MISS Ida SUTTON A BRIDE.

She Was Married Last Evening to Son oi
n. Sellers McKee-The Church and
Home Decorated With Pink Chrys-
anthemums-OtherS Society News.
The dim light that is characteristic OF the
First Presbyterian Church during the day
was driven away last evening, not only Dg
the many glowing lamps. but by the natural
brightness OF one of the most fashionaDie
weddings of the season. Exotics were every
where. Tall. stately, feathery palms droopeo
above masses of American Beauty roses
and tho fragrance from these magnificent
flowers filled the air and disputed the sway
OF the rich perfumes that arose from the
beautiful toilets of the representation OF
Pittsburg's beauty and wealth in the church.
1t was the occasion OF the wedding OF MISS
Ida Sutton, daughter of DR.. and MIS- H. D.
Sutton, and A. Hart Mckee, son of II. Sellers
Mckee.
Where the young people stood to take the
marriage VOWS was circle of palms the
center of which was an artistic confusion OF
the brides favorite flower. American Beauty
roses. The church was filed with friends
OF the couple, and expectation was on tiPtoe
till the marriage party reached the edt1ce
and marched up the aisle to the exquisite
strains OF the wedding march pealing forth
from the large organ.
Very Pretty Picture.
Hhe bride and her attendants formed as
pretty group of maidens as was ever seen
in Pittsburg or anywhere else. The maid OF
honor was Miss Amelia Oliver. and the
bridesmaids were Miss Chalfant, Miss Bake
well, Miss Mary Laughlin, Miss Patrick,
Miss Hays and Miss Holdship. They were
all attired in pink gowns of soft material,
but in the prevailing mode. and carried
American Beauty roses, tied with many
loops and ends of foliage ribbon, except the
maid of honor, who carried pink orchids.
The bride. who was, of course, the GEN.
ter of attraction, is rather petite, with
very graceful figure, while her pretty
lace is lighted up by expressive, large, soft,
brown eyes. She looked girlishly beautiful
in her wedding toilet of rich, white, corded
silk so heavy that, to use the old-fashioned
expression, 'it would almost stand alone"
cut d-collete and ending in long train.
The trimming of the dress was old point
lace. A tulle veil. fastened to the coiffure
with orange blossoms, completed the
costume. She carried white orchids tied
with white ribbon. The groom was attended
by Mr.. Stansbury Sutton, n brother of the
bride, and the ushers were number of
prominent society men of Pittsbnra: Mr.
Hays, Mr.. william Robinson, Mr.. j. Walker
Rhodes, Mr.. j. Verner Seattle and DR.. Will
lam Blair. Rev. Matthew Riddle, ID: D.. OF
the Western University, conducted the
marriage ceremony.
After the service ut the church there was
a reception at the home of the brides
parents, Ridge avenue, Allegheny, which
was attended by the relatives and close
friends OF the two young people.
ANumber of Relatives Present.
The McKees have large number of rela-
tives in the two cities and elsewhere, most
of whom were present. Among the Sutton
relatives was an old lady who had come
from her distant nome to see her grand
daughter married, and who was the guest Of
honor, receiving n great Geal or attention
from everybody. The decorations at the
house were elaborate and equal in beauty 10
those of the charch, helping to carry out the
idea of the ''pink' wedding by consisting of
pink chrysanthemums and carnations. The
mantel in the parlor-a handsomely carved
structure-was banked in ferns, with chrys-
anthemums interspersed with the green,
room. in the center OF the table, was a basket
of pink chrysanthemums, the same lovely
flower being used generally for the decora-
tions of the room. The library was relieved
OF much of irs ordinary studious aspect by
the introduction of flowers, large vase of
chIys anthemums on the mantel being the
most noticeable floral feature. A judicious
disposition OF palms made handsome back
ground for the glowing beauty OF the flowers,
and the mansion generally was like vast
as much as anything.
The bride and groom are among the for
tunate few that can lay out their wedding
tour without taking into consideration the
cost. They have planned II trip across the
Atlantic, and will sail on Saturday for Eu-
rope, where they intend to make the grand
tour" When they return from Europe, in
about three months time, they will reside
close to the brides parents home in Allie
gheny.
