UNIQUE SOCIETY EVENT.
Japanese Wedding On the East
Side-PersonaI Gossip.


Side-PersonaI Gossip.
The Bates Avenue M. E. church pre-
sented an attractive appearance last
evening, the occasion of charming
entertainment given by the Ladies' Aid
societyof the church. The. principal
feature was the Japanese wedding, per-
formed: by number of well-known
ladies and gentlemen in full japanese
costume. The church was very prettily
decorated for the occasion. and the
audience was certainly large enough to
tax the resources of the pretty girls
who served supper to the visitors. The
Japanese nuptial ceremony was
very cleverly performed, not a
mistake being made by any of
the participants from beginning
to end. Miss Mollie Confare, as the
Oriental bride. looked too cute for any
thing in "Mikado'' costume, with curly
t0ed slippers to match, and Edward
Lord, as the bridegroom, though he
scarcely seemed at ease in his cumber-
some skirts, and possibly as much from
the fact that a man seldom does feel at
ease at his own wedding, whether it be
a bona-fide affair or merely burlesque.
However, the groom managed his part
i'll an exemplary manner, all things con-
sidered. Miss Hattie DewarJ was be-
1witchingly pretty aid extremely anus
Mrs. c. II. Gilbert and F. B.
Cone, as the parents of the
groom, looked as impressive as
the solemnitv of the occasion
demanded that they should. Mr..
and Mrs. George Martin, as the parents
of the blushing bride. were tearfully
and wonderfully costumed as Jap
anese lady and gentleman of rank. The
bridesmaids, Mrs. Edward L.. Tepel,
Misses Sadie Keller, Nina Kreiger, May
Granville, Eta Clendenning and Jennie
Moore, all wore the colors and costumes
OF their japanese models, and the entire
scene was one well worth going long
way to witness.
