| The NuptialS OF Tive OF Wichifa'S Fair Young
People Last Evening.
Amidst profusion OF flowers and in
the presence Of their relatives and friends,
last evening, Mr.. Harry l. Sheppard and
Miss Efie Wright were united in the
bond of holy wedlock. The event took
place at the residence of the brides par
ents. corner of Lawrence and Eleventh
streets. The parlors of the Wright man
sion were most beautifully decorated. The
designer and florist, Mr.. Chadwick. did
! himself proud. At the left OF the aleoye
formed by the staircase massive pyramid
of homegrown flowers, consisting of
chrysanthemum's geranlums, roses, be-
gonias, and various kinds OF vines, reached
to the second landing. The newell post
and railing were wreathed with smilax
ferns and roses. The doors were com
pletely arched and pilastered with ferns
and roses. Each chandelier was festooned
with smilax from the spot where one was
first riveted. Enchanted, one saw view
of the parlor, library and dining room, all
beautifully decorated The large sliding
door between, from the parlor to the IL
brary, was executed in style and taste.
Two large Sage palms formed complete
arch lust above the heads of the happy
pair, the space above being filled with
net work of vines and ferns, out of which
half concealed Cupid has half bent bow
and arrow aimed at the bride. The CRATE
and mantel just at the left was completely
embroidered with beautiful blooming
plants, ferns and begonias. Looking
toward the bay window ones eyes met
with a tropical view rising out OF border
of blooming carnations. Rising to the
ceiling is "A perfect bower OF palms, one OF
them reaching from side TO side. In the
center a beautiful fernery with
center piece rising high above
SO as not TO obscure the
vision, either end large vase of heleo-
thrope that emitted a most fragrant per-
fume In these rooms the guests early
assembled, and at S o'clock the Dew Drop
club struck up the wedding march. Miss
Pearl Skinner filled Mr.. Sheppard's place
at the piano in an admirable manner. To
the strains of the orchestra the wedding
party marched into the front parlOr. The
bride and groom were preceded by Miss
Bessie Shilling of Alliance, o., escorted
Closely following came the beautiful bride,
leaning upon the arm of the bridegroom
When under the cupid's bow and floral
arch, Rev. Hartley of the First NJ. +,
church stepped forward and performed
the ceremony according to the rites of the
NJ E. church. Congratulations lmmedi-
ately followed.
The bride was a picture in a gown OF
pearl white canton crepe eDtraIne, with
Marie Antoniette corsage slightly en- V
with fall of embroidered chiffon at the
throat caught by diamond breach. A
full ruffle of the crepe edged the full
draped vest The full sleeve met the long
white gloves at the elbow and were
finished by ruffies of embroidered chiffon.
The front of the gown was slightly draped
and the sides were in shirred panels. A
foot ruffie of plated white satin finished
the skirt. A long tulle veil fell from
dainty blonde hair in a heecy
cloud down to the edge of
the skirt. A cluster of orange blossoms
fastened it and another spray of the tender
blossoms made the corsage bouquet a
bouqet of Louis white roses were carried in
the hand.
Miss Schilling, of Alliance, Ohio, the
maid of honor, was prettily attired in
gown of pearl white Henrietta, cut dane
ing length, with panel vest and full elbow
sleeves of embossed silk. The square cor
sage finished by deep ruffles of chefion. A
bouquet OF pink marchal MEL roses was
carried
Immediately after the ceremony the
guests repaired TO the dining room where
a sumptuous dinner was spread. At the
conclusion of the repast an hour
was given to social pastimes, after
which Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Sheppard
left for their new home in a new cottage
on Jackson street. During the evening
the Dew Drop club, of which Mr.. Sheppard
has been member for years, rendered
beautiful selections, especially arranged
for the occasion.
Both of the young people are well known
in this city. They have many friends,
hosts of them, who earnestly and heartily
wish them all happiness through their life
henceforth. Mr.. Sheppard, who has been
with Mr.. Thomas Shaw for years, is de-
serving of abundant success in all his en-
terprises, and his charming bride is well
known for her womanly attalnments.
