SOCIETY
A MOCK WEDDING.

OS1 80
A mock wedding constituted the
program of the ITALIAN Literary So
Getty of Dakota Wesleyan last Satur-
day evening and furnished ain unusu-
al form of entertainment ana amuse-
ment for the members of that body.
The event was given in the society
room in Main hall, being presented by
the freshman girls of the society.
The efforts were realistic. The alt
ar laden with flowers, the bridal pro-
~cession to the strains of the Mendels-
schn wedding march, the ring service
of ceremony, together with the elab-
crate gowns characteristic of such an
occasion made IL picture of pleasing
similarity to those of a bona fide ma
ture.
Miss Marie Blunt assumed the role
of the bewitching bride. She was
dressed in white crepe de meteor over
silk. Her bouquet was of brides roses.
Miss Helen Fox impersonated the
groom in excellent fashion. The cere-
mony was performed by Miss Lois
Pinch. The flower girls were the
Misses Myrtle Upton and Mary
Woodford.
The whole affair was planned and
executed in the most minute style
and such accompanying details as rice
and old shoes to mark the departure
of the bridal couple did not fail to
make appearance at the correct mo-
ment. The Thalians welcomed the di-
version of the evening as a most en-
|joyable II from the usual program
of literary numbers.
