shupp.Muneer Wedding.

One of the prettiest church weddings
ever held in Salem was that which at.
tended the marriage of Miss Mabel,
youngest daughter of Rev. and Mrs. N
Shupp, to Mr. George NJ. Munger Jr.,
on Wednesday evening, April 80, 1902,
The ceremony was performed at the
Chemeketa-street Evangelical church
at s o'clock last evening by the brides
father Rev. N. Shupp, in the presence
of about 200 invited guests, who were
conducted to their seats by Messrs r.
A. Watson and S. A. siewert, who
served as ushers.
The little chapel had been very beau
tifully decorated for the occasion. AT
the rear of the pulpit was bank of
perfect apple blossoms, while festoons
of ivy were arranged from the ceiling
and chandeliers. The pink and green
effect resulting from the decorations,
coupled with the dainty red light from
the tissue-paper-covered electric light
globes, was especially pretty. The al
tar railing was covered with dogwood
which. with some very choice ferns.
completed the church decorations.
At the appointed hour Miss Jean
Shupp. a sister of the bride, entered the
church auditorium, and, to accompani-
ment on the piano by Miss Winnifred
Byrd. very expressively sang "Protes.
tations." by Morris. At the conclusion
of the selection, Miss Byrd began the
| execution of Lohengrin's wedding
march. to the strains of which the
bridal party entered. The groom, at
tended by w. H. Burghardt, Jr., as
groomsmand, and preceded by the oifici
ating clergyman, Rev. Shupp, passed
up the side aisle and took their places
before the pulpit Miss Neva Girls
void. attired in a gown of blue silk
and carrying an arm boquet of pink
carnations, was maid of honor, and
marched up the center aisle, followed
by little Miss May Readman and Mas
ter Marian Martin, who scattered
roses in the brides pathway. The
bride followed unattended. Her natur-
al beauty was enhanced by her we'd
ding gown, which was a white silk or
candle. and she carried a beautiful
boquet of brides roses. AZ the altar
the bride was joined by MIR. Munger,
and the impressive marriage cere'
mony of the Evangelical church was
performed by Rev. Shupp. During the
ceremony Miss Byrd presided at the
piano, and softly rendered a rosary by
Nevin, which contributed to the i'm
pressiveness Of the service. After the
ceremony the bridal party and a few
intimate friends repaired to the homo
of the bride adjoining the church
where an elegant wedding supper was
served.

people. The bride is well-known In

years residence, and attended VIII
lamette University. She is possessed
of a sweet disposition, which, with her
