MARITAL CHIMES AND ORANGE BLOSSOMS.
Last Wednesday as the quiet shadows OF
evening gathered and deepened into night,
the stately residence of NJ. w. Levy ESQ,
at the corner of Topeka avenue and First
street, shone out in a splendor of light
every door and window being luminous
aud ablaze To and from the front and
side portals glided' lighted vehicles of
many kinds, from the more pretentious
family carriage to the Victoria and the close
covered hack Within was resplendance;
sheen simmer and scintilations; flowers
here, music there, ripp, ing laughter every
where, and upon every floor and
in every hallway and recess
of the illuminated home. AS the
mansion stood out against its
white back ground Of softly drifted snow
and of darker night, the aroma of the
flowers with which every chamber had
been profusely decorated, and the music
which seemed pervasive, floating out upon
the street, left the passerby in no uncer-
tainty as to an occasion in which more
than ordinary interest and pleasure were
maiden whose sweetness of disposition,
whose graciousness of character and
whose lovliness of face and form had en-
deared her TO many and who was the
ward and Jewel of that home, stood ar
rayed in bridal robes, in readiness to take
upon her the vows which would carry her
away from all these friends and delightful
associations and surroundings. For
Ida Wertheimer loves early dream
was about to be fulfilled, and a
new life, which must be blended with
other hearts and loves, was dawning; the
pledge which would be as sacred as
faith itself and as binding as her hope of
heaven. Brilliantly sparkled the marital
gem but not so brightly as the sweet con-
6dng spirit which shown in such tran
sparency in her fair and beautiful face. In
her veins and through her heart pulsated
the blood of a race of women which the
centuries have touched more lightly than
that Of any other. The first love romance,
and the first plighted marital vows record
ed in sacred history were of the lovely
women of her pc pie Trusting Rebekah
and sweet Ruth, what lover that has not
worshpped the exalted constancy of these
ure lives and dreamed of the fair Esther
who stood between destruction and her
people.
In such delightful surroundings and I'M
der the happy circumstances named. to the
soft and sensuous strains of Mendelsshon's
sweet wedding march, David Brunswick
and Ida Wertheimer joined hands and
hearts, and, under the command of God,
and in obedience to the laws of man, were
pronounced husband and wife.
An hour after the ceremony, which took
place under a magnificent bell of cut flow
ers and which was witnessed only by the
relatives and the heads of a few intimate
households, came general reception of
young friends of the bride, of both sexes,
and then in the banquet and the fragrance
of flowers, in the music and the JOY, the
songs, the smiles, and the pleasures that
followed, the hours were replete.
80, happy state when souls each other draw
When love is liberty and nature law
gu then is full, possessing and possessed,
No craving void left aching in the breast;
Zen thought meets thought from the lips part
And each warm wish springs mutual from the
heart"
Mr. David Brunswick is business man
who has been located for some time in
Wellington. Miss Wertheimer, whom so
many of Wichita's young people have
learned TO know only TO love, is a niece of
NJ. w. Levy, president of the Wichita Ma
tional bank, whose home has been Ida's
home The bridal pair, after visiting the
brides former home in Portland, Ore,
will go to Bowling Green, Ky, where Mr..

Grandma Kohn, who has long been an

the night of the festivities that Ida was
one of the most generous hearted and
gracious beings that ever blessed this
earth. And as she was generous so was
she generously remembered. Her uncle
and aunt Mr.. and Mrs. Levy. gave
her $1,000, each, and another
relative in Europe sent her 5000
marks or something more than 81. 100. And

keep sakes OF gold and silver and Jewels of
solid silver and expensive and choice Chinas

"There ia love the extremes Of touch desire
The nOblcst hri .htucsSi or the coarSest fire,
In vulgar bosoms vulgar wishes move:
Nature guides choice. and a. men think they love-
In the loose passion men profane the name
Mistake the purpose and pollute the flame:
In nohler bosOms friendships form "a takes.
And sex alone the lovely difference makes"
