Met by the Groom,
who came, from the veStry room, the
officiating clergyman coming forward
and pronouucing the service up to and
including the giving of the bride by her
father. The bride and groom then weut
forward to the altar rail, where the
ceremony which attuned two hearts to
a new harmony and merged two lives
into one was concluded, while the organ
breathed its softest and sweetest har-
mony in unison with the vows spoken
not for time alone, but for eternity as
well. At the conclusion OF the cere
mony the minister presented the bride
with large cluster of roses in behalf of
two of her young friends, Misses Eloise

the organ filled the cathedral with the
joyful strains of MendelsSohn'S we'd

usher and followed by members of the
family, they passed down the main aisle
of the church to their carriage and were

friends, took the afternoon ex-
ess for the East and South,

wishes of all for long and happy life.
The affectionate regard In which the
bride is held by her friends was fully
demonstrated by the abundance and ele-
gance of the presents which came to her
from far aud near. She has long been
a favorite Ill Faribault society, and the
pain of separation is only partly as
suaged by the knowledge that the hus-
band of her choice is worthy of her.
