HOWE - HUGHES.

  Last evening at 8 o'clock at the residence of the bride, 1603 Sixth 
avenue, Miss Bertha Hughes, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Hughes, was 
joined in marriage to Mr. Joseph Howe, of this city.  The ceremony was 
performed by Rev. T. S. Wilcox, pastor of the Eighth Avenue Methodist 
Episcopal church.  The bridal couple took their places, moving to the 
music of Lohengrin's wedding march, played on the piano by Miss May 
Hughes, a sister of the bride.  There was no bridesmaid or groomsman, 
and the wedding party consisted of a few of the close friends of the 
contracting parties and the immediate relatives.  The house decorations 
of palms and ferns and flowers were tastefully arranged and appropriate 
for the occasion. 
  After an enjoyable wedding reception, during which a substantial 
supper was served, Mr. and Mrs. Howe were driven to the station, where 
they departed on the 10.40 train for a wedding trip to the east that 
will include a visit to Philadelphia, Atlantic City, Baltimore and 
Washington.  On or about July 15 they will go to housekeeping in their 
new home on Tenth street near Sixteenth avenue.
