On Thursday Evening at the Home Of '. A.
Whipple, Miss Edith Whipple and
Rudolph Hansen Were Married

One of the most interesting social
events of the season occurred last
Thursday evening at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Vinet A. Whipple when their
daughter, Edith Frances, was united
in marriage to Rudolph Emil Hansen.
The ceremony took place at O'Clock
in the presence of a limited number
of relatives and friends. The Rev.
Frederick H. Oehler of the Congrega-
tional church read the service and the
Rev. F. M. Garland of the Episcopal
church read the prayer. The deep
bow window in the sitting room had
been transformed into bower of green
and white and the clergymen stood
here to receive the bridal procession.
The bridegroom with his brother, Mr..
Edwin Hansen, as best man, entered
and took their places on the left of the
clergymen. Miss Mary Woodbury.
presided at the piano, playing as an
Introductory selection the Grand
March from "Tannhauser," changing
to the bridal chorus from "Lohengrin''
as the bridal party descended the
stairs. The six bridesmaids walking
by twos, led the way and separating at
the entrance between the music and
sitting rooms outlined the bridal path
by stretching white ribbons, then
came the little flower girls, Ariel
Whipple, neice of the bride, who
carried the ring in the heart Of white
rose, and Alice Fiesler. Immediately
following them was Mrs. William v.
Whipple OF Minneapolis, who acted
as Matron of Honor. The bride
entered leaning upon the arm OF her
father who conducted her to the groom.
After the VOWS were spoken the newly
welded couple received the congratu-
lations OF those present.
The bride wore a handsome gown Of
white duchess satin made princess
style and trimmed with Imported Irish
Crotched lace and carried a large
bouquet of brides roses. Her only
ornament was baroque pearl brooch
with diamond centre, the gift of the
bridegroom. The Matron of Honor
wore a white batiste trimmed with
white lace and carried cream roses.
The bridesmaids, Misses Alice Dean,
Mildred How, Mable Kells, Julia
McMasters, Nell Mccormick and
Nellie Hansen, were gowned in white
and wore pink roses. Mrs. Vinet A..
Whipple, mother of the bride, wore a
handsome gown of gray silk poplin
trimmed with lace. Mrs. H. Hansen
wore black silk.
The decorations consisted of masses
of roses, carnations, palms and ferns,
arranged and combined in a very
artistic manner. Green and white
were the chosen colors of the living
room and parlors, ferns and pink
carnations were used in the music
rooms. Shaded lights shed soft
glow of color over the table in the
DINING room where the center piece
was an immense bouquet of red roses.
The side-board and corners were
banked with ferns and roses. Dainty
refreshments were served.
A large reception was held from
$3.50 until II O'Clock at which large
number of guests extended congratu-
lations. Mr.. and Mrs. Hansen were
assisted in receiving by Mr.. and Mrs.
Vinet A. Whipple, Mrs. H. Hanson
and Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. v. Whipple.
The BRIDES gifts to her bridesmaids
were white leather purses and the
little flower girls were presented with
gold lace pins engraved with their
names.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hanson left for short
wedding trip and on their return will
be at home at 408 Maple st.
