Korn-Fischer

Mrs. Celestia Korn last evening were
married Alkaline, her youngest
daughter, and Mr.. William Fischer
of Milwaukee. Promptly at s o'clock
Mrs. oliver Emig sang Il Love
Thee" by HUM, accompanied on
the piano by Miss Grace Peters. The
Rev. H. F. Martin preceded the
bridal couple, to the strains OF Lob
cngrin's wedding march, played by
Miss Peters, to a bower of yellow
and white, where the impressive
ring ceremony of the Lutheran
church was read. After the hearty
congratulations a delicious dinner
was served to the hundred and fifty
guests present.
The brides wedding gow6 was of
beautiful Georgette crepe In cream
color. over a silk foundation. 1t
had a surplice bodice of the crepe
with yoke and short sleeves of filet
lace. The short skirt was caught up
in a deep fold on the right side with
spray OF white satin rosebuds.
The bodice was also trimmed with
the buds. Her bouquet was very
beautiful, 1t was made OF white
brides roses, lilies of the valley and
asparagus fern, ,on a beautiful fan
of cream silk lace and tied with
wide satin streamers. To the stems
of the roses were fastened a narrow
ribbon of gold lace into which was
fastened here and there sprays OF
fern. This ribbon extended over the
brides right shoulder and to the
hem of her dress. The handsome
white rug upon which the bridal
couple knelt is the same rug which
has served a like purpose at the
weddings of the brides three sis
tiers and her brother.
The color scheme throughout the
house and the dinner was carried
out in yellow and white. TIE cut
ting of the brides cake resulted in
great disappointment for all the
young women there, who thought
they would surely be the lucky ones.
Mrs. C. H. Pinkham received the
ring, Mrs. Henry Stevens the thin
BILE and Rev. Martin searched in
vain for the dime but at late hour
was still unsuccessful in his search.
Mrs. Fischer was born and raisei
at the home from which she now
goes forth happy bride. Her ever
ready sense of humor, her ability
to be a good mixer, and her genuine
ness in being always the same, have
endeared her to the hearts OF her
many friends. 1t is with regret that
her friends part from her. Mr.. Fisch-
er is a young man who is very like
able, and who is sincere through
and through. He is general man
ager for a large wholesale pottery
concern in Milwaukee. After a short
honeymoon trip the young couple
will go to housekeeping and will be
at home in Milwaukee, Wis.
Many beautiful presents were re-
ceived of cut glass, silver. china and
linen, which shows only in a snail
way the esteem in which the young
people are held. We wish for tI.m
a happy life, one in which there
may be plenty Of Joy and sunshine,
and one in which there may be
some shadows which will only make
the sunshine more appreciated.
The out Of town guests at the
vedding were: Mrs. A. B. McCum-
Der OF Waukesha, Wis; Mr.. Ertel
Stewart Of White City; Miss Gore
