SYNAGOGUE
By Which Miss Emma KrauS Becomes dis
Alfred Marcus-Othsr Weddings Yesterday,
Parties and Social Affairs.

One Of the prettlest church weddings
witnessed In this city, took place las
night at the Jewish Synagogue, on Eotf
street. At seven o'clock, in the pres
ence OF an assemblage Of friends which
completely filed the ediice, Rabbi b.
A. Bonnheim, in the impressive cere-
mony of the Hebrew church, united
Mr.. Alfred Marcus and Miss Emma
Kraus in the holy bond Of matrimony.
Long before the time for the cere'
mony a stream OF carriages deposited
their fair burdens at the door Of the
Synagogue, and all wore an air or eX-
pectancy when the clock struck the
hour of seven. A few moments later
the organ, under the sSillful manipula-
ton OF Miss Mary Wilde, pealed forth
the gladstone notes OF the Lohengrin
march, aud the bridal party walked up
the main aisle. The scene was ANNA
ted and pleasing, the bright costumes
Of the ladies contrasting agreeablV with
the conventional black worn By the
gentlemen, and the rich fragrance ex-
hailed by the plants and rare exotics
which adorned the pulpit, lending an
additional charm, which was enhanced
by the soft melody proceeding from the
organ.
First came the ushers, Chas. J. Beck
man and Lee Sonneborn, G.. S. Emshei-
mer and Benz. Horkhelmer, Jesse
Baumberger and Bernie Kraus. The
groom followed, with his best man,
William Simon, of New York. Then
came the maid Of honor, Miss
Nellie Kraus, sister Of the
bride, attired in white China
silk, trimmed in rich oriental lace. The
lady attendants came next. Miss Clara
Kraus wore a Nile green silk, with
elaborate trimmings in lace, and Miss
Lena Marcus looked charming in dress
OF pink silk, brocaded. The bride
leaned on the arm Of her father. She
was becomingly attired il a costume OF
white bengaline, trimmed in duchess
lace, and wore diamond ornaments, a
handsome pendant being present
from the groom.
When the words had been spoken
which made the happy pair man and
wife, the party retired in reverse orders
TO the strains of the ever popular Tam
hauser march. The bridal party enter
ed carriages In waiting and were driv-
en- at once to the Hotel Windsor, the
guests following. In the hotel parlors
a brief reception was held, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Marcum were overwhelmed with
the congratulations and best wishes OF
their friends, starting most suspicious
~ upon their married life.
After brief season Of conversation,
all repaired to the dining room, where
an elaborate menu was discussed.
Tables were arranged in circular form
in the centre of the commodious hall,
with smaller tables in each corner. AT
1926 o'clock the bride and groom were
driven to the B. IL o. depot, where
they departed for an extended western
tour. Upon their return they will
make their home In New Haven, Conn.
