P. Martin. It was essentially pink
wedding, pink roses, pink ribbons, pink
candles, pink shades. The floral COLI
umns on either side of the rose twined
arch of pink under which the bride and
groom stood were of pink roses, and
topped with pink shaded candles. The
bride, even, instead of the conventional
white bouquet. carried, tucked grace
fully under her arm, handsome bunch
of tiny pink roses. The gown was of

the train, was one mass of tiny rufties.
making by far the daintiest effect ever
seen in a wedding dress. The light veil
was fastened in the luxurious COLDER
hair with a handsome diamond star.
Miss Creagh certainly made one of
the prettiest brides that Sam Francisco
has seem for many a day. The maid
of honor, Miss Mabel Cluness,. sister of
the groom, looked particularly charm
ing in an imported gown of white crepe
de chine over pink silk; she also car
ried pink roses.
The ceremony itself, which took place
at l o'clock, was witnessed by the rela-
tives and few intimate friends only
about thirty in number, who afterWard
sat down to sumptuous wedding
breakfast.
A happy coneeit was that which
turned the reception into the form of
an afternoon tea, about 200 friends
coming and going between the hours

The Tuesday Literary Club gave a
most enjoyable reception on Monday
afternoon to Mrs. Amanda Lewis of
Denver The parlors of the Golden
Eagle were thrown open to the club
through the kindness of Mrs. Frank
Gray, and, thanks to the energy of its
President, Mrs. A. L. Johnston, and her
helpers, they appeared very attractive
to the eye as one entered. Great
branches of the graceful pepper, shin
ing masses of the ponegranate with
it's flaming blossom. artistic bunches
of wild oats with here and there
dash of bright-colored nasturtiums, all
united to transform the usually stern
locking hotel parlors into cosy, home
like reception room. Delicious lemon
AIDE was served in the hall by the
Misses Alice and Helen Weinstock, AL
ice Dray, Mrs. Bruce Dray and Miss
Ida Herndon. During the afternoon a
select trio composed of Messrs. Neale,
Franz and Heyman discoursed sweet
music as only they can do, and all IN
all the reception, entered into and
planned so hurriedly, was voted a great
success. 1t is to be regretted that more
of the ladies were not aware or the
action of the Tuesday Club in enter
tanning Mrs. Lewis, as they missed
great treat not alone in the pleasant
social time, but also in the delightful
little talk on woman club matters with
which she favored us. She re-
lated many incidents, some touching.
some amusing, of the good work OF
the women, and how in every enter
prise they have undertaken and &C
complished they have been followed by
a complimentary and voluntary effort
on the part of the men, thus proving
that where woman leads man will fol-
low, belt on an ascending or descend
ing scale and why, therefore, woman
must be ever striving upward and on
ward. The aim of Mrs. Lewis is to
interest the many clubs in our Golden
West in the advantage of federation
and she spoke most convincingly upon
the subject for good half hour There
were many beautiful lessons for both
old and young, for both parent and
child, in her charmingly off-hand talks
on both occasions of cur meeting with
her. One of them was that in We-
mans effort toward self-culture the
home must be the first and ever-pres-
ent thought. If she wishes to progress
it is only that she may be the better
mother, the better teacher of her child,
the better wife, that she may be the
intellectual mate of her husband as
well as his honekeeper. Among those
