AT S o'clock Professor Hunt touched
the organ keys, and the strains Of the
Lohengrin wedding march rang out in
Joyful notes. at that same moment the
bridal cortege entered the church.. First
came the two little ribbon girls. Helen
CARROT and Alice Brewster. They wore
tasty dresses of white China silk and
short sleeves. Their duty was to loosen
the long satin ribbons which were tied in
the aisleS to separate the seats reserved
for the bridal party and friends from the
rest OF the guests, and to taSuen them
again after the bridal train had passed
through. Professor c. A. HeinZen and
l.. f. EmmonS, Jr., uShers, followed, and
then the two other ushers, Robert White
and Howard Wood. Then came two
bridesmaids, Misses Katherine Collins and

green crepe, demi-train, with slippers
and gloves to match, the corsage cut in a
V. Their flowers were pink roses also.
Miss Pauline Turner, the maid of
honor, was accompanied by Mr.. Head Of
Kansas City, the groomsman. The toilet
OF the lady was pretty enough for the
bride herself. 1t was beautiful cream
chiffon, with elbow sleeves, demi-train,
cut Vshaped at the corsage, and her
hands were encased in long gloves and
feet in little slippers of the same delicate
tint as the dress. She carried pink roses
also.
The bride and groom came in together,
changing the ordinary custom of the
groom meeting the bride at the altar. The
fair young lady was robed in a rich gown
Of heavy ivory duchess satin, trimmed
with point lace and garnished with lilies
of the valley. The sweeping train was
worn, and the long, feecy bridal veil was
caught up with orange blossoms. Her
only ornament was a necklace and pend
ant of pure white pearls. the magnificent
present of the groom. She carried large
bouquet Of cream roses.
Immediately on the conclusion of the
church service the bridal company pro-
ceeded up the other aisle to the awaiting
carriages, while the organ pealed forth the
strains Of Mendelssohn's wedding march.
The friends, who made up the favored 200
who were invited to the reception at the
house, soon followed. If was distinctly a
pink and white wedding. a rope OF white
chrySanthemums and arbor vitae sepa-
rated the reception parlor in front from
the rear parlor, where the bridal table
was spread. This table was bordered
with genuine English holly, with hun
| dreds of pink roses and white chrysan-
| themums. 1t was a lovely touch of
| neglige decoration and the effect was
| beautiful. In the dining-room beyond
another table held mass of cut flowers,
mainly roses of deeper pink hue with
| geraniums and carnations intersperSed
| all lying on a loose bed of smilax.
| Congratulations over, the friends were
| served gracefully and easily with a most
| palatable array Of dainties. The brides
cake was cut by the maid of honor and
| the best man, and each sharer made i'm
mediate and excited search for the tokens
| OF approaching hymenial happiness and
wealth. The ring fell to a fair brides
maid, Grace Roberts, while Lawrence
Emmons will probably find many brief,
with handsome fees attached, for the

The young couple left on the Eli for
| Chicago amid the proYerbial shower of
rice ard the luck-inviting old shoe. They
will spend q short time there, then re-
turn to Quincy for little visit, and then
go to set up their household gods at their
home in Sacramento, where the groom
has responsible position with the South

in Quincy too well to require introduce
