REV. JOHN R. GASS OFFICATES
At Ono of Socorro's Most Interest
ing and Romantic
Weddings

An extremely pretty, interest
ing and with-all most romantic
marriage was cele brated Tuesday
evening at the Presbyterian
manse on McCutchen avenue,
when Mary Eleanor, only daugh-
ter of Rev. and Mrs. II. NJ.
Perkins of this city became the
bride of Mr.. James Roy Stewart
of Stamps, Arkansas.
Promptly at the hour appoint
ed the bride and groom, preceded
by little Miss Winifred Crater
as ring bearer, to the inspiring
strains of Mendelssohn'S wedding
march, played by Miss Agnes
Jaques, approached and took
their places under an archway
festooned III green and white,
where they were met by Rev.
John h. Gass of Albuquerque
who read in a most impressive
manner the beautiful Presbyter-
ian marriage ceremony. After
which congratulations were eX-
tended and all repaired to the
dining room where the color
scherhe of green and white was
also carried out, and where a
dainty wedding supper had been
prepared by Mrs. Perkins for
the guests assembled to bid
the happy young couple God
speed. Later in the evening
there were rendered several de-
lightful musical selections, the
bride, an accomplished musician,
favoring the company with vo-
cal solo.
The bride, an only daughter,
and upon whom has been deserv-
edly lavished the hearts affec-
tions of her father and mother
and an only brother, and who is
not only the posseSsor of a
gentle, amiable disposition, but
also charming characteristics of
face and form, and being of the
blonde type looked her best in
an exquisite empire dress of blue
rajah silk, with a yoke of white
chiffon bordered with embroider-
ed roses, and a small amount Of
panne velvet and a few dainty,
cut steel buckles, and was worn
over a white poi de sol silk slip.
The gown described was fash
ioned in Sherman, Texas, as was
also. the travelling suit, which
was made of a red and gray rat
tan cloth, with hat and gloves to
match.
Mr.. Stewart is a prosperous
young business man of Stamps,
Ark, where he is book keeper
for the Bodcaw Lumber compa-
ny and is also city treasurer of
his town and is an estimable
young man and will, with the
tenderest care guard the gently
reared woman he has won, and
the only regret that the fond
parents feel at their daugter leav-
ing them, is also shared by her
many Socorro friends, and lies
in the fact that her home must
needs be so far removed from
theirs.

I is, and from whom the bride was
