~S~
brilliant wedding. 1t was the oc-
casion of uniting in the holy bonds
of wedlock, MI. L. w. Mallory, their
only son, to Miss Cora E. Arthur, of
Sioux City, Iowa. Over one hun
dred persons, the elite of the city,
were present to witness the cere-
mony. The rooms were beautifully
decorated with the choicest of fra
grant flowers, evergreen notices, etc.
The ceremony was to be performed
at nine o'clock aud promptly at that
time the bride and groom appeared,
preceded by the little Misses Oracle
Ringsrud and Nellie Freeman and
Mr.. and Mrs. Jas Z. Blair, who sep
arated to the right and left, forming
G half circle in which the bride and
groom took their places facing the
officiating clergyman, Rev. G.. w.
Freeman. After the invocation the
Rev. Freeman in a very brief but
elegant ceremony tied the nuptial
knot and pronounced the twain man
and wife. The bride was dressed
in q beautiful lavendar brocaded
satin appropriately ornamented
with orange blossoms, and looked
perfectly lovely. Mr.. Mallory was
elegantly dressed in the convention
al black broad-cloth, and they were
as handsome and as happy looking
a couple as this scribe has ever seen.
The next half hour after tle cere-
mony was devoted to congratulations
and the happy pair passed through
the ordeal most becomingly. Per-
haps the most light-hearted one of
the entire company was Mrs. NAL
lory, the hostess, who was here and
there and everywhere throughout
the house entertaining her guests in
a most royal manner. Excellent
music, both vocal and instrumental
vas sandwiched all through the
evenings festivities, and contributed
materially to the enjoyment. A
most superb supper was served at
about half past ten o'clock, consist
ing of a dozen or more different
kinds of delicious cake, elegant ice
cream, lemonade etc. MI. Mallory,
the groom, or Lem, as he is more
