unique and interesting wedding al
pm. January "a, when Miss Eta
lee Moore, a 'aVorite teacher in this
department and Major James Wash
birn Of U. 5. regular cavalry were
united in marriage.
The bride, having been closely
connected with dormitory life for
several years, was beseiged by her
co-workers TO allow the quiet we'd
ding she had planned TO be set aside
and TO have a dormitory wedding
which all Foundation girls might at
tend in its stead. Her consent having
been obtained, boys, girls and teach
ers contributed their labor of love
20 make the Hall festive place. ",
entrance, stairways, halls, mantels,
and flreplaces were lavishly deco
rated with evergreens from the Ken
lucky hills, beloved by both bride
and groom.
As in the marriage of John Alden
and Priscilla, in days Of yore, il was
not deemed sufficient that the
church alone should be present, but
school and state were summoned TO
add dignity TO the ceremony.
Mr.. Bradley Kincaid Of the A. f.
F. in army uniform and Mr.. Earl
Wiseman in navy uniform acted as
ushers and Miss Alice X Douglas,
we'll known TO Bereans, filled the
place Of hostess.
The walls Of the long hall thru
which the bridal party passed were
lined with garlands OF fresh young
Foundation girls in whose cheeks
bloomed the lily and the rose and
whose eyes glistened with the dews
Of life's morning. The reception
room in which the ceremony took
place was graced by a line Of stall
vart youths Of the local chapter OF
the American Legion, ranged about
its walls. These young men In uni
form, gathered to do honor TO their
comrade, the Major, who had shared
the awful carnage and dangers Of
the Western Front" and who had
been specially decorated for bravery
in action where the fight was the
hottest.
The doorway Of the reception
room was converted into an altar
by draperies of Old Glory and \
background OF flowers and ferns.
Here DR.. Raymond, . former teach
er Of both bride and groom, clad in
surplice and gown, officiated.
As the strains Of 70, Promise Me"
sung by Miss Edna Healy died away,
the wedding march played by Mr..
II. f. Taylor ushered in the bridal
party.
The bridesmaid, Miss Mabel Coyle,
a cousin Of the bride, arrayed in
black crepe-de- chine and carrying
pink roses came first, attended by
Mr.. Edward Davis of the A. E. F. in
navy uniform. The groom in full
cavalry uniform, including cap and
spurs, and looking every inch the
distinguished soldier, followed, at
tended by Mr.. Earl Lockin Of the A.
r. F. in army uniform. Little Anna
Roberts, most charming in white,
came neN with the wedding ring on
a silver salver. The bride clad in
a handsome brown travelling suit Of
military cut carrying largebouquet
Of white roses followed with her
maid Of honor, Miss Partee, dressed
in black satin and carrying a bou-
quet Of pink roses.
The Episcopal ring service as pro-
nounced by DR.. Raymond and re-
peated by the bride and groom was
most beautiful and impressive. All
who listened TO the rich, gracious
service, so feelingly interpreted by
DR.. Raymond felt that he had en-
barked the couple upon life's sea, !
free from all adversely TO sail Sc
curely,
land safely reach
The Fortunate Isles on whose shin
ing beach,
The sights we see and the sounds
we hear,
Shall be those OF joy and not Of
fear"
After congratulations the bride
threw her bouquet into a group Of
young people. To the dismay Of the
girls the fortunate symbol fell 10 the
LOT Of Mr.. Edward Davis, who not
wishing TO keep for himself the IA |
vorable augury divided the bouquet
among the forlorn maidens so we
predict with assurance that there
will be many weddings before
another year rolls around.
Owing 10 the Mexican and labor
troubles, the groom. much 10 his and
10 Foundations regret was COM
PEELED TO hasten back TO duty imme-
