A Beautiful Evening Ceremony Occurs
in ST. Pauls Episcopal Church
Miss Powell Dobson to Mr..
Julian A. NeeIy.

One of the very prettiest Of the
| many weddings that have been cele-
brated in the Twin-City this fall, was
the one which took place at St. Paul's
| Episcopal church Wednesday Nov. 25,
at $50 o'clock, p. m. when Miss Powell
Dobson, youngest daughter of the late
Hon. Joseph Dobson, became the
bride of Mr.. Julian A. Neely.
The interior Of the pretty church
which was exquisitely decorated for
two special events-Thanksgiv and
a wedding-presented an enchanting
scene of floral beauty and loveliness.
The brilliant radiance c { the electric
lights, mellowed to soft glow, the
clear white light Of the wax candles,
upheld in seven silver candle sticks,
which burned before the beautiful
stained chancel window, and just
beneath which the super-altar was ar
tistically arranged in tropical fruits
and flowers. On either side of the silk
en- draped communion altar, around the
marble fCunt. ABOUT the elegant read
ing desk and chancel railing the same
"glories of autumn"-white, yellow
and maroon, supported by golden
sheaves of wheat, prevailed; while
tracery of delicate vines ran, the
whole making a picture at once So
pleasing and beautiful as to elicit
unstinted praise and admiration from
the large and brilliant audience of
friends there assembled to witness
the troth pIighting OF two happy
hearts.
Whilst awaiting the arrival Of the
bridal party, Miss Juliet Sutton, who
presided at the organ, charmingly
rendered Rubenstein's Offertory in &;
Leoyd's TIE Deum; and presently when
tue sweet strains OF Lohengrin's wed
ding march pealed out on the per
fumed air, the groom, with his best
man, Mr.. o. B. Eaton, entered from
the vestry-rOom on the left, crossed
the fiowerdecked platform and stood
on the right. Immediately the
ushers, Messrs. a. Mcdowell and
j. NJ. Lentz, advanced down the
centre aisle and took their places on
the expectant hush, cane the lovely
bride, attended by her handsome
sister, Miss Sallie Dobson, as maid Of
honor. Slowly and gracefully, and
bearing with unconscious ease and
dignity, the hundreds Of eager, admir-
ing eyes bent upon them, they march
ed down the aisle, mounted the plat
FORM, ana UIle groom JOlnIuS MS eA-
pectant bride, they stopped before
the altar, where the rector, Rev. j. f.
George, solemnized the marriage vows
in most impressive manner. Miss
Dobson gave her sister away. The
brides dress was handsome velvet
trimmed, gray crepon, with the front
of the corsage draped in lace, spark
ling with silver sequins, while the
dainty Trilby bonnet, with it's jewell
ed clasps and pink roses, matched in
color the shade Of the dress. She
carried beautiful bouquet Of white
chrysanthemums.
The maid of honor was also hand
somely attired in a velvet trimmed,
but garnet dress, a richly plumed
broad brimmed hat, and bore
bouquet similar to the brides. AS soon
as the beautiful ceremony was over,
the newly married couple, with their
attendants, drove to the Hotel Phoenix,
and held an informal reception.
The bride was the recipient Of
numerous beautiful wedding souv
enirS.

pleased to welcome their host OF
friends. d. e, o.
