the brides aunt, Mrs. w. E. Brice. on
Fourth street, occurred the marriage

Mr.. Harry Taylor, of Oskaloosa The
wedding was a very quiet one, only
members of the immediate family be-
ing present. The bride was gowned
in very pretty champaign silk one
piece dress, and carried a bouquet of
violets, whose modest dress blended
charmingly with the other arrange
ments of simplicity. The home was
very artistically decorated in pink
and white carnations, there being no
other form of decoration. After the
ceremony, which was performed by
the Rev. DR.. KEENAN,, of the Baptist
church, a delicious four-course dinner
was served. The, bride has been a
trained nurse, graduating from her
school last season, and during her
vacations has spent much time in this
city, both as the guest of her aunt
Mrs. Brice. and with her sister, Miss
Mary Brice. The groom is an cleo
trio engineer at Oskaloosa and is a
young man much respected in that
place. Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor expect to
leave soon for Honolulu, where they
will make their home for some time at
least. Among the out-of-town guests
at the wedding were Mr.. and Mrs.
Taylor, mother and father of the
groom, and Miss Blanche Taylor, a
sister, of Oskaloosa Mr.. and Mrs.

many friends in this new step.

sibility and trust. Harry graduated

BRIDEGROOMS ALARMED
AT MARRIAGE EXPENSE

Cairo. June 21.-The increasing
cost of marriage in the Soudan is
causing complaint amongst would-be
bridegrooms. From / . pounds to 80
pounds is the sum usually demanded
as the brides dover amongst the
well-to-do laboring classes in Omdur-
man and the northern provinces.
Half the dover is paid before mar
riage. and the other half becomes
payable only in the event of divorce.
The first half is paid to the father of
the bride, and regarded as his prop
erty. though it is often spent on the
wedding festivities. In addition to
the dover the bridegroom makes con-
siderable gifts to the bride and usual
.ly bears some part of the expense of
the festivities.
One of the most popular of the
Mahdi's reforms was to fix the dover
at 100 piastres-a about S5-for a
girl and $3.50 for widow or di-
vorced woman.
