BRANDT-STEPHENS.

Last Thursday at high noon occurred
very pretty wedding at the home Of
Rev. A. w. Stephens when his daughter,
Bertha, was united in marriage to Mr..
! Roy Adelbert Brandt of Sank City. In
| the presence of about one hundred
guests, to the strains of Mendelshon's
wedding march played by Mrs. John
Dixon, Miss Stephens, attended by her
! sister, Miss Belle, and Mr.. Brandt, sup
ported by Mr.. Howard Gates, descended
the broad stairway and advanced to the
archway between the sitting room and
parlor. There a stop was made long
enough for Rev. Stephens to make2a
blessing upon the young people and to
speak few words of admonition. The
IWedding procession then proceeded
Through the parlor and took their places
| in the bay window, where Rev. Stephens
spoke the words which joined the two
young people in wedlock.
Immediately after the ceremony and
congratulations the guests were served
/ to three course luncheon, presided over
| by Mrs. Lou Bowerman of GAINESVILLE.
| The company was prettily waited upon
+ by Misses lnger Hoen, Jessie Mabbett,
Margaret McGiffin, Clara Pomeroy, Alma
I Livick, Grace Humphrey Alice Mabbett,
| Myrtle Maltpress, and Wilma Hurd The
| house was beautifully decorated with
pink and white asters Woodbine and
smilax. The stairway was trimmed with
bright red geraniums and the tables
with sweet peas and smilax. The bride
was prettily gowned in white chiffon
over white taffeta trimmed in lace and
she carried a shower bouquet of white
| asters. The bridesmaid also wore white
! and carried pink asters.
Miss Stephens has been a teacher in
the public schools for the past three
years, where she has made many friends
among the children. She has also been
faithful worker in the church. Mr..
Brandt is the principal of the Sank City
| schools, where the young couple will
make their home. They depart next
week CARRYING with them the best wishes
of host of friends.
" An amusing incident of the wedding
was the escape of the bridal couple from
the wedding company. Everything had
been carefully planned and carried out
very nicely, although it looked for time
as though the bride would be obliged to
go on her honeymoon unaccompanied by
her husband, but he at last managed to
break away and jump into the waiting
carriage and proceed unmolested.
