It was a pretty though quiet wedding, the ceremony being performed by the Rev. Ernest M. Stires in the presence of shout 100 relatives and intimate friends. Miss Henderson has been popular in society, but, on account of her father's death two years ago, has not been out much of late. She was introduced three seasons ago. She was educated at Mrs. Ely's school in New York. Mr. Merrill is the only son of Mr. William H. Merrill, managing editor of the New York World, and is a graduate of the Boston Polytechnic. The Episcopal marriage service was read in the drawing-room, which was decorated in green and white. The bride was attired in white duchesse satin en train, with the bodice of point de Vtnise, and cut high in the neck. She wore a tulle veil and carried white violets. She wore no ornaments. Her attendants were her sister, Mrs. Howard Perry, who acted as maid of honor, and the following bridemaids: Miss Hargis of Louisville, Ky., Miss Madeline Henderson, Miss Newell of Boston, Miss Curtis.
They all wore white silk and tulle and carried purple violets. The groom was attended by Mr. Arthur F. Evans as best man. The ushers were:
Mr. John J. Kedzle Jr., Mr. John C. Harding, Mr. J. M. Scott, Mr. W. O. Hibbard Jr.
The wedding march from " Lohengrin " was played upon the organ as a processional. After an extended wedding trip Mr. and Mrs. Merrill will return to Chicago and will reside at 1816 Prairie avenue. They will give their post-nuptial receptions on April 12 and 19.
