some young man appeaed at the
brides side in a suit of brown duck.
All this quaintness and unconven-
tionality was carried out to please
the groom's father who rewarded

the ceremony, Mr.. Powers explained
in most entertaining manner his
idea In requesting this extremely
simple arrangement; assuring the
young people It was not on account
Of a wish to be eccentric or sensa-
tional, but to enjoy the exhibition of
bravery and strength of character
such a proceeding called for. The
bridal couple, after a change Of cos
tune, dined at Hotel Marion, ac-
companled by Miss Mlnnetta Mayors
and Mr.. Herschell Powers. On ac-
