roses, spring blossoms, and potted.
plants in great abundance, while
white candles shed that soft mellow
glow that made the scene all the
more beautiful and impressive and
long to be remembered by each one
present.
The immediate relatives were
gathered in the back parlor, and at
the appointed time the door was
thrown open that the assembled
guests, many in number, in the front
parlor could witness the marriage
vows as pronounced by Rev. G. q.
Bradley, rector of ST. Marks. Six

The bride was handsomely attired
in a gray going-away gown with hat
and gloves to match, and never look
ed lovelier than when she pledged
her troth, amid the sweet smelling
blossoms and softened light, with
numerous friends around her wish
ing earnestly for all the best things
that life can give.
The bride was a favorite young
lady here with many, and count

and elsewhere by the score. OF
sweet and lovable disposition her
graces won for her such friends as
deem friendship thing sacred. So
somewhat with reluctance we re-
iinquish our claim upon her.

won many friends here that really
hated to see him leave.
