liz performed by Rev. II. l.. Torsey of
Sioux Falls. Arthur Herrick acted
AS best man, and Miss,Mabel Slocum,
sister of the groom, as bridesmaid
The bride was elegantly crowned,
and wore a bridal wreath of generous
proportions. The groom worea sprig
of flowers pinned to the lapel of bis
coat, as did also the best man. The
room was prettily decorded, the pro-
verbal wedding bell being doubly in
evidence. After the ceremony and
hearty congratulations, an elegant
wedding dinner was served. The
table was also appropriately decorat-
