magic hand of Mrs. Dunbar, display
ing the most exquisite taste and in
geniousness with garlanded sweet
peas and festooning blue ribbons;
hiding in faint suggestion a medallion
in the alcove arch of their respective
names, whilst sweet strains of whisp-
ering music, playing the Wedding
March," echoed through the rooms
when they were made one.
The ceremony was witnessed by the
immediate friends and relatives of
the contracting parties, when at the
conclusion, amid congratulations and
shower of rice the happy couple
started for Kerby, the brides child
