A PRETTY WEDDING.
The Skinner-NorriS Wedding
Brilliant Social Event.

The First Congregational church was
beautifully decorated on Thursday even
ing last upon the occasion of the mar
riage of Edith NJ, eldest daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. A. Norris. and VIM.
A. Skinner of Pierre, S. D.. The pre-
vailing tone of the decorations was
yellow, an elaborate wedding arch of
pale yellow entwined with smilax being
the principal feature. The body of the
church was well filled with members of
the families of the bride and groom,
and invited guests. The wedding
march by Mr.. and Mrs. Henshaw an
nounced the brides entrance by the
vestibule upon the arm of her father,
Miss Josie Emerson acting as maid of
honor, and little Misses Margaret, sis
ter of the bride, and Myra Hendryx as
flower girls, attended byMasters Harold
Sewell and John Taylor. The groom,
attended by Harry Freeman of Pierre,
met his bride at the arch, where Rev.
G. E. Smith read the solemn and i'm
pressive service which forever unites
the destinies of these young people.
After the ceremony at the church
reception was given at the residence of
the brides parents, which was attended
by three-score friends and neighbors.
Among the people from outside the
city were Miss Norris of Deadwood,
aunt of the bride, Mrs. Carter of Aus
tin, Mimi, aunt of the groom, Rev.
| Benz. Samuel and his sister, Miss Vir-
ginia, of Willard. Light refreshments
were served by number of the young
,, }ady friends If thtr bride. TIE house
was prettily trimmed with flowers AID
plants, yellow chrysanthemums being
prominent everywhere. The bride was
beautifully gowned-wearing the we'd
ding dress which did like service for
her mother thirty years ago, and
strangely enough it looked like the
creation of the most stylish modiste of
today. The maid of honor was prettily
dressed in white with yellow trimmings.
The bride carried a bouquet of white
roses, and the maid of honor bouquet
of yellow chrysanthemums. One of
the fiower girls was dressed in white
and one in yellow, with baskets of yell
low flowers. The presents were num-
erous beautiful and rich in silver and
cut glass. A notable gift by Rev. Sam
uel and sister, who are natives OF Ar
menia, was a beautifully wrought sofa
pillow cover, in designs unique and
striking. 1t was a pretty wedding,
and the reception was delightfully."- in
formal in it's formality.
The bride came to Sank Centre with
her parents when mere child, and has
spent practically all her life as girl and
young lady in this city. She has troops
of friends and admirers, won and held
by the exercise of those charms and
virtues which adorn true womanhood.
| The groom is a prosperous business
man of Pierre, an extensive sheep
breeder, and highly esteemed by all.
Cordial congratulations are extended
with fervent hope for long life, hap
piness and prosperity.
After brief bridal tour they will
live in Pierre. The bride expects to
visit her parents at the holiday season.
