the brilliant lights shone upon per

inside the chancel massive fowe

the dutter of tongues was hushed t.
silence and the arrival of the brida
party was telegraphed in whisper:
and signs across the aisles ano
rows. A slight delay Of prepare

ty marched up the aisles in couples
The lady attendants in pairs came
up the right aisle and filed across
in front of the fower-gates, proceed
ing across to the left wing and
tell into line diagonally across the
space to the left of the altar. This
order was reversed with the gentle
men, who crossed and formed upon
the right hand space. This ar
rangement was effected in deliber-
ate and measured tread to the beau
tiful strains of a wedding march by
Mrs. E. w. Rose, and then the
bride and groom approached by the
right, preceded by little Misses
Estelle Anderson and Marietta
Ewing, dressed in pure white tulle
and carrying each basket of flow
ers, strewing them in the path of the
bridal pair, who marched inside
the chancel and behind the flower
gates, when the little flower nymphs
swung wide the gates and revealed
them standing upon dais facing
the audience. Rev. DIR. j. M.
Wright, of Shelbyville, appeared in
front of the altar and in brief and
beautiful impressiveness pronounc-
ed the words that bound them man
and wife, and after kneeling and re-
ceiving his blessings they retired
down the other aisle. Immediately
following them the gentlemen came
across and each was joined by a
lady until all had retired, followed
by the maids and Valets to carriages
that conveyed them to the residence
on End street.

THE RECEPTION.
Mr.. and Mrs. L. E. Alternately
held an open reception at their
princely residence on End street
from 9 to IL o'clock, and the
parlors were filled with guests and
friends who called to congratulate
the welded couple. The dining
room was a gorgeous scene. In the
center of the room a large mirror
prone upon a table represented a
miniature lake, with messy banks
and shells and water-lillies. At one
end grew a beautiful evergreen with
branches bending under grape clus-
tiers and thickly studded with wax
candles. All around we're arranged
tables burdened with rich and cost
ly cakes and fruits and ornamented
handsomely. A magnificent BRIDES
cake occupied a table to itself-a
massive thing of rich and daintily
ornamented design. There was
lack of nothing and profusion of
everything.
BRIDAL PRESENTS.
On tables arranged in the north
parlor were exhibited the most
elaborate array of costly bridal
gifts the writer ever beheld. From
the solid silver napkin ring,
through cases of spoons and knives,
silver and gold vases and cups,
chased and carved psrloT and DIM
ing ornaments, to the massive sill
yer water service, the eye wandered
over a rich sheen of splendor that
