 L-On Tuesday: evening, 7th inst, Dr.. John ID. Phillips and Miss Mabel K. Gager were Imdrried at the Oxfofd-st. Presbyte- riah church, Philadelphia. The pastor 6f the church Rev. Lawrence M. Colfelt; D. D., officiated at the ceremony. Prof. Walter Denning, the urganist, played with great effect the wedding march from Lohengrin at the entrance of the bridal party; and the march by Mendelssohns at their departure. The church was well filled with invited guests, who were richly attired in evening dresses resplend lent with diamOndsand jewelsl ,esii gs:- ass 2ii5 E
 Rare %tropic&l plants and exotics were effectively arranged ulOn the altar, before which the bride and groom plighted their VOWS. The soft lights from the chande- Hers falling upon this mass of rich foliage seemed to. give the wedding guests g. glimpse into fairy land. While the bridal pair were viewing this idealistic scene they werey by their VOWS, assuming duties, than which nothing can be more realistic. The bride 'was attired in 8 cream satin dress, V shaped neck; and trimmed with flowers in which orange blossoms were cOnspiOu-' ous. The train was of silk plush in vatican. style. nVhe highlcollar in Marie AntOinette style was trimmed | with pearl beads. The slippers were of white satin. The bride. carried bouquet of Niphetos roses. There were no bridesmaids. 2 A novel and pretty feature was, the appear ance in the procession of two little pages, sons of Colonel Robert and Madame Knox. They wore dark green velvet suits, cream lace collars and cuffs, black silk stockings, :, 'buekled shoes, and caps of velvet, with ostrich plumes, in keeping with their court dress. They carried baskets ofa choice flowers. They followed the baide and groom upon their entrance, andApon their departurs they preceded then, backing out gskpegnily, facing the bridal party and strewing flowers as they proceeded. These Eiehsh flowers, thus strewn upon their path-i way at the first assumption of thel sacreds VOWS, we trust will symbelize, stFnly, the beautiful and dowery, road upon which. they will pursue life's journey. :. May the odors emitted from the crushed flowers rise, like incenseg heavenWard,!. ,. and call. down rich blessings upon their headsl The six ashers: Were-C. ,M.3Needhann, pr.
