Again, the "God of Love" has
entered our town and built his
Hymenial alter in one of our hap.
py homes Sly Cupid has caught
in his net two bright young hearts,
and whispered softly aye shall be
one"
Last evening at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. James Munroe Foster of
this city, a most beautiful and i'm
pressive marriage ceremony was
solemnized, when Mr.. William
Ward Gammage led to the alter
the fair, sweet daughter of this
bone, Elsie Lucille.
The pretty parlors were a pro
fusion of flowers and palms, the
green and white color scheme be-
ing carried throughout. An arch
way of roses and mistletoe with
the lovely wedding bells tied with
soft white knots Of ribbon, pro
nounced the bower where the bride
gave her hand and heart to the
man of her choice.
Softly and sweetly Mr.. Swift,
accompanied by Miss Ethel Ellis,
sang the impressive song "You"
and as the words gently ceased
the strains of Mendlesohn's we'd
ding march announced the arrival
of the bridal party.
Mr., Rroundy and Mr.. Thum
acted as ushers, and placed into
the hands of little Misses Bonnie
Hawley and Henrietta Olney the
soft, white ribbons leading from
the doorway to the alter and form
ing the bridal pathway.
These little fairies, in filmy white
gowns, carried lovely baskets Of
flowers and we're a sweet symbol
of the purity of the marriage alter.
Down the pathway came the maid
of honor, Miss Georgia Cotton,
followed by the bride, who were
met at the alter by the groom and
his best man, Mr.. Troupe Gam
mage, and turned to face the offici-
ating minister, Rev. Hawley.
Throughout the ceremony the
soft strains of music, together with
the impressive words of the cere
mony, sank deep into the hearts Of
those present, and still deeper into
those of the young couple as he
placed the ring on her finger and
they were pronounced "man and
wife" They knelt at the alter on
satin pillows and received the
benediction. AS it was finished,
the little flower girls pulled the
ribbons attached to the large cen.
tral bell, and shower of rose
petals came down on the bride
, and groom.

evident from the fact that interests
