By all odds the greatest society event
in Bismarck this season was the mar
riage last evening at the Presbyterian
church of Mr.. W. @. Tubbs of Minneap-
oils and Miss Grace Wilson of Bismarck.
Never before was there such a brilliant
scene within the sacred walls of that
spacious edifce. Hundreds of the elite
of Bismarck society mingled with the
specially invited guests of surrounding
cities to witness the charming as we'll as
sacred event.
The church wal handsomely decorated
with evergreens and howers-pink and
white roses and chrysauthemums pre-
domwating. The pulpit ends of the
i right and left aisles we're arched with
evergreens. Suspended in the center
of the arch over the right aisle through
which the bride and her maid 8 entered
was the letter "W," worked in ever
greens, while in the opposite arch was
the letter "T"-emblematic of the trans
ormation-Wilson-Tu On the chan
delier in front of the altar was the mono
gram "TW," the initials of the betrothed.
Above the altar was a large bouquet of
pink and white flowers suspened from a
web of ribbons which reached out to the
surrounding walls and arches. The pull
pit was trimmed with evergreens and
covered with beautiful flowers.
Mr.. j. F. Philbrick sat at the organ
and after a pleasing voluntary the bridal
party, consisting of the mother and
other relatives of the bride and immedi-
ate friends and neighbors, at a little
past 8 o'clock, arrived, followed soon
after by the bride, leaning upon the arm
of her father and preceded by her
maids and flower girls. They took their
Ia places to the left Of the pulpit while the
groom and groomsmen crossed over to
the right. After the beautiful strains of
the "Lohengrin" march had died away
Rev. Anderson stepped forward and per-
formed the marriage ceremony-the
Episcopal form modified and changed
to suit the occasion. The ceremony
over, the bridal party slowly proceeded
out by the left aisle followed by the
audience, while the soft strains of the
beautiful march from A Midsummer
Nights Dream rose and fell in soft ca.
dences.
