:. The most elaborate social event thus

ing in the Trinity Lutheran church of
this city when Miss May Camille Win

mony by the Rev. F. NJ. Porch.
Upon arriving at the church the four

Arches of green ornamented the aisles
and floral emblems and decorations
were seen everywhere.
Promptly at eight o'clock the doors
were closed and the bridal party en-

Airs. Dgnss have just celebrat, d their
golden wedding and expressed ii hearty
y ish that MIR. and Mrs. Seward might
live to enjoy a like experience.

sumptunus and delicate, the gusts de-
parted with renewed expressions of
good will.
The bride and groom remain in Abb
lene, residing at the home of the bride.
They are sat home' Tuesdays in No
vember. Mr.. and Mrs. Seward have
long been among Abilene's most pOpu-
lar young people and entering as they
do upon the matrimonial journey under
such favorable auspices there seems no
reason why they should not realize all
the fruitage of joy. with which it is
bordered. The REFLECTOR heartily
hopes that the story of their lives may
end as do the fairy tales of old, land
they lived happily ever after"
