a gown of ivory white charmeuse,
trimmed deliberately with lace and
brilliants and carried a shower bou-

Valley and ferns. The groom wore
a suit of navy blue and looked very
proud and manly-a fitting mate for

AS soon as dinner was over, the
bride and groom prepared for their
trip. They intended driving to Arion
and take the Northwestern train for

so out-witted their waiting friends.

The brides going away costume
was navy blue silk serge, black coat,
black hat and white furs, and she
looked very sweet and happy as she
autoed away to her new life. They
went first to Ames, from there to
Clinton, then to Chicago and expect
to be gone on their honeymoon trip
about three weeks. Then they are
coming back to Mr.. Kepford's where
they will remain until the middle OF
February, when their new house will
be ready for them, and they will make
their future home on the farm near
Dell Rapids, S. d.
