pianists in the city and nearly 800 of
her friends witnessed her marriage in
the Norwegian Lutheran church at
o'clock last evening. The wedding was
the prettiest Of the June bridal affairs.
The church was simply but artistically
decorated with smilax, palms and
profusion of white peonies. There was
no color visible in the decorations. The
chancel was banked on all sides with
palms and ferns. The bride and her
attendants made a very striking pro-
cession. There was a maid of honor,
six bridesmaids and a little flower girl
besides the six ushers.

Wollan, sister of the groom; Miss EN-
ma Larson, Miss Gertrude Virtue, Miss
Gretchen MARI, Miss Nora Christian
son and Miss Julia Jensen were the
bridesmaids and little Miss Margaret
EvenSen was the flower girl. The
bride entered with her father, who led
her to the altar. She wore a hand
some gown of white crepe de chine
made over soft taffeta. The bodice had
q yoke Of embroidered chiffon. The
skirt was made en- traine. She wore a
long tulle veil and carried a bouquet
Of brides roses. The maid of honor
wore a simple dress Of creamy colored
silk mule and carried pink roses. The
bridesmaids were dressed alike in
white frocks. Each wore a short tulle
veil and carried handfuls Of pink roses.
The little flower girl wore a peart little
white frock and carried a huge basket
of roses.
Arthur Bergh, brother of the bride,
was the best man. The ushers were
Arnold, Oscar and Clarence Wollan,
brothers of the groom; Alfred Mark
hus, Charles LyngaaS and Jocob Rigg.
The service was read by Rev. Thomas
Nilsson. pastor Of the Norwegian Luth-
eran church, and c. G. Titcomb pre-
sided at the organ. He played the
Lohengrin bridal music for a process
sional and Mendelssohn's wedding
march as a occasional. During the
ceremony he played the Evening
STAR" from Lohengrin, and just after
the benediction Mrs. Julia Youngman
Comstock sang Love Abiding"
A large reception at the home of the
