candle, stood at the head of the
staircase to assist in directing the
ladies. Preceding the ceremony
Mr.. Thomas E. Dewey sang "How
Do / Love Thee" by White, accom-
panied by Miss Lucille Colby.
Following this Miss Gertrude
Welch, sister of the groom, played
the Lohengrin wedding march, to
the music of which the bridal party
took their places.
Little Miss Florence Kern, in a
charming blue organdie frock and
Master Joe Osburn, wearing a dark
velevet Fauntleroy suit with cut lace
collar and cuffs, bore white satin
ribbons, forming an aisle from the
hall to the west alcove of the living
room, where an arch of smilax had
been placed. Forming walls at each
side of the aisle were latticed trel-
Uses, entirely covered with smilax.
Many beautiful cathedral candles in
tall standards illumined the path.
The groom, attended by his broth
er, Everett Welch, as best man, took
his place before the arch. Next
came Miss Margaret Tibbals, first
bridesmaid, with Mr.. Colin McCor-
mick, first groomsman. Miss Mary
Welch and Mr.. Louie Schimmel fol-
lowed and Miss Rebecca Mattson
and Mr.. Donald Mccormick came
directly behind these. The three
bridesmaids wore quaint taffeta
models in pastel shades with tight
bodices and full, corded skirts. Miss
Tibbals' was of pink, Miss Welch's of
green and Miss Mattson's of laven-
der. Their coiffures were wreathed
in twisted ribbons, the same shade
as the gowns, with silver streamers
matching their silver slippers. They
carried bouquets of Ophelia roses,
showered with silver ribbons from the
center rose.
Miss Wilma Demuth, as maid of
honor, followed the bridesmaids and
groomsmen. She were a beautiful
georgette crepe petal gown, shading
from pale to deep blues, and gold
slippers. Gold streamers hung from
her blue ribbon head band. She
carried an arm bouquet of deep pink
Columbia roses.
Next came the bride on the arm
of her uncle, Mr.. George M. Dewey,
by whom she was given in mar
riage. Her lovely gown was of
bridal satin embroidered in pearls,
with long court train fastened at
the shoulders. Orange blossoms
fastened the tulle veil to a coronet
fashioned of silver lace. She car
ried a beautiful bouquet of brides
roses and bebe chrysanthemums,
showered with satin ribbons. The
bride wore a string of pearls, gift
of the groom.
Mrs. Dewey, mother of the bride,
wore ivory Canton crepe effectively
contrasted with string of jet beads.
The groom's mother wore dark
blue Canton crepe gown embroider-
ed with touches of bright colors.
The ceremony was performed by
DR.. B. G. Mattson, of Hillsdale,
former pastor of the Congregational
church of this city, in the presence
of about one hundred guests. Fol
lowing Fluctuations, the guests were
directed to places at tables by Mrs.
George M. Dewey, mistress of cere-
monies. The long table at which
the bridal party was seated was most
artistically decorated with snow ber-
ries and bitter sweet, with candle
illumination. Crystal baskets Of cos
mos with tulle bows formed the CEN
ter pieces of the small tables, placed
throughout the spacious rooms. Un-
usually attractive were the many
baskets of pine branches, mixed with
colored grasses, painted milkweed
and teazel, which lent an autumn
note to the decorations.
A delicious two-course wedding
supper was served by the Misses AL
berta Palmer, Helen Melchers,
Queen Robinson, Grace Evans, Flor
ence Woodard, Margaret Lord, Marie

French handkerchiefs, and the others
with hand painted Japanese card
cases. Her gifts to the attendants
of the wedding party were dainty
vanity cases. The groom presented
his attendants with cuff links.
Directly following the ceremony
the bride and groom motored to Flint
and from there left for trip to
