dings ever seen in Topeka was that Of
Miss Alice May Prescott, daughter OF
Judge and Mrs A. H. Horton. and Mr..
Charles Lincoln Brown. Of Arkansas
City, which took place Thursday even
ing at $780, at the residence at 300 Har-
rison street
Much time and thought was lavished
on the decorations, and the result was
more than satisfactory. When Mrs
Horton returned from Florida she
brought with her a quantity Of gray
moss, and this was draped over the pic
lures, massed on the chandeliers, fes-
TONED in the doorways and on the cur
tains. In the first parlor were jars Of
spicy red carnations, and in the second
parlor. where the ceremony was per-
formed, pink roses were used. The
bridal party stood in front of the mantle
which was banked to the ceiling with
palms In the midst of the palms were
hung Miss Prescott's and Mr.. Browns
pictures, draped with the wedding veil
Of the brides sister-in-law.
Across the center of the room was a
rope Of snilax which separated the
bridal party from the guests It was
caught at either end with a fluffy pink
satin bow. Tall wicker vases Of pink
roses were also at either end of the
smilax.
The piano was in the hall. and as Miss
Ollie O'Brien played Mendelssohn's we'd
ding march the bridal party entered and
took their position in front of the
mantle. They came in the following
order: Miss Lolita Ranney and Miss
Rosamond Horton, Miss Edna Crane

Winnifred Prescott. the maid of honor,
