tertained one hundred and fifty guests
the evening of January fifth, in honor
of the marriage of their daughter,
Aletta Christina, and Raymond Eu-
gene Nelson, Of Joplin, Montana.
The large rooms Of the Jacobson

dozens of electric bulbs showed. Dur
ing the service, only candles and the

vice, Mr.. Lafe Flaten sang 20 Per-
feet Love- and Miss Blanche Lynch

AS the notes of the wedding march
were heard, the groom and his best
man, Chester Jacobson, and Kew.
Nicolay Nilsen, pastor Of the Zion
Lutheran church, took their places to
await the coming of the bridal party.
Little Miss Almira Jacobson, led the
procession, dressed in a frock of or
CANDY, and carrying the ring in the
heart of lily. The bridesmaids, Miss
Mildred jacobson and Miss Amanda
Hamre, of Regina, Canada, followed.
They wore dresses Of pink taffeta,
with Castle caps of gold lace and pink
maline, and they carried baskets OF
Killarney roses. Mrs. Floren Wetch,
(nee Mabel Hunter), as matron OF
honor, wore a gown of peach colored
crepe de chine, with trimming of bor-
dered net and lace, and her bouquet
was an armful of Ophelia roses.
The bride was met at the foot OF
the stairway by her father, who gave
her away. She looked very girlish
and attractive in her bridal gown OF
white crepe meteor, trimmed with
lovely lace and pearls. The skirt was
cut a round short length, and ended
in pointed train, and the bodice was
formed of coatee Of lace, with pearl
trimming. Pearls and valley lilies
held her veil in place, and she carried
a huge shower bouquet of orange
blossoms and valley lilies.
Rev. Nilsen used the ring cere-
mony, and gave a very impressive
little sermon to the bridal couple. I'M
mediately after the exchange of vows,
Miss Irma Jones sang "I love you
truly"
During the reception, a five piece
orchestra, stationed on the stair land
ing, played program Of music, and
buffet supper was served from nine
o'clock on during the evening, in the
dining-room, which was decorated in

on the buffet and side board, and the
table centerpiece was a wedding cake,
with spray Of red roses tied with
tulle, decorating the top. Clusters of
little red candles in crystal holders
were also on the table. Mrs. j. B.

bronze green with vest and sleeves
Of black and gold net, and corsage

The prominence of the Jacobson
family in this section of the state, has
made the wedding one of deep inter-
est. They are among the earliest res
dents of Ward county, and hundreds
of friends who have been associated
with them for years will extend cor
dial good wishes for the future OF the
young people, who will ma Ike their
home in the little Montana city. Mrs.
Nelson is a very accomplished music
ian. is graduate of the Minneapolis
School of Music, and has appeared
frequently before the public. Mr..
