There was a quiet wedding Monday afternoon at the house of Mr. and Mrs. Henry H. Rogers, 26 East 57th Street, New York, when Miss Mai Rogers, daughter of Mr. Rogers by his first marriage, was wedded to William R. Coe, an Englishman, now residing in New York but formerly of Philadelphia.

The marriage ceremony was performed by the Rev. Dr. Robert Collyer, pastor of the Church of the Messiah, on East 34th Street, in the presence of a limited number of relatives and intimate friends.

The bride had no attendants. She wore a gown of heavy white satin, which was almost entirely enveloped by a veil of embroidered tulle. This veil was held in place by a diamond sunburst, and at the corsage was worn an ornament of diamonds in the shape of a Maltese Cross, the bridegroom's gift.

Mr. Coe's best man was Eugene Bicknell, and the ushers were Messrs. Richard M. Montgomery, F. B. Campbell, D. F. Fox, George V. Coe, and Henry H. Rogers, Jr.

The drawing room in which the ceremony took place, was beautifully decorated with festoons of Japanese asparagus, mingled with apple blossoms and roses, with a background of graceful palms.

Mrs. Rogers, the bride's stepmother, received with the bridal party at the reception that followed the marriage ceremony. She wore a gown of white silk and white organdy with a pattern of violets. Her jewels included several strings of beautiful pearls, with diamond ornaments in the coiffure and corsage.

At the reception, only intimate friends of the family were present; the collation was served by Sherry.

Mr. Coe was a widower before his marriage to Miss Rogers. He is a member of the Calumet Club of New York, of the Staten Island Cricket Club, and the Merion Cricket Club of Philadelphia.

Mr. and Mrs. Coe were passengers on the steamer ST. PAUL. Wednesday for Europe. They will be at Fairhaven later in the summer.
