The Portsmouth (0) Times says
Before an improvised altar of palms,
ferns and trailing smilax, interspersed
with roses, hydrangea and tall lilies,
with cathedral tapers rejecting sa-
cred atmosphere, Miss Edna Dawson
and Mr.. Dana Helmic Chappelear
plighted their troth in the presence of
formal company, in evening dress, of
seventy-nve relatives and close
friends.
Lohengrins Wedding March, played
by Mrs John l.. Grimes, of Akron, a
close friend of the bride, announced
the descent of the bridal party from
the stairway, Miss Helen Dawson, sis
ter of the bride, leading the way. She
was daintily attired in pale pink geor-
gette. over pink silk, with trimmings
of cream lace and pink satin bows,
carrying pink Columbia roses. She
was met at the foot of the stairway by
Mr.. Raymond Chappelear, brother of
the groom, who acted as best man.
Next came the little flower girls,
Elizabeth Dawson, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Asa Dawson of Pittsburgh,
and little Christine RUSSELL daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Russell, a
niece of the bride, both fairy-llke in
sheer frocks of white, with pink rib
bons, carrying artistic baskets, tied
with tulle bows, of Roses and sweet
peas, which they scattered in the path
way of the bride and groom
Following these little maidens came
the attractive bride, who descended the
stairway with an unconscious CRANE.
She was a vision of feminine charm in
her bridal gown of exquisite ivory sat
in, draped with dainty chantilly lace.
Her distinct style was enhandced by
the graceful briday veil of silk net,
draped fan-shape, and caught with or
wreath. Ser shower bouquet of white
Killarney roses and white Swainsonia
completed her bridal toilet. She was
met at the foot of the stairway by the
groom, and together they proceeded to
the Altar / nthe west parlor, where
Rev. n. Il. Butler of Trinity Methodist
church read the impressive ring serv-
ice uniting in marriage these two pop
ular young people, during which APP
propriate airs were played softly by
Mrs. Grimes.
After this happy elimination the
| guests were invited to the rining room,
which was a bower of the pink and
white Dorothy Perkins rambler rose
Baskets and bowls of this dainy flower
were used artistically at vantage
points about the room. The table dec
orations included tall candle-sticks
with soft pink shades, around the
beautiful wedding cake.
Mrs. Asa Dawson had charge of the
cooling refreshments of brick ice
cream, in white and pink heart-shaped
centers, cake and pink and white minis
carrying out the prevailing colors
Misses Margaret Legler, Katherine
Hall and Florence Riley gracefully as.
sisted with the refreshments, while the
favors of small corsage bouquets ant
bouttonaires were pinned on by three
dainty little misses-Nell and Esther
Gableman and Elizabeth Dawson.
Immediately after this feature, the
bride and groom left on a motor triI
through the East, the destiny being
