Two Pretty Weddings, and Enter
tainments Galore.
Miss Mary B. Stevenson, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel II. Stevenson, of
2S5 Dayton avenue, was married at $50
last evening to John E. Osborne, of
Minneapolis, by Rev. q. o. Holman.
The ceremony occurred at the residence
of the bride, and it was one of the pref
tieSt weddings seen in st. Paul for some
months, Notwithstanding that it was a
strictly quiet affair, only the most in
innate friends of the bride and her rela-
tives being present. Nothing that could
have been done in the way of beautify-
| ing the interior of the. residence was
left undone. The drawing room in
which the ceremony occurred was
a perfect bower of SmilaX and
roses Beautiful floral offerings
from the many frieeds of the young
lady were to be seen on every hand. A
bank of roses covered the piano, another
of magnificent Marechal Mel buds at
tracted attention from It's position on
the hall table. and wreaths and festoons
of the lovelieSt gems OF st. Paul green
houses we're en- evidence everywhere.
In the dining room plates had been laid
for the guests invited, and here again
was evidence that the gardens of the
suburbs had been made to pay tribute
to the beauty of bride. The entire
residence was filled with that soft har-
monious light which only wax candles
can shed. There were candles every
where. The tiny lights cleaned from
every possible nook and corner, and the
effect was marvel0usly pretty. The
bride was attired in a most becoming
costume of white silk, with point
lace trimming and pearl orna-
ment. The bridesmaids. Misses Florence
Mitchell and Kitty Phillips, also wore
white and looked extremely handsome,
though in fact such would be true of
them or the bride under any circum-
stances. In all apartment set aside
for their reception lay the wedding pres
ents, and surely never was bride more
generously remembered in this respect.
