witness the marriage of Miss Agnes
Sloan with Mr.. Martin Whelan, of
Cincinnati, Ohio.
At 11:30 =. m. the couple entered
the parlor, preceded by the four sisters
of the bride, Misses Maggie, Helen,
Sallis and Jean, acting as ushers. The
minister, Rev. D. II. King, of the
Presbyterian church, received the
party in the recess provided by the
bay-window on tho east side, Mrs.
DR.. G. E. Porter meanwhile playing
upon the piano tho Wedding March
from "Lohengrin." The ritual es-
tablished by the church for the con-
duct of the ceremony was recitsd, the
mutual troth plightsd and the two de-
clal one. Congratulations followed,
the nearest friends taking the lead.
The bride was elegantly attired in a
dress of brown silk and embossed vel
vet and wore emerald earrings and
broche, the jewslry being the gift of the
groom. The latter wore Prince AL
bert coat with suit to match.
The residence, particularly the par
lor, was prettily decorated. The lace
curtains were tastefully trimmed with
evergreen and fern. The couple

inner corners Of the window, keyed at
the summit by lovely monogram,
"W. S." constructed of Jacqueminot
and Marechal Mel roses.
