Beautiful Wedding in shepherdstown.


and Miss Rose Eleanor Snyder, daughter
of Mr.. Harry L. Snyder, publisher OF the
Shepherdstown Register, were married
last Thursday evening in st. Peters
Lutheran Church, the ceremony being
performed by the pastor, Rev. |. d. Wor-
man. The church and the Sunday school,
room adjoining were filled with friends
of the popular young couple who had
gathered to witness the happy event.
The time for the wedding was six
o'clock, and as the clock struck the hour
the doors were thrown open, the we'd
ding march from Lohengrin beautifully
rendered by Mr.. Richard Spohn sounded
its first strains, and the bridal party en-
cred. The bridesmaids entered by the
south aisle. They were Misses Margaret
Morgan and Hazel Kisner, OF Carlisle,
Pa, Miss Eleanor Bonsal, of Phlladel-
phia, and Miss Rachel Turner, OF Shep-
herdstown. The groomSmen, Messrs.
Withrow Legge, of Washington, Walter
Stouffer, OF Maryland, and Horace Mem.
Banks and Stuart Criswell, OF Shepherds
town, entered by the opposite aisle al
the same time. Then came the maid OF
honor, Miss Rachel Snyder, who was
followed by the little Hover girl, Eleanor
Lyme, strewing rose leaves from basket
of flowers. The bride entered on the
arm OF her father, being met at the chan
Gel by the groom and his best man, Mr..
William B. Snyder. The ring ceremony
of the Lutheran Church was impressively
read by the minister, and at its close the
Joyous Mendelssohn wedding march
pealed out and the bride and groom and
their attendants left the church by the
north aisle.
The wedding was simple one, but it
was very beautiful in its arrangement.
The bride looked lovely in her gown of
rich white satin, trimmed with pearls.
She wore wedding veil caught up with
orange blossoms, and carried a shower
bouquet OF Bride roses and lilies OF the
valley. The maid OF honor wore hand
some dress of pink taffeta and carried
Killarney roses, while the fair young
bridesmaids were more than usually
pretty in exquisite gowns OF cream netand
oriental lace, with pink tafteta bodiceS,
and carrying tea roses. The flower girl
was sweet and pretty in white lingerie
dress with pink ribbons. The gentlemen
OF the bridal party were all in full dress.
The church was most attractively dec
Grated, the color scheme being white and
green. Graceful ferns and other greenery
were frightened by white flowers in
profuSion, and the chancel was a bower
of beauty. The handsome church, filled
as il was with an interested audience in
which were so many pretty girls and
handsome women, presented scene OF
brilliant loneliness that will long be re-
membered. There were many guests
from neighboring towns and cities.
Immediately after the ceremony a re-
ception was held at the home OF the bride,
where more than four hundred guests
were entertained. After the guests had
been received by the host and members
OF the wedding party, and the bride and
groom had been felicitated, they were
served with refreshments by a hall score
OF pretty girls and their assistants. There
was much interest when the bride cut
the large wedding cake and the search
for the emblemS il contained was begun.
The large house was taxed 10 its capaci-
ty TO contain the great number OF guests,
but all of them enjoyed the occasion to
the utmost.
AT s O'Clock the newly married couple
left for bridal trip to Washington and
Atlantic City. They went by automobile
TO Shenandoah Junction, accompanied by
several other cars containing members Of
the bridal party, and as they took the
train at the Junction they were Showered
with rice by their friends, whose good
wishes followed them with genuine Sin
certify. Upon their return from their
wedding trip they will make their home
with Mr.. Lyne's parents, near town.
The bride was the recipient OF many
beautiful and costly wedding gifts. The
directors of the LETTERS Security Bank,
in which the groom is employed, gave a
chimes clock ofmahogany, an exceedingly
handsome thing that was most deeply ap-
preciated. The gift Of Mr.. and Mrs. h.
L. Lyme was all elegant set OF mahogany
bedroom furniture complete. The brides
father presented her with beautiful Tea
set OF sterling silver OF colonial design,
and her uncle, J. w. Snyder, OF Wash

A number OF presents were received from
friends in California, and one from the
far-off State OF Washington.
