Promptly at half-past II o'clock
the bridal party left the residence
of the brides sister, Mrs E c. Hell
frich, in two carriages and were
driven to the church. To the music
of Memberships wedding march by
Mrs. Reber, they entered the church
and proceeded to the altar. Frank
Hobbs and Walter Tanner, as ush-
ers, led the party up the aisle. Miss
Ida Fitzwater was first, as brides
maid, attired in a beautiful gown of
white silk and valencienes lace with
pink trimmings and carried clus-
ter of natural flowers. She was fol-

gave the bride away. The bride
was lovely picture, attired in
flowing train gown of white liberty

of bride roses. At the altar, waiting
to receive the bride, was the groom
and the groomsman, DR.. William

The beautiful Episcopal cere-
mony was very affecting. AS the
bride and groom were kneeling, re-
ceiving the benediction, beautiful
bell of green fir suspended over the
altar slowly turned and a shower of
roses quietly descended upon the
bride and groom.
The bridal party then slowly left
the church, the little ring bearer and
flower girl preceding and scattering
flowers in the path of the bride, and
entering carriages were driven to
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. E. G.

held to the near relatives and few
particular friends of the bride.

A large party of friends accom-
panied the happy couple to the train
and amid showers of rice and well
wishes they started on their happy
journey.
