Cartoons Magazine Last night at the
|glittering and gorgeous home of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Hicks, 800 Ninth place. Miss Mary Gla-
dys Hicks and Mr. Adelbert Smithers
We're united in the sensational, awe-in-
aspiring bonds Of matrimony. The we'd
lding service was pronounced in peer
less and poppy manner by the Spirit
Iually Rich and Right Reverend Doctor
Morton S. Dodds, rector Of the excep-
tionally expensive and exclusive Saint
CrCpsus- in-the- Fields.
The bride entered upon the massive,
muscular and marvelOusly moulded
arm. of her father. passing through an
avenue of the largest, longest and lat
Iitudiest tropic palms in captivity, while
the air about was heavy with the SHIN
mering, .seethng scent of precious and
overpowering petals of spring, ranged
in racy and rollicking array, about the
handsome and harmonious Hicks home.
An orchestra OF four-count them -
clever, comic and delightfully."- daring
musicians, supplied the mushy and me-
lodious music to which the bridal party
modestly and morally marched. The
grand, gigantic and brObdignagian
groom, accompanied by his bald, brave
and best man, Mr.. w. Percy Smithers,
awaited them at the impoverished, but
otherwise faultless, altar.
See the solemnly spectacular meeting
of the bride and groom! See the merry
and meritorious maid of honor. See the
four-comt hem.-beauteOus, beaming
and brilliant bridesmaids! See the in
nocent, infantile, infinitesinal flower
girl, Miss Teenie Hicks, in her fearless
fascinating, but foolish act of scattering
fair, freakish and fragrant flowers in
the path of her sister, the bride! See
them all They are all included, all
under one roof One invitation, remem-
Der, admits to them all, including the
concert after the wedding.
The bride was attired in silyery
and silken something of extreme sim
plicity, surrounded by-a yaporous veil
fastened to her polished and perfuned
hair, with the bursting, emblazOning
blossoms of the orange. Elsewhere up
on her proud but in no sense ponder
Gus person was n slick, snowy and scin-
tillating, diamond and bedaZZling sun
burst, the graceful gift of the generous
ands godlike groom. And remember
everything absolutely new.
After the affecting and effective ceres
.mony, real roaring reception was
held, fun furiously fast taking the
place Of rigid and rigorous restraint,
in the precious and palatial Hicks par
lors. See the sinuous smiles tripping
through the torrents Of tears! Witness
the cute, cunning and comedy kisses
Hear the conglomerate and cOntradic-I
tory congratulations! Hear the silly
and simian shippers! See the. fiippant
and frllmpish friends of the family
Listen to the glorious gurgle of the able
and absolutely alcoholic punch! And
remember-one invitation admits to
all.
The bride was tile radiant, enraptur-
ed recipient of superblyl great and in
describably glorious. glittering and gor-
geous galaxy of gifts. the presents be-
ing under the shrewd, sharp and SIN
gularly all-seeing eye Of pompous and
private detective. a supper, the most
stupendous, sensational and superla- |
lively complete ever served in any land,
was spread in the draped and dainty |
dining room by cool, keen and calcu-
lating caterer.
The grand exit, AT eleven o'clock,
amid scenes of astounding and mpara!
leled impertineiice, and u hellisll, inhu-
man hail of ancient and antiquated |
shoes, mixed and mingled with ribald
rice, the young couple left on desper-
ately dangerous, and delightfully."- de-
monstrative bridal tour. They will be
gone three-count them three weeks.
