Happy IS the bride the sun shine
on. 1t was a happy event OF
which the sun shed its joyous ray.
lis morning at seven O'Clock.
pen Miss Louise Angelina Stowe
I'd Alfred Walter Amthor were
lited in the holy bonds of matri-
ony, at the home of the brides
hother in this city. 1t was a quiet
home wedding, witnessed by only
a few friends. Handsome ferns
and cut flowers adorned the pretty
parlor, fitting accompaniment of
SO happy an occasion. The strains
of Mendelssohn's Wedding March
played on the piano by Miss Nellie
Kimball, announced the coming of
the bridal party. The groom with
his best man, Chas. H. More, came
first and awaited the bride, who
followed presently with her sister,
Miss Rosa Stowe, serving as maid
of honor. The other attendants
were Miss Addie Goodrich and
Wayne Woed, who came next,
followed by the brides mother, Mrs.
L. A. Stowe, and brother, Geo.
W. Stowe. Rev. c. J. Smith per
formed the solemn ceremony which
united the twain for better or for
worse. Congratulations and good
wishes were showered upon the
couple as soon as the ceremony was
concluded. A dainty wedding
breakfast was served afterwards in
the dining room. A toast express
ing the good will of all for the
newly welded pair was proposed
by w. NJ. Radcliffe and drunk by
the guests, delicious punch inspir
ing a hearty response. Tempting
sandwiches, olives, coffee, chocolate
and cakes formed the menu. The
cutting of the brides cake by the
fair bride was an interesting mo-
ment The young lady attendants
and other guests who were still so
unfortunate as to remain III d state
of single un-blessededness, then
had the privilege of cutting a slice
each, in quest of the fortune con
cealed within the cake. The much
sought for ring was cut by Miss
Nellie Kimball, while Miss Christine
Jagou found the lucky dime. 1t
could not be discovered who cut
the unpopular thimble, condemning
its finder to a lonely, unwedded |
life. Wayne Wood was suspected
of being the unlucky one, but he
would not own up.
Amid showers of rice, old shoes
and goodb Eyes, Mr.. and Mrs.
Amthor took their departure for
the station, taking the train for a
trip which will include a
visit to the groom's relatives at
Waco. San Antonio will also be
included in the trip, which will
last about two weeks, after which |
Mr.. and Mrs. Amthor will be at
home to their friends in Browns
vile. Quite a number of the guests
accompanied them to the train.
A wedding write-up' without
a report of the bridal gown would
be sadly deficient. 1t may be
truthfully said that the bride on
this occasion was fair to see, in her
dainty costume of white chiffonette,
effectively trimmed with poini d
esprit lace, and with the usual long
veil of tulle fastened with orange
blossoms The graceful bouquet
was of tube roses and ferns. The
travelling suit was of dark blue
ro;le, stylish and becoming. The
young lady attendants wore pretty
white costumes, and the groom and
gentlemen were in con-
ventional black.
Mr.. and Mrs. Alnthor begin their
life amid the good will and
best wishes of many friends. The
young bride is the bright and at
-ractive daughter of Mrs. L. A.
Stowe of this city. The manly
groom is a prominent young civil
