If Senator Vance had a house as big as a
town hall it would scarcely have held all his
friends who would have liked to be present
there last night at the marriage of his pretty
niece. Miss Florence Cooper, to Mr.. Charles
Manley Busbee. As it was a delighted COM
pany, which filled every nook and corner of
his home, witnessed the prettiest home we'd
ding of the winter. The house was hand
somely decorated with flowers. a bridal bower
being formed in the front parlor, where the
bridal couple stood to be married under two
great floral hearts. Out in the hallway arches
were sprung over the staircase, top and bot
tom, and these had white hearts as the central
point in each. Senator and Mrs. Vance received
in the front parlOr, the guests arriving so fast
close to s o'clock that they had but time for a
word of welcome to each. Mrs. Vance was
dressed in white silk, with feather garniture.
His eminence, Cardinal Gibbons. attended by
DIR. Chappelle, first came through the ribboned
aisle down the two parlors and took their places
near the bower. Then came the two couriers.
Miss Edith Norris and Miss Lizzie Justice,
wearing white tulle gowns and pretty null
hats. The bridesmaids, Miss Maud Weller,
all Of Louisville, and Miss Nelen Fowle
OF North Carolina came next. They
wore white tulle gowns garlanded with grasses
and silver wheat and had on little crowns of
silver and green. Miss Sarah Badger Hoke of
North Carolina. the maid of honor, wore white
faille and ostrich feathers and carried bride
roses. Senator Vance escorted the fair bride,
whose gown was Of silver brocade trimmed with
ostrich tipG. Her tulle veil was held by a
chaple. Of orange blossoms. She wore a
diamond pendant. the grooms gift, and her
bouquet was of white violets. Cardinal Glib
bons prefaced the ceremony with a short adj
dress. The quartet of St. Matthew'S sang
20, Perfect Love-" as a wedding march and
the "Gaudeamus" when the ceremony was over.
Mr.. Busbee is a prosperous young lawyer of
Raleigh, N. c., and his best man was Mr.. Theo-
dore Davis, the attorney general Of that state.
When the ceremony was over all pressed for
ward to congratulate the happy couple, the
dining room was thrown open and the company
commenced to thoroughly enjoy itself. When
Mr.. and Mrs. Busbee left for their bridal tour
the bride was gowned in brown cloth with a
bonnet and cloak to match. They will be gone
a fortnight and will make visit to Mrs. Vance
before starting for Their own home in Raleigh.
The brides presen'S were superb and came
from all parts Of the south well as from
friends in this city. They were not shown last
night.
