not rare events in family history that
the occurrence of an affair of that kind
affords good ground for post nuptial
celebration sof more than ordinary
magnitude. Thus it was that
the resinence of Mr.. and Mrs. p. j.

night the scene of a brilliant gathering
i'll honor of the newly made Benedicts
of the household, Messrs. John and
Joseph Giesen. The marriage cere-
mony occurred at a. M, yesterday, at
Assumption church, the officiating

Giesen and Miss Gusta HaungS. The
first named couple were supported by
Edward BorScht and Miss Mary Kin

Anna Haungs paid similar at
tention to the other contract

the early hour the attendance at
the wedding comprised only the fam
lilies of the young couples and their
most intimate friends. After the cere-
mOny wedding breakfast was served,
but all attempts at elaboration were re-
served for the evening. At s o'clock
the parlors of Mr.. Giesen pere were
filled with company that was
representative of the best families of
the German-American element of st.

popularity of the duo of happy couples,
who received the guests in the main
parlor. AS brides invariably are, these
iii this instance looked exceedingly
pretty. Their costumes did not
differ, being of white alba
tros trimmed with white MORE
silk and ribbon. Each wore diamond
ornaments, the traditional orange bios
SONS and corSage bouquets that but en-
HANGED the sweetness of the Wearers.
After the reception the guests were en-
tertained with some excellent music and
subsequently sat down to an elegant
lunch. Mr.. and Mrs. John Giesen will
reside at 1872 West Third street and
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph II. GieSen at 373
