we're being ushered to their seats,
Emil Obberhoffer, who presided at
the organ, gave i program OF nuptial
music. The familiar strains Of the
"Spring Song" by Mendelsshon, and
the dreamy "Traumeri," by Schn-

Minn., and a sister OF the bride, was
matron OF honor.
The bride entered with her father
and was met at the altar by Mr..
Ireys, who was attended by Horace
Lowry.
Reverend Marion ID. Shutter read
the full service, and while the VOWS
we're being exchanged, the soft notes
of the aria from "Sampson and De-
lilah' we're heard from the organ.
The exultant Mendelsshon music
sounded the occasional march.
The bride wore a handsome Great
ion .of duchesse satin. inlaid with
silk embroidery and with ga1niEoves
of point applique lace. Her..full tulle
veil fell to the hem OF her gown, and
was crowned with wreath of scented
orange blossoms Miss Wells wore a
costume of sheer ..organdy fashioned
over soft satin, and her Towers were
an armful of brides roses.
The matron OF honor was gowned
in pink silk net, draped over silk and
carried bouquet OF white lilacs.
The chancel of the church was a
solid mass of slender leafed smilax.
from out of whose depth peeped pink
roses, which in their starry setting
carried out the beautiful color blend
of pink and green. The family pews
we're marked with large huffy..bows of
satin ribbon.
After..the church Service a large
reception followed at the Wells resi-
dence on Oak Grove street. Receiv-
ing with Mr.. and Mrs. Ireys were Mr..
and Mrs. Wells, and Mrs. lreys, the
mother of the Bridegroom. At the
house the.same coloring Of pink:.and
green was carried through the lower
rooms, and quaint baskets of roses
with airy tulle bows we're placed on
the cabinets and window seats. Over
the window ledges and archways ran
riotous smilax vines that nestled
around the clusters of..roses that we're
placed in wall pockets. In the din
Ing room white .lincs' formed the
centerpieces for the buffet and table
and in the library a tall vase of
American Beauty roses was placed
on the mantel.
