The home had been beautifully
adorned for the happy occasion and
in the spacious bay window of the par

improvised, eanopied in white and
adorned with trailing smilax and
pendant white bells, and illumined by
electric lights. Herein the officiating
minister stood and here the handsome
young groom and his beautiful bride
plighted their mutual troth, within the
touching of loving parents and kin
dred and devoted friends, that gave
additional sentiment to the superla-
lively happy, triumphal moment in
the lives Of the twain as they spoke
the words that effected the eternal
locking of their lives together-the
saeramental merging of two souls
/ with but single thought; two hearts
: that beat as one.''
