simple nuptial rite and the wedding
party left for the scene of the even
ing's festivities. Miss Hannah Mar
tinsen was bridesmaid and Mr.. G.. H.
Foster best man. The bride appeared
lovely in lavender gown with the
traditional veil and orange blossoms,
and the bridegroom nobly endured
the ordeal, more trying than a dozen
calls for central " at one and the
