A Beautiful Wedding.

Beautiful wedding.
While there have been more ostenta-
tious weddings in Butte than that of
Wednesday night, when Miss Harriet
Ellis and J. Stout Dutton We're married, I
there has never been one more charm
ing in every detail. 1t was a wedding
where pomp and display was the last
thing thought of, and where everything
showed the love and affection felt for
the contracting couple. And while there
We're many present to witness the cere-
mony, they were all either relatives or
most intimate friends.
The house was charmingly decorat ted
with palms, smilax and cut flowers. The
hall was in pink and green, the balus-
| trade entwined with ropes Of smilav,
| with roses interviewer. On the frs
| landing from the horns of great stays
head hung pink and green Japanese lam
| terms, holding electric lights. The room
upstairs, holding the wedding gifts, WA;
| also in pink and green, as We're nearly
| all the upper floor rooms, pink carna-
| tons and ferns.
| The front parlor was charming, the
| beautiful roses and carnations imbedde0
| in green; the bow window. where the
couple stood while the ceremony was
performed, was shaded by a canopy Of
smilax, fastened back with white satin
ribbons. From the center swung a softly
shaded light, yelled in smilax. Imn!c-
| diately back of the couple was a mas
nificent shower of ferns. Windows and
corners We're all in pink and green.
The same color scheme was followed
in the second parlor. The dining room
was in red, an immense inverted basket
Of American Beauty roses being sus-
pended from above the table. From the
sides and corner of the room ran ropes
Of smilax, the ends lost in the basket Of
roses, and immense bouquets of roses
decorated table and sideboard. Ta
table was Illuminated with red cav
delabra.
At O'Clock the orchestra in the back
parlor commenced playing the wedding
march from "Lohengrin," and Mr.. Dut-
ton and his best man. Wifred johnson,
entered the parlor by the first door and
waited the coming of the bride and her
attendants. The bridal party came down
the stairs and entered the back paro,

bow window.
The bride was daintily gowned in
white crepe de chine. combined with

Duet of Bride roses. The gown had an
appearance of simplicity which was
most deceptive, for it was really an
elaborate piece Of work.
She was attended by Miss Lalia
Brooke of Helena, who was gowned ir
