reached our table, appears an ac-

Amid bower of snowy chrysan-
themums, palms and ferns in the
family home where the young bride
has passed her girlhood days, Miss
Mercy Walker Lewis, the winsome
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar K.
Lewis, became the bride of Charles
Ira futile, Jr., last evening.
The ceremony was performed by
the Rev. Paul Jones, bishop-elect of
the Episcopal missionary district of
Utah, at 8 80 o'clock in the presence
of the family, relatives and close
friends of the young people. The
bridal party stood under an immense
canopy of ferns, smilax and white
y
across the entire end of the library.
The snowy blossoms and ferns were
also massed on the mantels and seen
ia graceful profusion all through the
house.
The orchestra stationed on the up
per landing of the stairway played
the Mendelssohn wedding march as
the members of the wedding party
took their places, preceded by the
ushers Clarence Miner and Gerrit
Fort.

the handsome toilettes of the BRIDE
attendants. The bridesmaids, Miss
Romola King and Miss Bryan Hous-

dainty French frock with rose-colored
sach and ribbon bows, preceded her
sister, bearing an artistic basket of
rose petals, which she scattered in
her pathway.
The bride was lovely beyond
description as she entered on the
arm of her father in her bridal
costume, which was marked by
elegant simplicity. The imported
gown was of soft liberty chiffon satin
almost entirely yelled with rose point
and Chantilly silvered lace, the long
veil of Brussels lace edged with
seed pearls, which was fastened to
her hair by cap of old rose point
