The home of Mr.. and Mrs. H. w.
Young at l29 First Ave. East, was the
scene Of very beautiful ceremony on
Wednesday evening, June s, when
their daughter Mary Alice was united
in marriage to Mr.. Emmett Dudley Nc.
Williams of Chester, Iowa.
The rooms were deliberately decora-
ted in pink and green. In the living
room were masses of bride roses,
while clusters of larch depended grace
fully from the tops of the doorways.
The den adjoining was festive in hon.
eysuckles and potted plants.
At eight o'clock the strains of Men,
delssohn's wedding march, played by
Miss Reba Counselman, heralded the
approach of the bridal party. Preced-
ed by the officis ting clergyman, Rev.
E. G. Copeland, the couple took their
place in the reception room, standing
between pyramids of Boston ferns
which were interspersed with cream
Aeur-de-lis. The brides gown was of
beautiful silk bisque georgette crepe
over silk, embroidered, and trimmed
with pearl beads and small velvet June
roses. She carried bouquet of bride
roses and maiden hair ferns, caught
with long and short loops of white
satin ribbon. T..
Immediately following the impress
sive ring service, the dining room doors
were thrown open and the bride and
groom proceeded to the brides table
where covers were laid for five, the
brides father and mother, and the
groom's mother being seated with the
happy young couple. The decorations
consisted of bank of pink roses in the
center, with pink ribbons stretching
from the e.ectrolier to the four cor
ners of the table. Crystal candle
sticks with pink tapers, and pink
shades over the electric lights added to
the beauty of the scene. Small tables,
similarly decorated, were placed for
the other guests. The favors were in
the form of two tiny white hearts,
joined with pink bows, and bearing the
monograms of the bride and groom in
pink. A two course luncheon, daint-
lily prepared by Mrs. G. E. Champlin,
was pleasingly served by the Misses
Eunice Davenport and Hazel Burr, two
members of the brides Sunday School
class. The victrola played softly dur
ing the luncheon hour.
After the tables were removed, con.
gratulations were extended and Mr..
and Mrs. McWilliams soon slipped
away upon their honeymoon, which will
be spent in Minneapolis and St. Paul.
The brides travelling gown was Of
midnight blue taffets silk with tan
boots and gloves to match. They will
receive their friends after August first
at Chester, L., where . prettily fur
nished home awaits them. The large
array Of beautiful wedding gifts will
lend q distinguishing feature to the
new home.
Mr.. McWilliams has been q banker
in Chester for fifteen years and has
many friends who will welcome him
and his charming wife to their midst.
The bride was born and grew to wo.

been generously bestowed in the vari-
Gus social and religious interests of the

unite in wishing her much happiness in
