CLYMAN-CROUSE.
A very pretty home wedding
was solemnlzed at high noon on
Tuesday of last week when Mr..
Harry Stitt Clymans and Miss
Margaret A. Grouse were united
in holy wedlock at the home of the
bride, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jacob f. Grouse. at Decorum,
Huntingdon county.
The house was literally filled
with invited guests from three
counties, and at the appoisted time
the contracting parties attended
by Mr.. Alvin g. Peterson and
Miss Mary K. Kope as grooms-
man and bridesmaid, respectively,
appeared before the assembl +
guests. Rev. j. S. Philips, vicar
of the Methodist parish, officiated.
The ceremony was touching and
impressive. The bride was attired
in a beautiful white silk dress, and
wore white slippers, land the groom
in conventional black. The brides
maid was dressed in a beautiful
French muslin and wore white
slippers. They presented very
pretty appearance and so similarly
were they dressed that 1t was al
most suggestive of an interchange
of places at the close of the cere-
mony, and a repetition of the
aforesaid ceremony. Ninety-odd
guests partook of sumptuous re-
past, which lasted from 1890 to
4p. m.
The presents were numerous and
beautiful, among which was forty
dollars IN money. The day was
beautiful, and the yard was filed
with men and women engaged in
pleasant conversation. Rev. j. S.
Philips, having an eye for the
beautiful, suggested that all should
proceed towards the tunnel, and
using the dump as background,
he being the photographer, have
their picture taken. After giving
some jocose admonition as to the
best posture to assume and admin
istering some advice to Mr.. A. p.
poran and the country master"
as to their department, he an
nounced that he had the impress
ion.
The happy couple are on a visit
to Gettysburg and other points
and upon their return will reside
at Decorum. We wish them a
happy, prosperous life and bid
them God-speed. sse
