A DELIGHTFUL WEDDING OCCAsIoN.-The spa
cious and elegant residence of Mrs. Z. D. Gilman
was filled last evening by pleasant company
brought together to witness the marriage OF her
daughter, Miss Ida NJ, and Mr.. Orville D. Hall
The occasion was made one for the gathering OF
relatives and more intimate friends, rather than
a fashionable or sensational event, and was
therefore all the more to be appreciated and en-
joyed by those present. The ceremony was
midable display OF bridesmaids and groomsmen,
so much affected nowadays, being dispensed
with. After some time spent In receiving the
congratulations Of their friends, the welded pair
started for New York. where, and in other points
in the north, they will spend some time, after
which they will return to the city and take up
their residence at 1925 Tenth street northwest
the old home Of the bride.
Thehouse was profusely adorned for the occa-
sion with the choicest flowers throughout, and
the room devoted to the wedding presents con-
tained an unusually large and fine display of
beautiful and elegant objects,-such as only
good taste Joined to affection could bring to-
gether. The evening was a most delightful one
in every respect, and the happy manner in which
the affair passed OF was regarded by all present
as a most auspicious omen for the young couple
who had just commenced the second stage OF
life's journey together.
