yesterday UeluOfldl III p0ille circles
was the wedding last evening of Charles
ii. S. Weaver, of Chicago, and Miss
Marie. youngest daughter of the late
Commodore Norman w. Kittson. Every
effort was made to characterize the
wedding by quiet and transformations
elegance and limit the attendance
to the immediate friends of the
family. The Kittson mansion.
IN Summit park, blazed with light an
hour before the time appointed for the
ceremony, and was, within, a bower of
loneliness. The ceremony occurred in
the north or white parlors, which were
triumph of the florists art. in tasteful
and pleasing decorations. The large bay
window, reserved for the ceremony.
was surmounted by beautiful floral
piece, tWining the initials of the
bridal pair in an ingenious
monogram. Over the arch between the
spacious drawing rooms was an inter-
twIned bow and culver. of arrows in
smilax and roses. Sprays of smilax de-
pended in graceful curves from the
windows. The broad leaves of the
palm screened the corners everywhere,
and the tall Gala lily nodded grace
fully in every conceivable angle. A
wealth of roses banked every mantel,
while heliotrope and crysanthemum
peeped out of every NOOK of the broad
corridors, and each turn of the grand
stair case from the porte cochere toob-
servatory, screened by a curtain of
vines and lighted by fantastic lamps,
the conservatory was occupied by an
orchestra. which furnished subdued
symphonies during the early part of the
evening. and Strauss waltZes later ON.
The guests were received in the cen
ter drawing room by Mr.. Norman Kilt
son, as host of the occasion, assisted by
Mrs. l.. {. kittson and Mrs. Demarais.
The north parlor was circumscribed by.
knots of ribbon, afterward employed in
forming an aisle through which the
bridal party passed. A little later
than the appointed hour the strains of
the bridal chorus by MendelsSohn
sounded from the conservatory and the
wedding occurred. The ushers entered
in pairs, Messrs. Frank Blair, Charles
Farnham, DR.. Harold Patterson and AL
fred kittson acting in that capacity.
Miss Adah Hawkins. of st. Paul, and
Miss May Richmond. of Dubuque, the
maids of honor. followed. The bride
entered on the arm of her brother,
while the groom, attended by
Charles L. Bartlett, of Chicago,
his best man. joined the party
in the open space before Rev. w. C.
Pope, of the Good Shepherd church,
who performed the ceremony. When
the bridal party was in place, the chorus
ended, and while the ceremony was
performed, Sthubert's Serenade, rem
dered by mandolins. sounded softly
through the rooms. 1t was an innova-
ton, but decidedly novel ono.
The bride wore a superb princesse
costume of Escurial satin, back and
train deliberately but tastefully
trimmed. The front and elbow sleeves
were of musseline de sole, and the only
ornament was diamond star, which
shone in her dark tresses. She carried
a bouquet of lilies of the valley.
The maids of honor, Miss Hawkins
and Miss Richmond. were robed nearly
alike. The material was pale yellow
crepe in each case, sleeveless. with
square neck, and made in a very be-
coming Juvenile style. Miss Hawkins
carried marguerites and Miss Richmond
pearly roses.
The customary congratulations, in
this case genuine and cordial. followed,
and preceded an elaborate wedding sup
per. Incidental to this was the cutting
of the brides cake and tine search for
the ring. which was eventually found
by Mrs. Horton. After the supper the
floor was cleared, and the young mem
bers of the company enjoyed the pleas
