives and immediate friends were present at the ceremony, but during the reception, which immediately followed, over 200 friends presented congratulations and best wishes to the happy pair. In the receiving line, in addition to the bride and groom, and their attendants, were Dr. Mary Wood-Allen, mother of bride; Mrs. Chapman, mother of the groom; Mr. Wood-Allen, brother of the bride, and Miss Hafford of Kentucky. At the close of the wedding ceremony Mr. Brodrick-Greene played a charming wedding march, and during the reception several other selections, all of which he improvised as he played. Delicate refreshments were served in the dining room, the Misses Andrews, Dibble, Pomeroy and Lake presiding; the table decorations carried out the color scheme in yellow and white roses with the addition of English violets; the favors were tiny bows of yellow and white ribbon. The wedding gifts were too numerous and beautiful to permit of description at this time, only a few of which will be given mention. The gift of the groom was a beautiful gold chatelaine watch. The gift from the bride's mother was an exquisite oriental bedspread and pillow shams of white silk and gold embroidery from Damascus, also a salt cellar of cut glass and oriental mosaic from the same ancient city.  A handsome silver salad bowl with fork and spoon was the gift of a club. "The Whooplites." The Women's Christian Temperance Union of Ann Arbor presented a silver service.  A Roycrofter book, "Little Journeys to the Homes of Great Musicians," by Elbert Hubbard, was another charming gift.  Silver spoons, forks and knives of all sorts and designs from the tiny after-dinner coffee spoon to the pie knife and soup ladle were in profusion, also table linen and articles of dainty fancy needlework too numerous to mention.  Mr. and Mrs. Chapman left for the south on the 10:30 train that evening and will be at home after March 15 in Boyne City, Mich., where Mr. Chapman is general manager of extensive chemical works. Mrs. Chapman has for some years been known as an attractive writer and public speaker, and her name is destined to be still more widely known in the literary world; but perhaps she is still better known as the charming daughter of her gifted mother, Dr. Mary Wood-Allen.

The best wishes of all her friends go with her into her new life and new home.
