horse shoe of dark red lose buds
and smilax. ReY. Z j. Brown of
Chicago, former pastor of the First

ter, pronounced the beautiful ring
service in his pleasing, inimitable
manner. The bride wore a pure
white French lingerie gown of an
elaborate Dagobert style, her only
jewelled ornament being valuable
pin of Aus tralian stones, loaned by
the bride groOm's mother, that
Mabel might wear something old
and something new, something
borrowed and something blue
Orange blossoms had been sent
from California carefully packed by
the brides two uncles. But in
transportation had not been care
fully handled, and we're so crushed
they could nOt be used. And so
she carried a shower boquet of
lovely brides roses and never ap-
peared more beautiful and gracious
than when she became a bride.
Tom wore the conventional black
and the happiest of smiles, and in
deed they were fine looking pair.
After the DestOwal of hearty con-
gratulations, wedding feast. fit for
a king was spread before the guests,
= an old-fashioned, English turkey
course with all the innumerable
accomplishments that a fine culinary
taste could devise, followed by
bridal cakes, creams and fruits most
tempting. Miss Nora Plapp of
Platteville, MabePs dearest chum
was waitress at the bridal table. At
the other tables, Misses Anna
Barber, Leona and Edna Aupperle,
Genevieve Ennor, May Brockert,
Marie Myers, Kathryn Mccoy and
Mrs. l.. A Smith graciouslY served
the guests. At 2:30 p. m. Mr.. and
Mrs. BIewett departed by automo-
bile for Potosi from whence they go
to western points on their bridal
tour. They went away amidst a
shower of rice, old shoes and merri
ment The going away costume OF
the bride was in beautiful
heather" shade Of elegant cloth
fashioned by the same Chicago
modiste who constructed the en-
trancing wedding gown. Before
departure the bride distributed her
bridal roses among the guests.
There were many beautiful gifts,
consisting of cut glass, china, silver,
handmade articles of household
use and beauty, and furniture.
The young people have a wide
circle of acquaintance, the bride
having lived in this city since she
was five years old. She was one of
the ''sweet girl graduates" of Ian
caster high school, class of '02,
capturing the Judge Mills prize in
the oratOrical contest of that year.
Her chosen profession was teaching,
which vocation she followen very
successfully for five years For the
past year she has been the able
assistant in the Office of County
Superintendent Brockert, and her
aptitude and efficiency III both
capacities have won his highest ap-
prevail Tom was among the boys
who learned the first book lessons
at our knee, and whom we cuddled
and spanked and wandered with
over the old Beetown hills in search
of flowers. He was always good
tempered, warm hearted and gener-
Gus, and manhood has not lessened
those traits.
A young man so kindly DISPOSE
toned and SO unremittingly solicit
tous for his mothers comfort and
pleasure as Tom has ever been will
surely make a considerable and in
dulgent husband Upon their re-
turn TO Lancaster, the young couple
will Immediately go to house-keep-
ing In the pretty home, gift from
the brides parents, which is now
being remodled and furnished in
the 4th ward.
May the lucky omen, Blessed is
the bride the sun shines on" be
pGrtentous ofabiding brightness and
joy in their newly established home.
20 fortunate. happy day
When new household finds its place
Among the myriad homes of earth,
Like new star just Sprang to birth,
And rolled on its harmonious way
Into the bOundleSs realm of space
