One OF the most elegant social
: events ever In Salina was the
marriage OF Mr. l.. A. Well to Miss

Upon reaching the arch the leading
couples parted leaving the bride and
groom directly beneath 1t. The
ceremony, which was performed by
Rabbi DIR. Berkowitz, Of Kansas
City, was beautiful and impressive.
According TO an ancient custom OF
the Jews, the bride and groom
pledge each other, TO share equally
their SORROWS and joys, by drinking
from . cup OF wine and the exchange
Of rings. The Rabbits address con-
corning the duties and responsible
ties Of matrimony was very eloquent |
and instructive. During the cere-
mOny the guests arose and at the |
close all came forward with con-
CALCULATIONS and good wishes for
their future life.
The bride looked lovely in her
wedding costume. Her dress was OF
white MORE cut entrain, point lace
and ribbon trimmings, with bridal

and ribbon trimmings, slippers aud
glo "es ensuite, natural flowers. Miss

green sublime silk, slippers and
gloves ensuite, natural flowers.
About . o'clock the master Of
Mr.. Sam Roihschild,
that the guests would
adjourn to the banquet hall where
was displayed q feast that would
have tempted Epicurus. Every de-
tail was carried out In the most
style. The supper hour
passed most pleasantly, every one
was In good spirits. At the close OF
the second course seventy-one tele-
grams Of congratulations were read
by the master OF ceremonies.
Rabbi Berkowitz was then asked
10 respond to the toast: "Matrimony,
The bloom or the blight OF life's
happiness" He concluded his re-
by saying that ne knew that
he was expressing the sentiments Of
hose present in wishing and be-
ieving this was a flower that would
bloom In happiness forever. Miss
Msllie Gradwohl then read a letter J
rom the grosm's younger brother
Mr.. Emanuel We'll, expressing his
yOod wishes and congratulating the
iewly married couple. Mr.. Roths-
,hild then called upon Mr.. August
