The bride was attired 10 a gray travelling gown.
The only decorations were bride roses and ferns.
After the wedding supper the bride and groom
left for an extended wedding tour. The bride
is a well known resident of Frederick Delaware,
having taught school in that section for the
past few years. The groom is a former Delaware
/ boy now residing in Philadelphia managing one
OF the LARGEST baking establishments in that
city. The wedding was attended by Mr.. and

a runaway accident in which the brides life
was saved by the grooms prompt and heroic
rescue. From this time warm friendship
sprang up between the two which later ripened
into love.
