Double Wedding-At the beautiful
home of the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. G. T. Barton, occurred q pretty
double wedding on Sunday evening
at 6 o'clock. The contracting parties
were Carl Splitter of Napoleon and
Miss Evelyn Barton and Harvey
Beal Of Kintyre and Miss Marion
Barton. The Rev. Schagel of Hazel
ton officiated, using the beautiful
and impressive ring service. Howard
Barton, brother Of the brides, acted
as ring-bearer, carrying the rings in
daffodil. At the appointed hour
to the music Of Mendelssohn's we'd
ding march, played by Miss Ruth
Beal, the bridal party preceded by
the minister and ring bearer de-
scended the stairs and stationed
themselves in the parlor, and in the
presence of 80 guests, all relatives,
took the solemn vows that linked
their future. Lowell Barton, a
brother Of the brides, acted as best
man, and Miss Helen Sheer, a niece
Of Mr.. Splitter, acted as bridesmaid.
The brides were charmingly gowned
in orchid and green georgette with
flowing wells to match and carried
yellow and orchid chrysanthemums.
The bridesmaid wore a delicate
shade Of yellow. Cut flowers and
ported ferns lent the effect of beauty
that was indeed indicative of good
taste. Mrs. Reta Aavig of Mandan
sang two beautiful and appropriate
songs-"I Love You Truly" and
when Song is Sweet" Following
the ceremony and after congratula-
tions and good wishes had been ex-
tended, Mr.. and Mrs. Barton invited
their guests to a bountiful buffet
wedding supper. The many costly
and appropriate presents received
are evidence of the friendship and
esteem in which the newly welded
young people are held by the many
friends they have made during their
LIES residence in this vicinity. The
wedding occurred on the birthday
Of the brides father as well as
Armistice Day. Amid the good-byes
Of the wedding guests the happy
quartet left that evening for a short
trip to the eastern part of the state.
