at the Presbyterian church last
Wednesday was a most pleasing
event.
The pulpit and choir platform
were so decorated that they pre-
sented massive bank of green
foliage and beautiful flowers.
just at the head of the center
aisle a double arch about ten or
twelve feet in height was formed,
This was tastefully trimmed with
trailing vines and flowers and
from the center of the top was
suspended a wedding bellperhaps
two feet in diameter, covered
with white asters.
In front of the arch the aisle
was closed by a white ribbon
drawn from the tops of opposite
pews and tied in nice bow-knot
At half past seven the doors
were thrown open and in a very
few minutes the seating capacity
of the church was occupied.
The front seats had been re-
served for the invited guests, and
as they entered, each lady was
escorted to her seat by one of the
four handsome ushers in full even
ing dress.
The organ and organist were
both concealed in the mass of TO-
liage and flowers on the choir
platform, and several minutes
before the ceremony the floral
effect was made more delight
full by strains of sweet music that
came forth as delightful compile
ment to the odors of the sweet
scented flowers.
Presently a fairy-like creature
emerged through the door lead
ing from the room at the rear,
tripod daintily up the aisle and
with nimble fingers united the
ribbon, that had been guarding
the entrance to the arch, and in
a moment disappeared down the
aisle.
Miss Honore G. Dickson, of
Media, Pa, whose skilful fingers
had been producing the music
from the organ, now. switched off
to Lohengrin's Wedding Song,
the doors opened quietly from the
little room, and the groom and
his brother, Mr.. Wilson Mace, as
best man, walked up the aisle
with quiet dignity, and stopped
Just inside the arch and facing
DR.. West who was standing just
in front of the pulpit platform.
The groom and best man had
scarcely halted when Mr.. Clar-
ence Trout and Mr.. Wellesley
Greathead came from the room
and walked up the aisle, and took
position at the right of the groom
and best man. These gentlemen
were soon followed by DR.. George
M. Robinson, of Washington,
brother of the bride, and Merrill
w. Mace, cousin Of the groom,
and took position beside those
who had Immediately preceded
them. Then came Miss Gather
inc Cook and Miss Alice Dickson,
the latter cousin of the bride,
then, Miss Nellie Trout, and
Miss Jessie Mace, of Chambers
burg, the latter cousin OF
the groom; and then, our little
fairy flower girl, Miss Maria
Dickson Alexander, cousin of
the bride, and last in the process
sion, was the bride and her sis
ter, Miss Dixie Robinson. The
bridal party are now formed-the
bride and groom directly under
the wedding bell and directly in
front of DR.. West---the ladies'
standing in a a row to the brides
left at right angles with the bri-
dal couple and minister, while
the gentlemen stood in the same
position directly opposite, on the
groom's right.
In a beautiful and impressive
ceremony, DR.. West united the
happy couple, the low sweet
strains of music from the organ
adding much to the sole unity OF
the occasion.
