A Springfield (O) special to the Louisville
CourierJournal of yesterday gives the fol-
lowing account of the marriage of Mr.. G. c.
Mat thews, city editor OF the Evening News, of

"Tt hath come over gardens and the flowers
that kissed it are betrayed, might truthfully be
said of any breeze that blew from Sprin gfield to
any quarter in which human happiness is fra
grans to the heart. The best elements of the So
ciety OF the city were gathered tonight to wit
ness the marriage Of Mr.. Gustavus g. Matthews.
son of Mr.. and Mrs. l.. G. Matthew'S of Indian
apolis to Miss Nellie Dunlap Frye, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs William c. Frye, of Springfield.
The groom is the scholarly and brilliant city
editor of the Indianapolis News. The bride has
also high literary reputation, and is widely
known and admired thrOug hOut the State. Both
have the intellectual stature to realize that
marriage is not the end, hut the beginning
of human effort and attainment, as it
is of happiness, and their union is the subject OF
unusually numerous and hearty congratulations
from every part of the country. The ceremony
was performed in the parlors of the BRIDES cozy
home, on High street, and was witnessed by a
large and fashionable assemblage and the time
was happily set at the moment when the long
and perfect June day was deepened into gloom
ing and everything typitied the full first hour
of the summer of life. Dr. Marlay otficiated, and
used the shorter ritual of the Methodist church,
being brief and impressive. The happy couple
stood under marriage bell of white rose buds,
and formed beautiful tabeau, Miss Belle Mast,
as bridesmaid, and Mr.. NJ. Matthews, as best
man, completing an exquisite picture. The
bride wore one of those soft, delightful satins
which illumne the portraits of the old
school brides. IL cut surplice,
with court train and short sleeves. The trim
ming was Italian lace, very rich, and there was
a fiounoe OF the same tnree-quarters of q yard
wide. The traditional veil, comb of pearls,
aud diamond ornaments completed the eabor-
ate toilet, which was well graced by the fine
presence of the wearer. The Miss Mast, the
bridesmaid, OF whom the dainty whisper of local
society says sweet things connecting her maine
with an approaching similar event, wore a cos
tune OF "sea foam" green silk, with Vatican
plat, FicDel lace and diamond ornaments. She
is n little beauty of pure American blonde type.
Mrs. Frye wore an elegant toilet of black silk,
with lace, and Mrs, Matthews gray satin, with
black point lace. Miss Matthews was much adj
flowers bouquet de corsage, and III the
hand, and ner sister, Miss Lolita,
wore pink silk, with Spanish lace
and the high duenna collar, becom
ing to younger girls. AS for the rest, it
would be invidlOus to name everybody IN a lin
tied sketch not admitting of complete list of
the nOtabes and OF the bellies and beaux present.
There are in mind, however, at least one dark
eyed, raven-haired girl, whose bright complex
ion and dazzling beauty needed no other foil
than her costume of unreieved black, and at
least one blonde rival, who seemed merely two,
among many of each type present, beautiful
enough to give this part of Ohio prominence for
the loneliness of its women. Mr.. and Mrs.
Matthews left at l A. NJ. for Cleveland. thence to
Chicago, and then for dreamy undetermined
trip to the far West, and toward the golden sun
set land the even peace of whose climate ana
the eternal youth of whose rocks many pray
may be types of their lives and happiness"
