10 @. Cook and family Of this city
will I've interested in the perusal Of the
account from the Norfolk, Va, Land
mark OF the 22nd inst, Of the marriage
Of the son, Alan. AS Miss Leila, who
was present, took into her confidence
and sought council Of a number Of the
ladies Of our city In making her prepa-
rations, they will be especially inter
ested. Here Is the article in questions:
zone Of the most brilliant social
events Of the season was the wedding
OF Miss Emma Blow Freeman, the
charming daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Arthur Q. Freeman, OF this city, and
Lieutenant Alan NJ. Cook, OF the en-
gineer corps Of the United States Ma
Wy, which took place In this city last
evening.
Eight o'clock was the time set for
the ceremony, but long before the
magnificent auditorium Of Christ p.
e. church, where the nuptial rites
we're celebrated, was filled with an
audience composed OF the flower Of
Norfolk society. The old church had
been handsomely decorated for the oc-
casion and the many exquisltely beau
tlful costumes Of the ladies present,
mingled with the glitter Of gold-laced
uniforms and all scintillating meath
myriads Of gas jets formed a picture
fair to look upon. The grand organ,
under the skillful touch OF Mr.. ]. J.
Miller, organist Of the church, pealed
forth many charming melodies, while
the wedding guests we're awaiting the
arrival Of the bridal party.
AT 500 o'clock the strains OF the
Lohengrln bridal chorus announced
the arrival Of the bride and groom, and
every eye in the vast assemblage was
turned toward the main entrance,
through which the party made its APP
pearance. First came the attendants,
ushers and bridesmaids, In couples;
then the maid OF honor, followed by
the bride, leaning on the arm Of her
father. The happy groom, accompa-
MED by his best man, met his bride at
the altar, where the rector OF the
church, the Rev. DIR. o, S, Barten, pro
nounced the words which bound them
together for life,
While this impressive ceremony was
taking place the picture formed by the
contracting parties and their attend
ants was one OF beauty and anima-
tion. Standing singly or in pairs they
in the ensemble presented a scene
worthy the brush OF an artist.
The bride was elegantly gowned In
white satin duchesse, cut en- train, with
flowing bridal veil. She carried bride
roses, caught up with wide white satin
ribbon. The maid OF honor, Miss Liz
zie Allmand Freeman, wore whlto silk
aud carried bouquet OF lilies OF the
valley. The bridesmaids were also at
tired in becoming white costumes, and
carried large lunches Of Easter lilies.
They were Miss Cook Of Vinita, l. r.;
Miss Reed, OF Portsmouth; Miss Peg
ram, OF Richmond; Miss Chamberlain,
Miss Burruss, Miss Ward, Miss Whit
tic and Miss Hllllard, Of Norfolk.
The groom aud his best man, Mr..
Nutting, OF the navy, were attired in
the full dress uniform Of their rank.
Lieutenant Harris, U. S. A.; Naval
Constructor Hobson, Engineer Memo
cal and Captain Muse, who acted as
ushers, wore full dress uniforms, as did
also Mr.. Arthur Freeman, Jr., who is

Military Institute. The other ushers,
Messrs. James n. Wake, George 10y
all and Turner Johnston, Of this city,

After the ceremony Mr.. and Mrs.

OF the brides parents, in Boush street,
where an elegant reception was held.

ulations. MIR. and Mrs Cook left via
