QUARTER CENTURY'S HAPPINESS
The Silver Wedding of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. L.. Brandeis.
The handsome residence and grounds
of Mr.. j. l.. Brandeis, at 2511 st. Mary's
avenue, presented a brilliant scene on
Saturday evening. The house was
lighted up and decorated with flowers
while the spacious lawn was made gor-
geous by rows of magic lanterns hung in
the trees and about a large dancing plat
form. Both indoors and out gayety ruled
the hour. The occasion was the silver
wedding of Mr.. and Mrs. j. l.. Brandeis,
and it was certainly one of the most bril-
liant events in the social calendar of
Omaha. The guests did not commence
arriving until late, and it was nearly II
o'clock when the last carriage rolled up
to the door. From that time on, until
half past 2 in the morning, the ccle-
bration continued. The evening was de-
lightful for dancing, and to the strains
of the Musical Union orchestra the
guests, young and old, engaged IN the
terpsichorean delights. At about half
past II o'clock Rabbi Benson asse mbled
all present on the platform, and began
the repetition of the solemn Jewish mar
riage rites which twenty-five years ago
had made the happy celebrants man and
wife. Mr.. and Mrs. Brandeis with their
three sons and one daughter were ranged
in front of the rabbi as he performed
that solemn ceremony, concluding with
20 earnest prayer.
At the conclusion of the ceremony Mr.
and Mrs, BrandeiS were surrounded for q
half hour or more by congratulating
friends. The orchestra again struck up
and the supper table on the east end of
the lawn was made the point of attack.
An elegant repast was served, at the con-
cluslon of which many toasts to the health
and welfare of the happy couple followed,
together with the reading OF congratula-
tory kilograms from friends In all parts
of America and Europe. Dancing and
social converse were then indulged in
| until late hour. The affair was thor
oughly enjoyed by the guests, all of whom
on leaving expressed the desire that Mr..
| and Mrs. Brandeis might live to celebrate
| their golden wedding as happily rs they
| had their silver anniversary.
