mer home, Arcadia, kelton l.. White
and Miss Blanche Turner were united
in marriage. The wedding took place
about five in. the afternoon, Rev.
Father Wernert officiating, and was
witnessed by a large assembiage OF
friends from the city of St. Louis and
Of the Valley.
When we entered the spacious
grounds the scene before us was a
feast to the eye: the rich green OF the
gently sloping lawn, the flowers, the
~shrubbery, and the great outrageous
oaks of primeval growth guarding the
stately mansion cresting the whole,
made a picture beyond the scope OF
the artists pencil. Then, too. youth
and beauty enlivened the premises
with bright colors aud Joyous laughter.
Looking out to the north the glorious
Arcadia Valley lay before us with its
veraant dales and encircling noun
tains IN whose chain towering Pilot
Knob sat as a brooch. There are
mountains higher than ours; canons
UNNECESSARILY deeper; torrents more
raging; climbs more perilous' but Tor
everyday wear, always inviting and
never firing, | ask no odds OF the
Andes, the Alps or the Rockies!
1t was planned to hold the marriage
, ceremony on the lawn adjacent to the
!, house, under a mammoth oak, and the
. way from the dwelling to the tree
: was covered with white canvas. FOR
) Il time it was feared that into Wara
: weather would interfere. There was
: a light sprinkle or two Of rain, but
g about 4:30 the skies cleared and the
e sun shone %gloriously. The "As-
0 sembly" was blown and we all group
Il ed about the space where the words
2, that bind were to be uttered. Pres
10 emily the strains Of the Mendelssohi
wedding march awoke the echoes ant
the bridal procession, keeping trut
l. step, came in due order, placing the
$; parties principal before the officiating
le minister. Rev. Father Wernert. In 1
few minutes the fateful words were
k, spoken, the pledge given, N tht
ID "two hearts that Beat as one' were
ID c~ouioined for life. Fluctuations AM
y good wishes followed, hearty and sin
err cere. ! do not attempt the description
of the habiliments that adorned tn
several dramatis personnm; ! know

constitutionaliy a prudent man. Sui
. flee it, then, to say that the stage NEE
presented a fairer scene, perfect j
~ all its appointments-one that many
' mind will treasure through the Wei:
STUDIES of years yet to come.
The wedding feast succeeded, al
hundreds partook of the good thing
A before them--solid and liquid furnish
IN ings for the inner man. We ate, "
a. drank and were satisfied. Then, aft
ort one hours social intercourse, and Q
ay inspection of the wonderful display
NJ observation-disclosures, of rare design
~, and of great intrinsic value-we bat
il good bye to our friends and musing
