1t was Il gay and happy asSemb!age.
! The wedding garments were Oh; the
marriage feast was near at hand. The
! Lutheran church Was the place of the
scene, and Tuesday evening the time.
Mr.. 3. G.. Matthews and Miss Clara
Crotwel!, the beautiful and charming
| daughter Of Mr. J. \. Cr0twcll, were
united in the holy bonds Of wcdlock.
They were attended by thirteen gallant
young men and as many lovely nlaidcns
all arrayed in pure white. 1t was a
beautiful scene to look upon. The
church was artiStically and taStefully
decorated. \ triple arch OF bright
fresh green thicNlY studded with gOl-
! den rod surrounded the altar, beneath
| which assembled the bridal party, and
! the happy young couple plightcd their
troth. The railing Was artistically
draped in white and cntcrtvined with
| ivy. Upon either side Of the chancel
were stands OF rare hot house plants in
bloom. The pulpit was banked with
exquisite roses and back Of it were
beautiful ferns and palms. Til" alcove
showed delicate traccry OF ivy, and
in the centre, at the top, and on either
side hung baskets Of trailing vines, and
beneath the centre basket in the alc"ve
! was the united heart OF handsome nat
ural flowers, emblematic of the ocra-
sion. Upon the whole the church was
very prettily decorated and the effect
was pleasing to the eye.
The church was full down stairs and
upstairs. In fact we might say ''the
world and his wife were there" They
came early and had patience to wait.
! Every one loves to see = beautiful mar
riage.
The bridal party arrived promptly at
nine o'clock, and as they reached the
doors the organ pealed forth the grand
march of the "Cujus Anima," and as
the bride entered the church the tones
were modulated into the familiar tune
! of "Faithful and True" from Lohen-
grin. And as the party retired Men
deissohn'S wedding march was beautl-
fully rendered. Mrs. Peter Robertson
presided at the organ.
