slowly moving up the centre aisle took their
places At the left of the altar. Next followed
the bridesmaids. the Misses Ida Echoltz of

Pa, taking positions at the right OF the altar.
Miss Eicholtz wore white organdie over

groomsman, Mr.. o. V. Lautzeuhlser, next
entered the church and. following the west
aisle, met the bridal party before the altar,
where the formal presentation took place.
The bride was charming picture, costumed
In lovely creation of white organdie over
white silk, and pearl trimmings. Fragrant
roses nestled in her hair and these harmon.
lied beautifully with the cluster Of bride
roses, intermngled with maiden hair fern,
that she carried. Mr.. Frame wore q fault
less full dress suit, and both he and his bride
endured the ordeal gracefully and well. All
the gentlemen of the party we're attred In
full dress. The ceremony was performed BY
the brida's father, Rev. D. A. Kuhn, assisted
by Father Wells in the prayer and benedic-
ton. During the prayer and bentdiction the

ating picture that was both serious and
impressive. At the conclusion Of the cere-
mony the wedding party, comprising eight
members, marched down the centre aisle to
the music of Mendelssohn's wedding march,
and Immediately repaired to the home Of the
bride where an informal reception was held.
Owing to the legion Of friends Of both the
contracting parties and the limited room at
command the invitations were limited TO

The presents we're numerous and elegant. and
the sumptuous feast that was served was
simply indescribable. Mr.. and Mrs. Frame
