A BRILLIANT WEDDING.

On Tuesday night Miss Tillic Loeb
was united in marriage to Mr. Percy
Meyer, and the event was easily the
most brilliant social function Of the sea-
son. No detail was wanting to make it
worthy of the popularity OF the bride
and her esteemed parents, and whether
we consider the imposing array of we'd
ding presents, the beauty Of the dceora-
tions, the high social standing Of the
guests and the perfect taste that char
actcrized every feature Of the various
phases of the ceremonies, no wedding
ever solemnized in Shreveport was quite
equal to it.
The marriage ceremony took place
at the residence of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Herman Loeb, whose hos
pitabe home on Milan and Edwards
was transformed into a vernal bower OF
beauty The parlors aud the spacious
halls presented profusion of palms
and roses and lilies OF the valley in
tasteful array, while in the parlor where
the marriage service was, a small altar
had been erected draped in palms and
lilies, while from the dais dove OF
roses and valley lilies was suspended
The bride, Miss Tillie Loeb, becom-
ingiy arrayed i'll a gown Of charmcuse
over while messaline, was striking pic
ture Of feminine beauty, and at her side
Mr. Percy Meyer, with strong, intelli-
gent cast Of features, instinct with reso-
Lutte purpose, looked every inch man
worthy of her choice.~Nearby stood the

After the strains Of Mendelsohn's
wedding " dIdii4ffes ..t4areh, slsilfe.lly rendered BY
Mrs Florence Schwartz, had completed
their melodious prelude, Rabbi Jacobson
read the Jewish marriage service, ane
followed it with an eloquent but brie
address, invoking Gods choicest bless
ings upon the couple whom he had jus
solemnly pronounced to be man ant
wife.
After the usual congratulations, ad
journment was had to the Columbi;
Club, which had been beautifully pre-
lpared for the occasion, the decoration
being a notable feature. Here a recep
ton, was held, followed by a banque
and dance. Over three hundred repre-
sentatives of the worthiest element o
Shreveport society graced this function
with their presence.
During the progress of the banque
toasts were delivered by Captain You
rec, Rabbi jacobson, Michael Batl
Lean Loeb, Sol Loeb, Andrew Querbe
and N. Picard The latter effort con
tains so appropriate a tribute to til
bride that the Caucasian need not apollo
gize for reproducing it in full Mr.. Pic
