Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1905-09-06

wealth OF nut-broWn lair was crown
ed with bridal veil and wreath of
orange blossoms. These together
with a boquet of pure white roses,
which she held in her dainty hand,
and far beyond all her radient face,
alive with animation, formed such
an interesting little poem, that one
recalls its lines with pleasure and
satisfaction.
The gifted bride has long been
identified with the educational inter-
ests of southern Illinois. The sys-
tenn of exercises compiled and edited
by her for Arbor Day was awarded
the first prize in the strenuous con-
test Of two years ago, and is now
used in all the public schools of that
great commonwealth. Her literary
taste and talent is certainly of
high order.
The bridegroom was cool, collect
ed and perfectly at home. One
might wrongfulIy infer, from his
easy bearing, that getting married
to a fascinating woman was, to him,
an every day affair. He looked the
kindly, resoiute. selfmade man that
he is. DIR. Steele is decided sue
cess, not only in varied business
ventures, but also in the professional
and literary world. His useful
works upon dentistry have large
sale, not only in this country, but
also in Europe. and as to his illus
trated descriptive articles, so true to
nature, the supply is not equal to
the demand.
Mrs. Clark H. Bronson, the maid
of honor, wore an artistic costum,
which was much admired: her
Jewels consisted OF full set of
garnets, purchased some time ago
from one of Manchester's enterpris-
ing jewelers.. She never looked
prettier than when she raised the
bridal vail to enable the groom to
salute the bride: for the excitement
Of the occasion had painted flush
on her cheeks that caused them to
vie with rare boquet of pink roses
which she held in her hand. The
bridegroom kissed the bride with as
much apparent satisfaction and
nicely of expression as in display
by the "Man in the Moon" when he
kissed the cute Bonnie in "The
Land of Nod-a play which is now
in progress at the Chicago Opera
House.
When the hearty congratulations
of the many friends were over, re-
freshments were served, during
which two mammoth decorated cakes
upon one of which the given name
of the bride and the date Of marriage
were conspicuously lettered, and
upon the other that of the BRIDE
groom. The cutting of these cakes
by the newly welded pair furnished
not only a pretty tableaux, but
afforded the many guests much
amusement. Then came appropri-
ate toasts and much social converse,
during which the hum Of voices the
hearty, happy laugh Of the bride
groom could often be distinguished.
At five o'clock, amid showers Of
rice and parting solutions, the bridal
party entered carriages and, after a
delightful ride through parks and
boulevards, they finally boarded a
palace sleeper on the G. w. enroute
for Hastings, Neb., where a newly
furnished beautiful home with all
modern improvements, together
with hearty welcome awaits them
While the bride and groom were
adjusting themselves in their seats
little bird heard him whisper: 81
see that you are fond Of oranges, my
dear, well, we shall always try
and arrange to always have them Oh
: the sideboard in our own home"
