Among the very prettiest Of

occurred Tuesday afternoon at l

parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John Van
Slyke of Mob Hill, when Miss
Lurene Alice Hull of Hastings,

Lorenzo Thorne Van Slyke of
this city.
Miss Lorraine Griffin played
softly Lohrengrln's wedding march
as the bride, preceded by Miss
Ella Black of Chicago, and Miss
May Killen of Seattle, sorority
sisters of the bride, descended the
stairs. In the hall they were met
by the groom, who led the bride
to an improvi,ed altar where the
officiating Clergyman, Rev. I, M.
Kirkpatrick of the United Presby-
terian church read the full Epis-
copal ring ceremony, with which
they were united in marriage.
Tne ceremony was performed in
the presence of 30 relatives and
intimate friends in the living
room, decorated in green and
white carnations, under a dainty
canopy of smilax centered by q
white wedding bell. The dining
room was most artistic in clusters
of pink carnations and ropes of
smiIax festooned from chandelier
to the table corners. Pink car
nations formed the centerpiece
above which hung pendent from
the chandelier, q dainty white bell.
The bride was charming in an
imported gown Of white chantil1y
lace and French embroidery, wear.
ing pearl ornaments and corsage
bouquet of white hyacintbs. Miss
Black wore corn-colored messaline
With q corsage bouquet of violets,
and Miss Killen light blue chiffon
over blue satin and wore valley
lilies. Mrs. w. E. Hull, mother
of the bride, was gowned in lsven-
der crepe de chine with amethyst
ornaments. Mrs. A. B. Ross and
Miss Fauset presided over the din
ing table from which a most de-
licious luncheon was served.
Mr.. and Mrs. Van Slyke will
enjoy a short trip to the Sound
and upon their return will make
their home on Sixteenth avenue,
Inglewood, where a new bunga-
low of artistic design and arrange
ment awaits their occupancy.
The bride and groom are natives
of Hastings, Minn., where they
were friends and schoolmates dur
ing childhood.

fitting on such occasions
Master Fred Lukins acted as the
ring bearer, which was a monster

a pillow until it was to be placed
on the finger of the blushing bride.
One thing marred the ceremony
and came near blasting the hopes
of two young hearts that beat as
one. billie" Lukins, age three,
with vandel like instinct and
vorscious appetite, ate the wedding
ring. However this disaster was
rectfied and the ceremony went on
to a happy ending. Music and
refreshments rounded out the even

interests of the Quapaw Gas Co.
Norwich bulletin., 1912-11-09

of persons standing in line wondering what they had done to incur his bru- tality.
 The paraders were altogether un aware that the colonel had become an- gered and the management ordered the programme broken up without warning and cut loose from the whole thing. Meanwhile five thousand per sons were gathered at the Plaza park waiting for the colonel to deliver a short address. After 8 dreary hour had passed the crowd dwindled away in disgust.
 Roosevelt gave no thought to the crowds that he had disappointed both on the streets and in Plaza park. He was taken to St. Johns and Kenton In the suburbs of Portland, where he enjoyed quiet spin, and if he gave any thoughts to the disrupted pro- gramme there was no apology. While Roosevelt was speeding about members of the entertainment com mittee who had been left behind started a search for him. Several au- | tomobiles were sent scouting about the city trying-to find the colonel, but there was no idea that he had made for the country and no one saw Roose- welt until he concluded his ride and returned to the hotel
 Roosevelt was also scheduled by the | committee to make an address at Hol | laday park, where another small audi ence awaited him. The colonel went l to the park according to schedule, but | he absolutely refused to leave his au7 tomobile, and after saying few words | dashed away before the crowd knew | he had arrived
 Roosevelt among his other troubles in Portland today completely lost his temper over the loss of book he had been reading and made things exceed | fngly unpleasant for conSidera ble number of persons, including his sec | retary, the management of the hotel | where he was staying and his hosts. | The colonel had set brief time aside 1 for rest, and dropping into a char called for copy of The Second Ro- man Republic" which he had laid | down in the room. When it was found to be missing he flew into a maniacal rage.
 Find me that book" he yelled at | his secretary. 'T want it now" The colonel paced the room like a caged beast while he waited for the volume, in the meantime demanding over and over again that the book be produced.
 Secretaries, hotel attaches and mem bers of the reception committee joined in the search, but the book was gone.
 Roosevelt demanded to know who had been admitted to his room after he had left and was told that no one had. The name of a woman to whom he had shown the book in the morning was mentioned. but Roosevelt cleared her of suspicion of taking It.
 After leaving the hotel his amazing anger did not abate, and when his Auditorium speech was finished he an nounced he had decided not to return to the hotel for dinner, but go directly to his train.
 On the way, however, he stopped at the hotel, the Oregon, and called for the manager. Then before his attend ants and the reception committee and scores of onlookers he gave the man. ager a vicious calldown for the loss of the book and demanded that the hotel advertise for 1t. Everyone who heard the unprintable language employed
 was astonished at the colonels' out I break over what anyone else would have regarded as a trife.
