The Social Calendar.
One of the largest and most beauti-
fully appointed church weddings re-
Gently seen in local Catholic circles was
solemnized Thursday evening at S
O'Clock, when Miss May Flahaven and
Dennis Charles Noonan were united in
marriage at the church of the Holy
Rosary. The chancel was adorned with
palms, cut flowers and smilax. The au-
ditorium of the church was filled with
friends and relatives of the bride and
groom. AS the bride and her attend
ants entered the church Mrs. Rose Ra-
ker at the organ played the Lohengrin
wedding march. Miss May Flaherty,
maid OF honor, led the way to the altar;
the bride, accompanied by her father,
came next; then two tiny flower girls
bearing baskets of fragrant blossoms,
and the bridesmaid, Miss Nellie Fla
haven, with the groomsman, Will Moo
nan, closed the bridal procession. The
ushers were Jeremiah Manning, ]. C.
Norton and Raymond Kelly. The mar
riage service was read by Father Hor-
rigan, and programme of wedding
music was given, with Miss May Hor-
rigan as soloist. Miss Thompson played
violin solo. The brides gown, white
crepe de chine over white taffeta, was of
unusual beauty and elegance. 1t was
full trained and elaborately trimmed
with lace. A tulle veil fastened to the
coiffure fell in soft folds to the hem of
the skirt. The bridal flowers were white
roses. Miss Flaherty was charmingly
gowned in white organdie over pink taf-
feta; she carried pink roses. Miss Mel
lie Flafaven wore white organdie over
pale blue taffeta and carried spray of
white roses. The. gowns of the attend
ing maids, as we'll as that of the bride,
were of Partisan design and had all the
daintiness and style which French taste
could give them. A wedding dinner, to
which only near friends and relatives
were bidden, was given at the home of
the BRIDES parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Flahaven, Sixteenth avenue south. Mr..
and Mrs. Noonan have gone to Yellow
stone Park for wedding trip, and will
be at home at Fort Dodge, Ia, Aug. 10.
Mr. Noonan was until recently chief
clerk in the freight department of the
St. Louis railway i'll this city, and is
now ticket agent for the same company
at Fort Dodge. Mr.. and Mrs. Noonan,
OF Dupont avenue north, gave dinner
Tuesday evening for the Flahaven- Moo
nan bridal party. Wednesday evening
Mr.. Thomas Noonan entertained at din
ner for the same company at his home
on Twelfth avenue north.
Monday evening few of the children
of Sunnyside gave delightful rendering
of cinderella" at the home of Mrs. G.
c. Storer, 2116 Hennepin avenue. The
play was given in the large parlor, and
the improvised stage was prettily deco
rated with palms, ferns and flowers.
Great credit is due to the children for
the tasteful arrangement of the costumes
and the admirable way in which all the
young actors took their parts. Miss
Catherine Storer, as Cinderella, was
most charming princess, and Miss Cora
Larpenteur, as Prince, was fair match
for her. Miss Alice Larpenteur, under
whose direction the play was given, was
a most cruel stepmother. The naughty
sisters, Miss Ruth Harding and Miss
Olive Therien, played their parts in
truly artistic manner. Miss Marguerite
Chadbourn was very loyal Herald, and
last but not least, Miss Mary Storer, in
her dainty costume of gauze and silver,
was in ideal fairy godmother. After the
play there were tableaux, and the young
people served light refreshments to the
sixty guests, all of whom pronounced
the entertainment great success.
