known and popular young people of this
section was solemnized at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ellsworth E. Huyck,
Wednesday evening, when their daugh-

of Ernest r. May. 1t is perhaps un-
necessary to state that the bride is a
charming and accomplished young lady
and the groom a substantial young
business man, interested extensively in
lumber and banking, because both
were reared in Clio and have hundreds
of friends who have known them since
childhood.
The spacious parlors of the family
residence were handsomely decorated
for the occasion with a profusion Of
magnificent flowers, hundreds of beau

out the prevailing color scheme of pink.
Exactly at $50 o'clock the bridal party
entered the east parlor to the strains of
the Mendelssohn wedding march rem
dered by selected orchestra, and took
their places before an improvised altar
made beautiful with festoons of smilax,
cleaning with lighted candles and
fianked on either side with huge vases
containing bouquets of majestic pink
gladiolas. The bride, who was at

veil of white tulle, and carried shower

Following the ceremony and the ex-
tension of congratulations by the assem-
bled friends, an elaborate luncheon was
served. The decorative scheme of the
dining room was carried out with pink
rose buds, sweet peas and smilax, and
was exceedingly artistic and beautiful.
The ''bride's basket" in particular was
a superb piece of floral design, being
filled with splendid pink roses and buds,
sweet peas and asparagus fern, and
and tied with broad, handsome ribbon
of pink tulle.
The bride and groom mingled with the
guests in the most delightful and in
formal way until late hour, when, in
company with Mr.. and Mrs. Charles

celebrating the first anniversary of their
own wedding, they left on an ex-
tended auto trip which will include a
visit to Lake Geneva, Wis, where they
will remain for some days. Mr.. and
Mrs. May will make their future home
in Saginaw.
