The Wedding of Miss Caroline Mills
and Mr.. William Walter Stanton, Of
Chicago, the Most Important Society

When God found that it was not
gave Mother Eve to Father Adam, a
fashion was set that has been follow
ed ever since; and, will be until Hal
ley's comet collides with this old
earth and wipes us all off it's face.
And though weddings are of every
day occurrence, they are always
sources of more or less excitement in
the circles of society in which the
hign contracting parties move. So
that when the invitations were issued
for the wedding of Miss Caroline
! Mills, one of the handsomest of St.
Paul's daughters, to Mr.. William Wal
ter Stanton, one of .Chicago's manly
sons, there was a flutter of excitement
in st. Paul society, which grew
stronger and stronger until last Mon
| day evening when it's elimination was
reached. ~
The wedding was a beautiful one
at the home of the brides mother,
Mrs. Carrie Mills, 597 Rondo street.

/ with cut flowers, evergreens and vari-
cOlored autumn leaves, which were
! very much in evidence.
! At the appointed hour. eight o'clock
p. M, the house was filled with the
| hidden guests clad in wedding gar
, ments and presenting an animated
scene.
