DIARY AND GOSSIP
Weddings Usher In june

That June is to be the month Of
brides is an assured fact and already
when the month is but one day old
there have been three of more than
ordinary interest.
Beautiful in every particular was the
wedding of Miss Evelyn Hanson and
Ivan d. Parker, solemnized last even-
ing at the First English Lutheran
church. The church was decked with
hundreds of white roses, and the altar,
before which the ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. Herbert Weaver, was
banked high with the blossoms. Miss
Grace Fletcher was at the organ, and
as the bridal party came down the aisle
she played the wedding march from
"Lohengrin" and during the reading
Of the service the Spring Song" The
bride was gowned in white crepe de
Paris over white silk null. She wore
the regulation wedding VEIL fastened
with orange blossoms, and carried a
shower bouquet of lilies of the valley.
Miss Julia Wagner, who attended the
bride as maid of honor, wore pale blue
crepe and carried white sweet peas and
ferns. The bridesmaids were Miss May
Hanson and Miss Frankie Medlar, a
sister and cousin of the bride, and both
were gowned alike in pink mousseline,
de sole and carried baskets of pink
blossoms. Louis Naier assisted the
bridegroom as best man and the ushers
were Ralph Brown and Fred HEn-
bright. L. D. C. Gray, the father of the
bride, gave her away.
Following the ceremony there was a
reception to relatives and intimate
friends at the home of the brides
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. L. d. O..
Gray, at 413 West Twenty eighth
street. Here, as in the church, an
elaborate decorative scheme prevailed,
pink being the color used. In the din
ing room, where the wedding supper
was served, pink roses were delightfully."-
employed. A large wedding bell Of the
blossoms was suspended over the
brides table and satin ribbons de.
pended from this. pretty feature at
the wedding supper was the presenta-
ton of buttonhole bouquets of lilies of
the valley by the bride to the men OF
the party.

June

Crowned with her roses as a diadsm,
Fair June the years bride, comes adown
the way
Trod by the twelve-of all the months
so gay,
She is the sweetest, fairest, best of them;
And in her robes of bridal, with hem
OF glowing poppes, and a wreath of bay,
And orange blossoms trailing, who shall
say
Where fairer bride be found? Each dew
drop green
That glistens is than diamond more rare;
Each breath than perfume sweeter. And
her feet
But kiss the daisies as she trips along
o month of fowers-of the year most
fair,
No wonder that celestial choirs thee greet
And all the world for thee breaks into
song!

First Service at the New Methodist Church.

First Service at the New Methodist Church.
The first regular service was held in
the new Methodist church on Sunday
morning, and the large auditorium was
filled, the Sunday.school room being
opened to accommodate others who could
not find seats in the main building.
The sacred simpleness of everything in
the building appealed to all, and every
one could not refrain from admiring the
handiwork of man, as used in building
to God. The place is one with fine archi-
tectural appointments, made to serve the
congregation as pertains to comfort as
well as to pleasure for the eye. The con-
gregation of the Methodist church have
erected building worthy of themselves,
of the town, and the State.
The music on Sunday morning had been
especially prepared for the occasion and
proved very beautiful.
Rev. W. T. Duncan has never preached
a finer sermon since his stay here. He
was at his best, and held the attention OF
his hearers through out. His text was
taken from First book of Kings, "And
there was none like unto Ahab in all the
land, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up"
The question of barter and exchange of
principle as Of honor, is seen so often in
this day and time, was emphasized. Fraud,
graft, and that venomous serpent, selfish
ness, which is eating out the strength Of
young manhood from the land, were de-
picted with flow Of words which made
each one feel that the question should not
be treated lightly but as matter worthy
Of serious consideration. The dispensary
in its antagonistic relation to the church
came in for a share Of consideration.
Then the home as suggested by the acts
of Jezebel was discussed. "Give me good
homes, and have no fear for our young
manhood" declared the speaker. The
family altar is the training school of
great men. there they are inspired by q
mothers love, and made to feel throbbing
within them'"that still small voice called
conscience" At the conclusion the con-
gregation Joined in singing" Home, Sweet
Home," fitting close to the service.
