Wednesday evening, Feb. "a, to witness
the wedding of Miss Kathryne f. Bascom
and Or. Otto Y. Greene in the UNIVERSAL
ist church.
How shall we describe the weddings
Shall we tell of the decorations? Well
the large auditorium was a symphony m
green and white, the central scheme being
a series OF arches extending from the cen-
trail door and terminating in large square
canopy before the altar, from the center of
which hung the conventional marriage
bell. Long festoons led from the arches to
windows at either side, softening and
identifying the whole effect The parlors
above where the reception was held were
decorated in much the same manner. the
whole rejecting much credit upon the
decorator. Harry +, Adams, and his able
corps of assistants.
Would you know OF the ceremony For
a half hour before the appearance of the
bridal procession, the organIst, Mr.. l.. f.
Hathaway, entertained the waiting guests
Precisely al the stroke OF eight the groom
and clergyman entered the church, adj
vancing to the altar, there to meet the
bridal procession, which WAS made up as
follows: The ushers, Drs. Ransom Greene
and Fred Edmunds, Messrs. Fred Putnam
and James Waterman; the bridesmaids.
Misses Gibson, Edith Greene, Mabelle
Greene and Miss Upper; the bride, upon
the arm Of her mother. The party gath
cred about the altar, the wedding march
was stilled and above the sweet, soft music
OF the organ, there sounded that most
beautiful wedding ceremony ever written,
the Episcopal service. In but a moment,
it seemed. the solemn service was over and
the bridal couple, husband and wife,
passed down the aisle, happy, yet serious
in the lifelong responsibility they had so
gladly taken upon themselves.
Immediately following the ceremony a
reception to relatives and a few friends
was held in Harrington parlors. DIR. and
Mrs. Otto Greene were aided in receiving
by DIR. and Mrs. i. M. Greene, Mrs. Jennie
Bascom and the bridesmaids. The affair
quickly assumed an informal aspect, and |
good cheer and happiness ruled the hour. /
Refreshments were daintily served by a /
corps of young ladies, and the hour quick |
lY approached when it was time for the /
company to retire. Some Of the younger |
members OF the company waited until /
late hour to personally see DIR. and Mrs. ,

important part, the dresses. From the /

her maids.

Charmed by her beauty and her grace,

But we realize this will not satisfy our
feminine readers, aud so here's the thing,
written by those who know.
The bride was handsome in white silk
ooplin. The skirt, with its numerous
olaits, shimmered in its richness and sim
olicity; while the bodice was nearly con-
'ealed by a rich lace and chiffon collar. A
ulle veil gave to the whole a most charm
ng effect.
