1t seems happy coincidence that
the season which was so brilliantly
- inaugurated by several fashion
able weddings should have num-
ber of stylish marriages to lend eclat to it's
closing weeks.
Good taste cha racterized all three of the
fashionable weddings, two of which-the
Grant-POnd on Monday evening and the
Jarboe- Bull on Thursday morning-were
solemnized at St. Luke's..
The wedding of Miss Ella Goad ana c.
Osgood Hooker on Wednesday was a
fashionable home crush. Five hundr ed
invited guests witnessed the ceremony and
offered their congratulations to the happy
young CO uple. The bridal presents, which
were displayed on the upper floor of the
Goad mansion, were without doubt the
handsomest ever seen in this City. They
came from all over the world and COM
prisei the latest conceits in Jewels. por-
celain, silverware and bric-a- brac. One
large table alone was devoted to the cut
glass, which represented q fortune in
itself.
Among the many elegant gifts the lamp
sent by Mr.. and Mrs. Herman Oelrichs
was greatly admired. 1t is of Tiffany
glass, the now so stylish crystal and gold
effect, and OF which but very few have as
yet been seen on this coast
Another much admired present was the
medallion brooch surrounded with dia
monds-gems OF the purest water-the gift
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Lloyd Tevis. DR.. Harry
Tevis sent a most artistic diamond spray
with white aigrette, a fashionable halr
ornament.

explained by the numerous nickel-in-the-
slot machines, which contained many
surprises for the guests.

popular members occupied prominent
positions in the large hall and the curtain
