many friends of the Majors residing in
these parts,
"On Christmas morning, at ll:l5I
O'Clock, the above named young people
we're united in the holy bonds of matri-
mony in the presence of large number
of relatives and friends who had been
invited to witness the ceremony. The
handsome home of Mr.. n. Major, uncle
of the bride. was elaborately decorated
for the hapyy event by the lady of the
house, whose taste and skill in arrang
ing the beautiful festoons of tropical
fruits with its accompanying foliage,
rich in darkest green, would have been
the envy of professional. In honor of
the day, too, the bright red of the holly
berries We're intertwined with the bright
gold of the oranges, and sprays of the
mistletoe with the pure white berries
were hung here and there in graceful
clusters.
AT the hour above named Mrs. Il.
Eccleston began to play Mendelssohn's
wedding march, and the bridal party
emerged from a side room and pro-
ceeded to the bay window in the parlor
where Rev. II. c. Culton, pastor of the
Presbyterian church, stood to receive
them. First came the bridesmaid and
groom. Miss Maude North and Mr..
Frank Edwards, cousin of the groom;
then the brides aunt, Mrs, Major, es-
corted by the groom, and last the bride
leaning on the arm of her uncle. Reach
ing the bridal bower the party halted,
and the bride and groom took their
places before the minister who read the
beautiful ceremony of the Episcopal
church III very impressive manner
After having pronounced Cleve Engle
hart and Maude Williams husband and
wife the officiating minister introduced
them to the company as Mr.. and Mrs.
Englehart and asked the congratula-
tions of the guests upon their union.
These were given with hearty good
will, and if their future life is as calm
and happy as their friends wished it
might be there will he nothing to mar
their journey together.
Following the congratulations came
the wedding dinner which was served
in courses and was triumph of the cul-
mary art. 1t is needless TO say that ii
WAS thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.
After the dinner the bride changed her
robes for the wedding journey, and the
couple took a carriage and drove to
Winters, there taking the train for San
Francisco where they will spend their
honeymoon.
The brides robe was made of cream
colored satin duchess, trimmed with
pearl embroidery. She wore tulle
veil with crown Of orange blossoms, and
carried bouquet of orange blossoms in
her hand. Her travelling dress was of
brown cloth trimmed with brown satin,
hat and cloak to match. She looked a
typical bride in her beautiful robes, and
her young husband had just cause to be
proud OF her.
The groom is the only son of Mr.
and Mrs. f. j. Englehart, young man
of good habits and worthy of the prize
he has won. The bride is the neice of
Mr.. and Mrs. n. Major, who looked
upon her as a daughter. She is a
woman in u thousand, and fortunate
indeed is the man who has won her for
his wife. May the richest blessings of
life be their portion, is our earnest wish.

some and costly"
