An unusually pretty home Easter
wedding took place at the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. Moses Keyte, Wednesday
evening when their only daughter,
Miss Lena, was united in marriage with
Mr. John Roos.
The guests were met at the door by
Master Gilbert Loring, cousin Of the
bride. At the top of the stairway,
which was prettily decorated with soft
white pussy willows, they were directed
to the dressing rooms by little Miss
Felice Parker. In the hallway, and in
the parlors below the decorations were
beautiful, and appropriate to the Eas-
ter time, white lilies, and daffodils,
and banks of ferns.
The ceremony took place at six o'clock.
At that time the groom took his station
in the broad, smilax festooned doorway
between the two parlors where, with
the Res ,rend r. O. Cooper OF Christ
Episcopal church, he awaited the bride.
Accompanied by her father and carry
ing a white prayer book, she entered
from the library while the Mendelsshon
wedding march was being played by the
Y. Nj @. A. Mandolin Club. During
the ceremony the club played soft,
sweet melody which was followed by

panels of seeded silk, draped over white
chiffon which in tura was draped over
white satin.
A five course wedding dinner was
served. The decorations for the dinner
being exceptionally pretty and well de-
signed. AT the brides table streamers
of white ribbon were draped from the
chandelier to the corners of the table
where they were secured by bows tied
with asparagus fern. A large, low bas-
ket, with high graceful handle, all coy
cred with gauzy white moline over a
green background, occupied the center
Of the table with beautiful profusion
of pink roses and lilies of the valley.

the guests were served was similar
but smaller basket with the same gauzy
white trimmings but holding daffodils
and fresias instead of roses and lilies.

and green. The guests were served by
the Misses Gertrude Estey, Helen Coop
