J.
  --Airplanes Add Spectacular Touch.--
  A spectacular touch was added when, during the serving of a buffet supper under the trees on the lawn, the whirr of motors was heard overhead and a minute later two Thomas-Morse airplanes, flown by Paul Wilson and "Tex" Marshall with Mrs. Marshall as a passenger, appeared, sweeping low over the assemblage. They rose gracefully to a considerable height, in full sight of the guests only to swoop and circle, tumble, do barrel rolls, Immelman turns and the 'falling leaf' and other aerial thrillers. For full 10 minutes the two planes remained over the Schurman home, then as twilight began to close in they headed toward the west and dropped over the hill to the aviation field.
  Among the out-of-town guests were William Minns Ware of Boston, father of the bridegroom; Miss Alice Ware, sister of the bridegroom; Mr. and Mrs. Elliot Ware of Boston, Mr. and Mrs. George Schurman of New York City, uncle and aunt of the bride and the Misses Catherine and Beatrice Schurman, Mr. and Mrs. John Munro of New York City, uncle and aunt of the bride; Mrs. George Canterbury of Jamalca Plains, Mass., Miss Elizabeth Ware of Chicago, Miss Mary Cushman and Holbrook Cushman of New York City, Mrs. Walter Kerr and Miss Eleanor Kerr of Staten Island, Mrs. John Barr and Mrs. Jeremiah W. Jenks of New York City, Raymond Lowes of New York, Major Taussig of Yonkers, recently of the 309th Infantry, 78th Division, Henry Holloway of Mountclair, N. J., and Mr. and Mrs. George Forrest of Easton, Pa., cousins of the bride.'
