Lee-Hogstad Wedding
Was Beautiful Affair

An exceptionally pretty home we'd
ding occurred at 2:30 Thursday after
noon, Jan. q, at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. T. j. Lee, IL miles south of VAL
ley City, when their youngest daugh-
ter, Anna Elsie, became the bride of
Lars B. Hogstad, Rev. B. Struxness,
of the Fingal Lutheran church officiat-
ing. ....
AS the strains of Mendelssohn's
Wedding March, played by Mrs. A. w.
Lee, announced the approach of
the wedding party the groom
and best man, Henry T. Lee,
brother of the bride, took their places
before the canopied arch which had
been erected in the parlor, it's. grace
full white foundation being wound with
smilax and decorated with ferns,
which reared their dainty fronds over
the heads of the party, while fragrant
carnations and roses peeped out from
among the greenery. The rest of the
rooms were decorated with simulated
apple blossoms, carrying out the color
scheme of pink and white that pre-
vailed in the entire affair. The little
ring bearer, Jeanette Lee, the tiny
niece of the bride, in white satin gown
with big pink bow, carried the ring
in the heart of pink rose and was
followed by the bridesmaid, the sister
Of the bride, Miss Hilda Lee, who wore
pink georgette crepe and carried a
bouquet Of sunburst roses. The bride
followed, on the arm of her father,
gowned in white charmeuse with
chantilly lace and georgette crepe,
carrying beautiful bouquet of brides
roses and lilies Of the valley. II Love
You Truly" was beautifully rendered
by Mrs. T. Melvin Lee, accompanied
by Mrs. A. W. Lee. Following the Ger.
emory Mrs. T. Melvin Lee sang "A
Perfect Day."
After congratulations were bestow.
ed upon them the afternoon was spent
in social chat and at o'clock boun-
teous three-course wedding dinner
was served at two large tables in the
dining room. The tables were also
decorated with smilax, roses and car
nations, while dainty place cards and
nut baskets in white and pink brought
out the daintiness of the color scheme.
The individual cake boxes were also
in pink. Covers were laid for Is.
The bride is very popular in her
neighborhood, having been raised on
the farm where she was married, and
her popularity extends wherever she
is known, for she is held in high es-
TEEN by all who know her. She held
a position as clerk in the county
treasurer's office for a couple of years
and has many friends in the city who
will extend best wishes to her.
Mr.. Hogstad is the popular cashier
of the Farmers State bank of Nome.
which position he has held for several
years and his personality may well be
judged by the high standing in the
community of the institution over
which he presides. His many friends
congratulate him upon his choice of
the young lady he has chosen for his
bride. ..e
