The bride was tastefully attired in blue silk with white trimmings and
carried a bouquet of white chrysanthemums.  The groom in the usual
conventional black.  The house decorations were in white and green.

The impressive ceremony was witnessed by about forty guests, who, after

useful gifts bespoke the love and esteem of numerous friends.

After a brief visit to Chicago and St. Louis, the young people will leave
for their southern home.
