(From thursdays Adyertiser.)

father of MIS-. GcO. II. Stheei' anu
Mrs Lockwood, both of whom visited
4be Carriers in Honolulu recently:
Amid wealth of June roses, such
MS can be found nowhere but in Taco
ma. and surrounded by friends whose
heartfelt wishes for their happiness
made an atmosphere of love about
them. Mrs. Hattie NJ. Lockwood and
Mr.. Henry A. Strong were united IN
marriage last night. The elegant and
spacious residence of DR.. and Mrs.
George C. Wagner on North Z and
Fifth was the scene of the wedding,
and the occasion was at once a Drill
liant social event, and the happy end
ling to bit of romance that has been
followed with deep interest by the
many friends who have known and
loved the bride for the past fifteen
years.
Lavish as is the floral display at all
summer functions in Tacoma, the dec
orations of last night seemed to sur.
pass in the beauty of the flowers and
artistic design of their arrangement all
previous affairs of the kind. The Wag- ,
ner home lends itself readily to the
most charming effects. The broad
veranda, overlooking the bay, was en-
closed in canvas, and airily festooned
with graceful sprays of wild buckle
berry and hanging baskets of flowers
and foliage. japanese lanterns and
tiny colored electric lights illuminat-
ed the room which was available for
smoking. In the hallway baskets OF
flowers in golden tones were effectively
placed, and in the beautiful drawing
room, with its ivory and mahogany
finish, white and green were the only
decorations. The mantel was given a
light banking of Madame Alfred Car
rier roses and the beautiful mahogany
alcove in which the grand piano
stands. was transformed into bridal
bower from the center of which hung
a marble Cupid amid sprays Of feath-
cry asparagus fern. The sides of the
alcove were filed with the graceful
white spirea and potted palms and
ferns and cleaning white marbles
made charming background for the
bridal party. An immense white bas-
ket filled with exquisite white gladi-
oil and feathery candy tuft, shadow
ed over with maiden hair and climbing
fern, was one of the many triumphs
achieved by Mrs. Hayden in the deco
rations. In the spacious dining-room
hundreds of magnificent pink roses
made a picture never to be forgotten.
The chandelier above the table was
festooned with asparagus fern, and
from it hung by streamers of pink
eauze ribbons, numerous dainty white
wedding bells and single La France
roses. A huge basket of La France
roses and fern in the center of the
table and dozens of baskets and jars
artistically arranged about the room,
added to the loveliness of the picture.
In the library and office rooms Jacque-
minot roses held riotous sway, their
glowing crimson mingled with green,
making splendid effect across the
heavy bookcases.
Only the relatives of the bride and
groom were present at the ceremony.
which was performed Mt eight o'clock
by the Rev. Edward It. Ford, pastor of
the First Congregational church. Miss
Marie Hewitt at the piano played the
Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin, Mrs
Wagner as the matron of honor enter
ing the room and taking her position
ut the right of the bridal canopy. Very
pretty was the effect as the three little
lads of the family, Mrs. Lockwood 6
son Corrin, DR.. Wagner's son Corydon,
and Mr.. Strong's grandson Master
Paul Achilles of Rochester, entered To-
gether. The groom, attended by his
son, Mr.. Harry Strong, of Rochester,
as best man, followed, and then the
bride, escorted by DIR. Wagner, who
gave her away. Little Martha Wag-
ner, in a dainty white null and valen-
ciennes frock, and carrying an i'm
mense basket of white sweat peas
brought up the procession, and the
four children closed around the bridal
pair making an extremely pretty pic
ture. The marriage service as read by
Mr.. Ford was especially beautiful and
impressive and at its close the bride
and groom were showered with loving
congratulations from the family cir
ele. The bride, radiant with happi
ness, was beautiful in her magnificent
costume of heavy white Irish applique
over the most exquisite shade of rose
1t was one of the most sumptuoui
gowns ever worn in Tacoma, and will
its handsome finish of chiffon and lace
and the huge bouquet of delicate Day
break carnations, a cluster of whicl
adorned her dark hair, made toile
at once suitable for the occasion an'
vastly becoming TO the handsome wo
man who graced it royalty. Her onl.
ornament was superb pendant o
opals and pearls, gift from tn
groom. Mrs. Wagner looked, as always
beautiful in an elegant white lace rob
over pale blue silk with white swee
peas. Following the ceremony an in
formal reception was held, Mrs. Har
ny L. Achilles and Mr.. Harry Stron
Of Rochester assisting in the receivin
line.
Many kilograms of congratulate
