of an audience composed of the elite

church to OVERCOMING
The bridal party arrived promptly
on time, and, on their arrival, the aug
mented surpliced choir slowly marched
up the aisle, singing wedding hymn,
and took it's place inside the chancel
rail.
Then came the bridal party, with
slow and measured tread, in the fol-
lowing order: ..,..~
The ushers, Messrs. A V. Hall, Will
lis Coulter, Samuel Scott and VIM. 7.
Godette, attired in black Prince Al
bert coats and grey striped trousers.
Following, came the bridesmaid,
Miss Charlotte Gillard, who wore a
beautiful white satin gown, and car
ried a large bunch of pink roses.
The matron of honor, Mrs. William
Neal, came next, gOWned in a beautiful
creation of blue silk embroidered net
over blue satin, carrying a bouquet Of
red roses.
The bride came last, wearing a su-
perb gown of white satin and lace
demi-train, and carried a shower bou-
quet Of brides roses.
AS the bride appeared in the aisle,
the groom and best man, Mr.. A. Wor-
den Haynes, emerged from a room
| near the altar and met her at the altar
steps. .--.
Then the rector, Rev. A. H. Lealtad,
approached and began to read the GER
emory.
The bride was given away by her
father.
| At the proper point Miss Eunice
Glass sweetly sang 81 Love You
Truly" =
The troths were plighted and the
couple were pronounced man and wife,
and, while Miss Blanche Branham
played the wedding march, the bridal
party retraced their steps, entered the
waiting carriages and were whisked to
the residence of the brides parents,
S52 Albemarle street, where the we'd
ding reception was held from to
p. m.
The wedding was conceded to have
been the most beautiful ever held in
the church.
| At the reception the house was dec
| GRATED appropriately There was a
large green canopy, under which the
| bridge and groom, assisted by the
members of the bridal party, received
the guests, who came in large num-
d! bers, and, after rendering congratula-
| tons, were served with refreshments
in the dining room from a handsomely
decorated table, Mesdames J.. B. John
son, r. H. Anderson and Firston White
serving.
The popularity of the young couple
was most decidedly attested by the
| large number of very magnificent and
! substantial presents which had been
| sent by friends from far and near, and
which were displayed in an upper
room. The reception was very de,
lightful in every way.
The young couple left on their bri
! dial tour yesterday morning, carrying
with them the best wishes of their
host of friends in the Twin Cities

18th at 1882 Fifteenth street N W..
