Mr.. and Mrs. George Ross of this city,
and there by the Providence of God and
according to the rites of the Methodist
Episcopal church made her his wife. The
ceremony Of uniting the hands, hearts and
destines of the happy young couple was
performed by Rev. A. j. Ross pastor OF
the Methodist church of Oklahoma City, a
relative of the bride
few minutes before old sol had
reached his meridian height the bridal
party led by Miss Julia Ross the sister OF
the bride, who acted as brides maid, C ONE
slowly down stairs, followed by her
brother Mr. George Ross, who acted as
bridesman, and he in turn was followed by
the bride and bridegroom who slowly de-
scended arm in arm. As they walked into
the front parlor and took their positions
under beautiful floral canopy with a
frontage that represented yoke, besuti-
fully and tastefully arranged, there was a
profound and solemn stiffness that re-
mained unbroken until the minister COM
menced uttering those magic words that
made them husband and wife. AS the
bride stood at the side of her newly welded
husband she looked so handsome tiat all
the fairy queens in legendry, if they really
existed, might well feel jealous of her In
any character of dress Miss Ross would
| look handsome. but dressed as she was in
her bridal garniture, which was a triumph
of misunderstanding, she looked simply
beautiful, and in every movement mani
Tested queenly grace that would inspire
the most unromantic eye to twinkle in ad-

She was dressed in very charming wed
ding toilet of cream bengaline with long
court train Wide embroidered chiffon

cascades made Of the same. The bodice

with a double cascade of chiffon. The

Miss Julia G. Ross, the sister and brides

gloria silk, with demi train, pointed bodice
back and front, corsage en- V gathered in
full at the shoulders and confined at the
waist with small plaits, long mitts and
boquet of delicate pink chrysanthemums.
The groom aud groomsman were dressed

Mr. and Mrs George Miltner, Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Miltner. Mr.. and Mrs. T. B.

After the ceremony, the assembled
guests sat down to a beautiful wedding
dinner which was served in several
courses and which consisted of all the nice
things known TO the culinary art. Pre-
vious to dinner, however, congratulations
were exchanged, among which were sever
al kilograms from absent friends who took
this means of conveying their congratula-
tions to the happy couple.
The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Ross was
handsomely decorated for the joyous and
happy event. The floral decorations were
especially fine and well designed and the
College Hill florist. Mr.. Chatfield has
developed genius for such work, and
each undertaking excelled his former ef-
forts The hall is one of the old style
which was considered when Ebuilt very
large, but modern architecture has
shown to be small, was beautiful
ly decorated. The Newell was
trimmed with smylax and crowned
with wreath of lovely chrysathemums,
which seemed to be carelessly laid in
slanting position. The handrail was one
mass of ferns and at the topo the cylinder
was put plants of chrysanthemums. The
large hat rack and umbrella stand were
converted into a flower stand and the
trellis was buried with vines and flowers.
Mrs Ross had designed to have only
chrysanthemums and her wishes were
followed out except in a few instances for
effect The door frames were wainscoated
and tops crowned with ferns, each one
floral wove design made especially for the
occasion. On top OF either corner of the
large mirror hung horse shoes. The
bridal party stood under a large canopy
hung from the top of the east window in
the front parlor. The canopy seemed to
set upon two floral hearts. A massive
floral yoke suspended over their heads.
The large sliding doors were arched and
wainscoated.
The II m dinner table at
which the relatives only, were in
vited came in for its share of chrysan-
themums in vases. In the evening the re-
ception supper table was spread by Mrs.
Z. NJ. Casad. Here the flowers were a
feast in themselves to lovers of the beauti-
full. arranged in vases. On each end there
were a centerpiece and woven chain COM
pletely encircling it about ten inches
from the edge. Let it be said again that
the floral decorations were very beautiful
and fully in keeping with the other details
of the happy occasion.
