Notable Wedding.


the history Of the village took place
at Montfort Thursday when Miss
Tina Salina Stevens, the eldest
daughter of Mr.. P. T. Stevens,
the village president and leading
banker, was married to Mr.. Clyde
K. Stephens, prosperous insur-
ance man of Superior, formerly of
Platteville. The ceremony was
performed at high noon in the
Methodist Episcopal church, by the
pastor, Rev. Geo. Brown, in the
presence of a large number of in
vited guests. After a solo by Miss
Mable Williams of Cobb, the we'd
ding march was played by Miss
Hattie Cushman, and the bridal
party moved, in time with the state
ly music, slowly, toward the altar
and in the following order: Two
ushers, Donald Grindell, Platteville
and Fred Granville, Montfort; the
groom and best man, James Brown
of Platteville; two brides maids
carrying white carnations, Nellie
Roberts, Arena and Della Baker,
Milwaukee, maid of honor, carry
ing red carnations, Nellie O. John
son, Milwaukee; the bride, carry
ing white roses, and leaning upon
the arm of her father. AS the bride
neared the altar the groom turned
to receive her. The party stood
upon rug of white and in front of
the altar was a massive bank of
holly, in keeping with the season.
The full marriage service was used
and was beautiful and impressive.
There was no indication of the
hurry and haste, to be through
with the service, too often seen at
weddings, but everything was done
calmly and deliberately as becomes
such an important occasion. The
bride was elegantly attired in a
gown of white silk crepe de Sole,
trimmed with Valenciennes lace.
The maid of honor was gowned in
white silk and the brides maids in
Nile green silk poplin.
After the service at the church, a
reception was given at the home of
the brides parents and an excellent
wedding feast was da ntily served
by the young lady friends of the
bride. The home was beautifully
decorated with holly, mistletoe and
flowers The host and hostess are to
be congratulated upon the great
success and pleasure of the recep-
ton. 1t was a notable social event.
The happy couple left during the
afternoon, amid showers of rice and
good wishes, for st. Paul, Mimi :,
where they will spend their honey
moon and then proceed to their
home in Superior. The bride was
one of Montfort's brightest and most
popular young ladies and social
leader. Her host of friends here
greatly regret her departure from
