A pretty MONDAY marriage was
solemnized at the Church OF the Holy

HendersOn's loveliest young daugh'
tiers and prominent young business
man Of Wisconsin, formerly OF Vir.

prominence and popularity OF these
two young people attracted a large
and fashionable audience to witness
the ceremony. There were several
out-oftown visitors.
The altar was beautifully decorated
for the occasion with palms, ferns
and lovely white flowers, and with the
burning candles presented pretty
and enhancing scene. Rev. Julian
E. Ingle performed the ceremony,
Miss Alice Cheek presiding at the
organ. To the soft strains of Men

Mr.. Eugene Gary, of New York City,
DR.. Edward B. Tucker, Mr.. Augustus
Moore and Mr.. f. G. Lands marched
up the centre aisle and took positions
on each side of the chancel. Then
followed the maid of honor, Miss
Julia Tucker, sister of the bride.
The bride entered leaning on the
arm Of her brother, DR.. John Hill
Tucker, by whom she was given
away.
The groom, accompanied by his
best man, DIR. Howson Cole, OF the
United States navy, entered from the
vestry room and joined them at the
altar. The words that made the
twain one were then spoken, they be-
ing married with a ring. The bride
wore magnificent Partisan gown of
accordian pleated chiffon and point
lace over white silk with bridal veil
caught with a beautiful diamond pin.
She carried a lovely bouquet of lilies
of the valley, with fern sprays tied
with tulle.
Immediately after the marriage Mr..
and Mrs. Chalmers left on the North
bound train for an extended bridal
tour, at the conclusion of which they
will make their home in Sparta, Wis
cOnsin.
