The Noyes residence was decorated
inside and out The exterior presented
the appearance of an Oriental mansion
set in forest. The yard was set in
evergreens and Unfortunately strewn
through the artificial grove were in
Vulnerable Japanese lanterns. On the
Wyoming street side was large pavil-
ion constructed Of canvas. The interior
of this dancing house was blaze of
electricity.
The wedding party entered the house
from the Granite street side through a
canopied way festooned with incandes-
cents The party, upon entering, was
ushered into the pink room on the west
wing of the house. Here in the alcove,
which was gorgeously trimmed with
brides roses entertained in a lattice of
smilax, stood the bridal couple beneath
huge bell of roses. To the left was
veritable bouquet-a bank of roses,
completely hiding the mantel. This
room was where the reception was
held-the initial number of the pro-
gramme at the home. From this room
through the arch of smilax the white
room was entered, adjoining was the
pearl room. The banisters in the hall
way were draped in white caught up
with pink ribbons. Across the hall was
the jewel or presents room. The large
table in the dining room was trans
formed into huge fountain of flow

say that the floral decorations and
drapings were well nigh perfect-a gem
of beauty, dream of loneliness.
The reception was from s to II
o'clock, after which the parting words
We're spoken. The bride and groom,
showered with congratulations and
well wishes, went to the Great North
ern depot and left in a private car.
They will extensively tour Europe.
The car was not the dividing line be-
tween beauty and commonplace In
deed it had been in the hands of the
florist, too. It's interior was festooned
and submerged in roses and carna-
tions-a bridal dream of beauty and
grandeur, luxurious in every detail.
To put it into cold dollars, the value
of the presents the bride received is
close to 100000. The large dining room
in the Noyes residence is veritable
diamond, gold and silver repository.
The magnificent presents as they were
received were arranged on tables and
shelves so as to show to advantage.
The bride-elect directed the arrange

about the room, her efforts being to
