Mr.. and Mrs. d. A. Grimes have
returned from Sharpsburg, KY,
where they attended the wedding of
a cousin of Mr.. Grimes, Miss Alma
Katherine Clark to Mr.. Oscar
Clayton Ramey. The ceremony was
said by Rev. Bowen, of Lexington,

brides widowed mother, Mrs. Emma
Donaldson Clark, in the presence of
about seventy-fve relatives and
friends from Chicago, ILL.,, Ports
mouth, o., Paris, Carrollton, Bethel,
Mt. Sterling, Georgetown and
Sharpsburg, Ky. The attendants
were the lovely young brunette sister
IF the bride, Miss Bessie Lee Clark,
and the brother of the groom, Mr.. j..
A. Ramey. The bride was beautiful
in typical, elegant, bridal attire,
with wedding veil falling to the hem
of the full fared skirt-made walk
ing length. Her flowers were bride
roses and valley lilies. The maid
also was attired in an exquisite tot
ct of white, of modish fashion, and
white-the flowers bride roses, Sc
cured with smilax, and delicate
pink maline, in shade of the roses.
From the scene of the marriage the
bridal party and wedding guests
went in autos to the groom's old
Kentucky home-a Southern mansion
three miles distant from Sharps-
burg, wher wedding feast Of FIVE
courses was in waiting. This was
served at four tastefully appointed
tables-the decorations being green
and white-the flowers bride roses,
and carnations. At one table sa' the
bride and groom, with their attend
ants and closest young relatives and
FRI 9nds; at another were their
young married relatives and friends;
at another their older married rela-
tives and friends, Mr.. and Mrs. d. A.
Grimes and others; and at the other
the mother, gowned in white crepe de
chine, aEl the more elderly guests.
From the tables, in the immense din
ing room, guests repaired to the
large living room, where the last of
the five courses was served-this
being brides cake and coffee. The
cake made by the groom's aunt, Mrs.
Mamie Richardson, of Mt. Sterling,
KY, was "simply immense"-sixty
egg whites having been used in its
snowy composition. 1t was square,
instead of round, and built in tiers
three being the number-and
fancifully iced, The bride and
groom stood by the old mahogany, on
which it was stationed, and the bride
cut a slice of the delicious confec-
ton for each of the seventy-five or
more wedding guests. Coffee was
served with the cake-the ice having
been served with fancy individual
cakes with the fourth course at
table. The happy couple will reside
with the brides mother at Sharps-
burg. The wedding gifts were many
and handsome, proving, in a
measure, the esteem in which the
bride and groom and their respee-
tive old Kentucky families are held.
