Hon Grove L. Johnson on Thursday
evening, when two well-known young
people Bruce Lee Dray, son of Mr.. and
Mrs Findley r. Dray, and Miss Mabel
johnson, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Grove L. Johnson, took upon them
selves the vows of matrimony. The
house was very elaborately and taste
fully decorated for the occasion, the
tone of the parlors being pink. An
artistically draped canopy in the front
parlor from which was suspended a
wedding bell, held by two white doves,
formed a charming setting to the pref
ty picture in which the bride and groom
were the central figures. Lovers knots
in pink ribbons, intertwined with as
paragus ferns, added greatly to the
effect throughout the rooms. The hall
was beautifully decorated in green, the
staircase being entirely concealed by a
mass Of rushes. The predominating
color in the library was yellow, the flow
ers used being double sunflowers and
French marigolds. In the dining room
the crowning effort of the decorator was
seen. Three large silk flags We're
draped about the walls, with streamers
Of red, white and blue ribbons attached
to the chandeliers and connecting with
the ends of the brides table, which was
in the shape Of the letter IT" Prompt
ly, the guests arrived, and to the
strains of Mendellsohns Wedding

bridesmaids leading the way through

orchestra played the Bridal Chorus"
from Lohengrin, while the guests were

music. The bride was attired in a
