WASHINGTON.
 AN EASTER WEEK WEDDING. The Wetterau-Foulois wedding which occurred in the Episcopal church on Tuesday at half past 12, was of unusual interest. The contrac ting parties were Joseph Wetterau and Miss Florence Augusta FOulOis, daugh. ter of MT and Mrs Henry Foulois. MI Wetterau, though not a native of this town, has been long and favorably known here, as he was the station agent, and on account of his great ex- ecutive ability in business, his excel lent Christian character, and his ac- commodating ways and courtesy, won the highest esteem of the community His departure to fill a higher and more important position, was attend ed by the regret of all, but as it was to his advantage, his friends wished him the success in his new position, which he has realized. He now occu- pies the position of travelling auditor of the N. Y., N. H. and Hartford rail road system. Miss Foulois is Wash ington girl, ,and on account of her love- ly character and refined tastes, will undoubtedly be an ideal wife in her husbands heart and home. The pro- gram at the church was faultlessly carried out. The altar and the win dows were made attractive by beauti- full potted plants and palms and choice cut flowers. Before the appointed time guests began to arrive, and were con- ducted to the pews by the ushers, Messrs l. Ford Seeley and Joseph I. West. Miss Eva Cape very finely ren- dered selections on the organ before and during the ceremony. To the fla miliar, but always beautiful strains. of Lohengrin, Miss FouIois with; her father, preceded by the uShers, and the maid of honor, Miss Rose SerIe, walked slowly down the aisle to the front of the church, where she was met by her brother, William Foulois, the best man. The Rev Percy Robinson read the solemn marriage service. As the organ pealed forth Mendelssohn's s wedding march, the bride and groom left the church, and were driven to the home of the brides parents where a reception was held from l until 3 o'clock. Miss Foulois wore beauti- full gown of white silk peau de cygne, elaborately trimmed with Irish point lace. Her bridal veil was caught in place by orange blossoms, and she carried large bouquet of bridal roses. The maid of honor, Miss Rose Serre, was dressed in handsome white silk gown with chiffon and lace trimmings, and carried large bouquet of pink roses. At the reception, many and sincere were the congratulations show cred on the newly welded couple. The parlOr and refreShment rooms were beautifully decorated with laurel, smi- lax, Easter lilies, cut Iflowers, and choice pOtted plants in blossom. The bridal cake, large, magniticently decorated loaf with white frosted wreathS of roses and ferns, surrounded by smilax and flowers, ornamented the center of one of the tables. Pieces of this cake were distributed as souve- probably slept with their pieces of cake under their pillows and have dreamed of their future fates. A dainty and fine collation. was served, and the bride and groom left on the 5 o'clock train for their wedding trip, which will include several days so- journ in Washington, D. c. MT and Mrs Wetterau were surprised when going to the train to find an aisle par titioned off for them in the station, by the use of generous supply of cord and white tissue paper, and this aisle extended nearly to the car steps. In the car were suspended old shoes and some other decorations which one or two thoughtful friends had succeeded in hanging up when they had boarded the train at New Preston station. Amid shower of rice and bits of pa per, the bride and groom succeeded in reaching seat in the car, where to their amazement they read a placard, "We're just marrted-are so happy.'' suffice it to say, that the sign immedi- ately had another resting place. But it was happy send off to a popular couple, and many wishes follow them for prosperous and delightful walk in life together. Their future home will be on Elm street in New Haven. They were the recipients of many beautiful presents in silver, china and cut glass. Conspicuous among them were two gold lined silver service sets, beautiful china dinner and tea set, two handsome lamps, gold inlaid bon bon dish with gold spoon, colonial blankets, a fine silver coffee urn, a cut glass berry dishes, chef table, chair, clock, ice cream set, large silver candelabra, a silver baking dish and fruit dish, some lovely pictures in handsome gold frames, and sets of sill yer spoons, pearl handled silver knives, forks, silver tablespoons and teaspoons, handsome carving set, and numerous other gifts.
