One of the prettiest weddings ever
witnessed in this place was that of Mr..

Stewart, which was solemnized in St.
Gabriel's Episcopal church Tuesday
evening.
The church was beautifully and arts.
tically decorated, by the loving hands OF
friends, with fresh flowers, ferns and
green vines, showing to. excellent ad-
vantage against the white altar cover
ings. Above the chancel was suspend
ed large floral bell made up of pink
and white roses, and underneath this
were placed two kneeling cushions of
pure white satin with white silk cords
and tassels.
The building was packed to its fullest
capacity by.th friends and well-wishers
of the young couple, even the side aisles
and all the available standing room be-
ing occupied.
Promptly at 6 O'Clock, the appointed
hour, the bridal party arrived and en-
tered the church to the strains of the
bridal chorus from Lohengrin.
First came the members of the brides
family and few intimate friends in
pairs and occupied the front pews.
Next came the ring bearer, little Miss
Doris Wilson, carrying the wedding
ring upon dainty white satin cushion;
following her was the maid of honor,
Miss frankie Stewart, youngest sister
OF the bride; then the bride, leaning up
on the arm of her father, was conduct
ed to the altar, where awaited them the
minister, Dean Robottom, the groom
and his best man, Mr.. w. d. Messer.
The bride was handsomely gowned
in white satin, trimmed with silver
passamenterie and Rhinestone buckles.
Over this hung, in graceful folds, the
long bridal veil fastened with a spray
of lilies of the valley.
The bride carried, in her hand, large
bouquet of bridal roses and lilies of the
valley.
The maid of honor wore a most be-
coming princess dress of white net over
blue satin, trimmed with lace and white
ribbon garniture, and a light blue vel
vet hat with white ostrich plumes.
The dainty little ring bearer looked
beautiful in white organdie with elabor-
ate lace trimmings and white ribbons.

The beautiful marriage ceremony of
the church being impressively perform
ed, vows made and the benediction pro-
nounced, the bridal party, led by the
newly married pair, marched down the
center aisle while Mendelssohn' we'd
ding march was being played, and out to
the street where carriages were await
ing to convey the party to the home of
the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A. A.

awaited them.
The color scheme of the home decora-
tons was pink and white. The supper
tables, covered with fine white linen,
were further Ornamented with beauti-

tuOuS repast, was cut by the bride, and
n INT A, 4 l.
ty white boxes, which were given to
the guests as favOrs.
Mrs. Harry Wilson, avery close friend
OF the family, was in charge Of affairs
at the house, and the magic touch of
her artistic hand could be recognized in
all directions.
The numerous and handsome wedding
presents were pleaSingly arranged upon
tables'in the parlOr where the inspection
of them afforded much pleasure TO the
guests.
The bride, who has grown up from
infancy here, possesses to a marked de-
gree, the graceful and charming char
acteristics which go to make up the per-
feet woman. The groom, who came
here from New York about three wears
ago and since which time has been
manager of the Eureka Fish Co. and
Standard Oil Co. here, is young man
of sterling qualities, and is highly es-
teemed by all who know him.
The STAR joins with their many other
friends in wishing for the young couple
a long life of happiness, usefulness and
prosperity.
The newly welded pair went immed-
lately to housekeeping in their beautiful
and cOzy new river front home, which
was all in readiness for them.
