CROWDUS-WOLF.
Last night at the residence of the BRIDES
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. F. Wolf, were united
in the holy bonds OF matrimony, Mr..
Eugene Fl. Crowdus and Miss FL
nina Wolf; Right Rev.. Bishop
Alex. G. Garrett, officiating. There were
present only the families OF the contracting
mate friends. The bride, the very imper-
sonation of intelligent beauty, wore
rich %gros-grain silk, with silk grena-
dine over.dress, court train, with
laces to match. The orange blossom
wreath and the usual veil were worn. Orna-
ments, diamonds a present from the groom.
Suspended over the final trysting, place,
where the VOWS and blessings blerded,
administered and received through the i'm
pressiveness of the eloquent bishop, was a
most unique and exquisitively fashioned
umbrella, formed of roses and ever
greens, the inner section being
completely lined with a mass of roses OF
multi-color, but chiefly white, the "maideRf
blush ~ predominating; the exterior whoyr
being OF fresh cedar. The intent evidently
being to bespeak the wishes for the future,
that Just such beauty n fragrance might
hang over and perfume the opening and the
continuation of the new pathway they are
proximity to the bride, was a fine large
potted white %oleander, while on the right
arose the red near to the groom; these being
doubtless emblematic of the fair lady over
whom the former temporarily mounted
joyous guard, while the ruddier color
symbolized the stouter manhood's
blood ready, If need be, to be given in the
protection Of her he was promising to cher
ish and care for until death should them
part. On the walls were. the initials G and
w interviewer in monograms. Besides
these, numerous other flowers, shrubs, etc,
did most appropriate service. The
presents OF silverware, gold, etc., etc.
were quite numerous and rich.
A short while after the ceremony, the
guests were invited to partake ola supper,
which was in waiting, Here was spread a
bounteous repast with seats designated by
souvenir boutoniers and cards, and which
was heartily relished by all the joyous
company, along with the several senti-
ments rendered.
Miss Wolf, as sweet a disposition as ever
blessed a sunny home, as beautiful a bride
as ever bowed beneath a bridal bower,
through her many merits, her rare accom-
plishments, her bright intellect and her
gentle, charming manner, long since
sung herself into the hearts of her
friends, and crowned herself the princess Of
their affections. Mr.. Crowdus, by the
manlier virtues and his most exemplary
conduct, possesses the este m of a whole
community. To both, the HERALD offers its
wishes for the realization of every rainbow
hone that now blooms in the bosom ~
their blissful heyday.
