SOMERS


witnessed the beautiful wedding cere-
mony as performed by the Rev. Geo. j.
Rea. During the playing OF the we'd
ding march by Miss Mae Burgess, the
bride entered the parlor leaning upon
the arm of her brother Burdett; the
groom and bridesmaid, Miss Edith
Lewis, following, separating and fac
ing the minister under an arch of ever
greens, where the ceremony was per-
formed. The bride looked most charm
ing in her becoming attire of white
India linen gown trimmed with lace
and satin ribbon. She carried bOquet
of white roses. The bridesmaid wore a
lovely brocaded gown trimmed with
green velvet and white lace. Her
flowers were white carnations. After
receiving the congratulations of their
friends the happy couple led the way
to the dining room, where refresh
ments of the most delicious viands were
nicely served by young gentlemen and
ladies under the supervision of Miss
Mary Rhodes in her capable manner.
The customary brides and groom's
cakes were upon the table, which was
tastefully decorated with smilax, red
carnations, roses and daybreck. Before
the company broke up the announce
ment was made that the young ladies
would gather in the front yard as the
bride was about to throw her boquet
into the crowd, and the young lady
fortunate enough to catch it would be
the first to be married. Miss Lillian
Cooper carried off the prize. The
presents were numerous and costly.
The bride, her fathers youngest
daughter, will be greatly missed by her
many friends, for she was active in So
cial and church affairs, but they feel
proud that she has in her husband a
young man of such estimable qualities
as Clayton Reas is known to possess,
and that he has prepared for her a
comfortable and pleasant home. They
