SILVER -SEWELL.


which took place at Holy Trinity at Z
o'clock on Tuesday evening. was the lat
est and prettiest OF ST ries Of pretty
weddings which have occurred 10 this
church in the last two or three years. A
church filled with wedding guests keyed
to wedding pitch. psrvaded by the per
tume of flowers, dazzling with summer
hats, shimmering with .auzy stuffs over
silk is worth long waiting for. The
church was well filled at half past six.
At ssven it would positively not hold
another person. Miss Rice played things
full o: expect itions, o: notes that were
not finished, Of triumph delayed but
approaching. At 1.-THE choir. process
s:onal singing the glad no.es Of the
Lohengrin bridal anthem, i'm slow pro-
gress from the door to the altar rails,
gave notice that the b-iGe approached.
Then enc by oIe. isolated, s'owiy, with
sweet dignity the bridesmaids paced
adoyn the aisle. Miss Helen Welch
came first, and conquered. Gowned. as
we're all of the bridesmaids. in white
mouss ,line de soie over blue, she carried
a large bunch of pink roses over her arm
as the priests carry palms-to lay at the
feet Of the one they come to greet-not
fer her own decoration. She wore a
white hat covered with nodding, brill
liant pink flowers. She was followed by
Miss Wheion, bearing triumphal roses.
She was followed by Miss Bartruff, and
she by Miss Ura Kelley. All in white
and pink and with very pretty hats
This slow march solus by the=e four
young ladies was most effective. Like
a splendid overture it prepared the way
for the entrance OF the welding party.
The party which they met and followed
to the altar, consisted Of the ushers. Mr..
Milton Darling, Rev. Robert Turner. Mr..
Guy Hurlbut and Mr.. Frank Cowdery,
then the four bridesmaids and the
maid OF honor, Miss Stella Elliott, gown
ed in white and carrying white roses.
Then the bride, for whom expectation
was strained, on the arm of her father.
Mr.. Seweil. The bride looked lovely in
a gown OF cream moire velours and EN-
broderei chiffon and veil which is an
heirloom in the groom's family. She
carried white prayer book. She was
calm and dignifiei, and the groom was
jubilant, in spite OF his pallor, the re-
cult OF recent illness.
The bridal party was met before the
altar by the groom and his best man,
Rev. Charles Young. OF Omaha. The
ceremony was performed by the Rt.
Rev. George Worthington. bishop of
Nebraska, who read the service with
tender impressiveness.
Three flower arches had been erected
in the aisle, one by the Delta Gamma
fraternity and two by the Altar guild.
Wild flowers. roses and carnations, food
ed the air with fragrance. The arch in
the rood screen, decorated by Mrs. Mac
Donald, was almost covered with Easter
lille S, and from the apex depended large
bell tied with broad white satin ribbons.
This was the central point OF the scheme
of decoration, around it on pulpit,
and on font were roses, carnations and
violets, and the Delta Gamma's in pink,
white and blue. The organ music was
perfect from the beginning. and tn: ex-
pressions of admiration for the smooth
ness and sympathy Of the accompani-
ment to the ceremony was
universal as the company poured
out Of the church. There was no formal
