WEDDING AT SILVER
CREEK.
Two Of Lander Counfy's Popnlar Young
People Welded Christmas Night.

A very pretty wedding took place at
Silver Creek, (the home of the brides
mother) on Christmas night, 1902, when
Henry r. Lemaire and Helen l.. Watt
were joined in the holy bonds Of matri-
mony.
The home was beautifully decorated
IN ferns, smilax and holly. The chief
feature OF decoration was a canopied arch
extending across the two corner windows
of the parlor. This arch was draped In
a most tasteful manner in white bunting
over which fell graceful folds of white
satin ribbon fastened here and there
with large bows OF the same, the whole
being festooned with smilax, ferns aud
flowers. The background was formed
by the white lace window curtains be-
tween which were a~rtistically arranged
ferns and flowers.
The guests having arrived at seven
o'clock, the appointed hour, Mrs. Harry
Clark, sister to the bride, entered and
played Mendelssohn's wedding march,
to the tones of which the wedding party
entered as follows aud stood beneath the
arch. The groom, Henry r. Lemaire,
accompanied by the groomsman, James
L. Ulster, the bride, Helen l.. Watt, on
the arm Of her brother, George Watt,
followed by The two bridesmaids, Isabel
Watt and Jessie Watt, then the brides
mother. Mrs. Isabel Watt, and the ring
bearer, little Isabel Clark.
The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. s. w. Albone, pastor of the III. E.
Church at Austin.
The brides dress was most elegant in
every detail, consisting of white crepe
de chine oyer white taffeta silk, exquisite
ly trimmed with white velvet applique
and r~osettes OF white chiffon held in
place by ornaments of pearl. She wore
a beautiful white silk illusion veil ex-
tending to the long train Of her dress.
The bridal veil held in place with velvet
ribbon rosette and pearl ornament.
Her foot wear was white kid slippers.
She carried a bouquet Of American
beauty pink and white roses.
Miss Watt is a beautiful brunette, ac-
compliahed and especially talented IN
music. She is he'd in the highest es-
teen by all who know her. Her winning
ways and sunny disposition has deeply
endeared her to all OF her relatives.
The groom looked handsome in his
beautiful tuxedo dress suit with immac-
ulate shirt front and white tie.
Mr.. Lemaire is a most highly respect
ed young man, whose home is in Battle
Mountain and whose business interests
are mercantile.
The darb-eyed bridesmaids were pref
tily dressed il white tucked ~organdies,
trimmed with white lace and ribbon.
They carried bouquets OF pink and white
carnations.
The mother OF the bride, Mrs. Watt,
was elegantly gowned in steel gray satin
with trimmings of black applique and
black satin ribbon.
The little ring bearer, Isabel Clark.
wore a white albatross with accordion
plated effects.
Only the immediate relatives OF the
contracting parties we're present as it
was impossible to accommodate their
large circle Of friends at the ranch home.
The presents were numerous and
beautiful, consisting chiefly OF silverware
and cut glass. One OF especial mention
was the gift Of the groom to his bride-a
sunburss brooch of diamonds and pearls.
After the ceremony and consratula-
tons we're offered, Mrs. Clark read an
original poem to the bride and groom
(which will appear in another column
after which all were seated to an elegant
supper with all that epicure and artist
could wish. The tables were also pref
tily decorated. After supper the night
wits passed in song, recitation and dane
ing till the wee small hours Of the morn
ing-assured US that the wedding guests
we're departing, that Christmas night
was gone and only the best wishes and
blessings from every lip was heard float
ms on the trembling air and what seem
ed a mid winter nights dream woke to
the reality OF life once more as we heard
the farewelle spoken and wishes Of God
speed the newly married couple a safe
journey on the matrimonial sea.
