The heyck- Glraud Nuptials.

rived Wednesday indirectly from Houston, where they were married on the, night of February 2l, 1900. The wedding was one of the most beauti- full events ever chronicled in Texas--eab- crate in conception, artistic in detail, and faul,less in execution.
 The Houston Post of the 25th ult, gives us the particulars of the elegant affair as follows:
 There have been few more beautiful weddings in Houston than that Of Miss Frances Girsud and Mir. Theodore Heyck, Jr.,' last Wednesday evening in the Church of the Sacred Heart The altar of the church, in purest Gothic, was like a poem with it's lines of lighted candles, slender garlands of Northern smilax and snowy lilies, that seemed to bend their graceful heads, intenty listening. while the words were said that made the twain one flesh. Surely there never was lorler group of girl9' than those who stood to the left of the bride, nor sweeter bride than the young girl who stood with the man whom she had chosen for her husband before the priest, who spoke every word of his in. junction as if his heart was in his words. Father Hennessy has known the bride since her babyhood. The church was filled with expectant friends, and as tine notes of Wagner's stately music told that the bride was coming every head was turned to the entrance, First came the ushers, Mir. Abbott Ceckrell, Mr. F. E. Russell. NIT. Sperry Hunt and Mr. Nor man Kittreli, Jr., followed by Miss Henke and MT. Richard Giraud, Miss Brady and MT. Eugene Heyck, Miss Carr and Mir. l Will Kendall. The ushers took their places before the chaneel, two on either side, while the bridesmaids and grooms went into the chancel and stood, the for mer on the left and tho latter on the right Of the alter. After them came the maid of honor, Miss Edythe Giraud alone, and as she came up the aisle she made pie ture worth going days journey to see. | Following her came the bride and her old est brother, Mir. James Giraud The groom and his best man, Mir. Curtin. met them at the altar and MT. Giraud, giving his sister to her husband, took his place by the side of his mother, who sat with | hnr tnt,r ga- fr,t tbn f.o, The bride was dressed in gown of sheer white organdie, made very simply, but fitting her graceful figure to perfec- tion. Her veil of white tulle fell almost to the hem of her skirt and she carried boquet of white roses. All of the brides maids were dressed exactly alike, their gowns of white organde being made after the same manner and n much the same style as that of the bride. Each one wore a large black picture hat and carried al arm houduet of pink carnations.
 After the ceremony there was tecep- tion at the hride's home, which had been very artstically decorated with Northern smilax, white carnations and white roses After the congratulations were said and short tlrre spent happily with their friends Mir. and Mrs. Theodore Heyck left for St. Louis and Memphis. where they will spend part of the lune de miel, then go to their home in Forrest City, Ark, where Mir. Heyck holds an important position with the Consumers oil mill"
