The wedding of Miss Edna Hanscom
and Mr.. Robert Henry Morgan was
solemnized Wednesday evening at the
home of the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo. D. Hanscom, 500 North X
street. The event was an ideal spring
wedding. The spacious rooms were
made beautiful with quantities of light
spring foliage, branches of the deli
cate red buckle berry, Oregon grape
and ferns being used in baskets and
large vases, giving the house the ap-
pearance of a woodland bower. KIM
kinick festooned the stairrail. and long
bows n streamers of green and
white were festooned from windows
and doorways. The lamps and can
dies were all decorated with flower
like shades of green and white. In
front of the broad. curving window of
the back parlor, banked with palms
and ferns, was arranged an altar,
canOpied with white tulle and airy
vines, with a beautiful marriage bell
of white roses suspended from the
center. At either side were pedestals
of white and green, bearing lighted
candles, and white satin cushions
were placed for the ceremony. At Z
O'Clock the officiating clergyman, Rev.
H. H. Ciapham, of Trinity parish,
tered the parlor. followed by the
groom and his best man, Mr.. Charles
Mason. Miss Florence Morgan, the
groom's sister, and Miss Verna Cloes,
a cousin of the bride, entered together,
dressed in white with touches Of green
and Empire sashes. Miss Grace Guth-
rie, as maid Of honor. wore a very
dainty frock of white with green garn-
itures. The bride looked very lovely
and happy as she entered with her
father and passed to the altar. Her
gown was an exquisite creation of
white silk tissue over white silk, with
a rich bertha of lace. She wore a
handsome long chain of baroque
pearls, which was her wedding gift
from her brother, who is at college In
the East. Over her long tulle veil was
a priceless lace veil of finest Brussels
net, an heirloom in the family of the
groom, and loaned for the occasion
by his sister, Mrs. H. j. Ramsay, OF
Seattle. The arrangement was espe
cially becoming. The beautiful pear
pin which clasped the lace was the
gift of Mr.. Morgan to his bride, and
there were also clusters of natural
orange blossoms to finish the couture
properly. A shower bouquet of bride
roses completed an exceptionally beau
tiful bridal toilette, and when the
bouquet was thrown from the stairs
as the young couple left it, it was
caught by Miss Guthrie, who is thus
the next bride to be according to ira
dition. The "Lohengrin" weddine
march was played by Mrs. c. F. L
