WEISER - STEVENS.

  The Tribune's Bellwood correspondent sends the following:
  The cosy home of R. B. Stevens and wife was the scene of one of the 
prettiest home weddings of the season last evening at 6.30 o'clock.  
More than fifty invited guests had assembled to witness the ceremony 
which united the destinies of Miss Grace Stevens, eldest daughter of 
the home, and Robert E. Weiser, one of the popular young men of the 
town.  The house had been trimmed throughout, the lower story being 
really transformed by the floral beauty.  The bridal party passed 
beneath a wedding bell of smilax and white carnations and took their 
places in front of the mantel.  Miss Clara Lauver skillfully drew from 
the piano the strains of the wedding march as the couple entered the 
parlor.  They were attended by the bride's tiny sister, Katherine, who 
carried her bouquet.  The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. K. Lloyd, 
of Martinsburg, a friend of the bride's childhood days.  The bride was 
attired in white French muslin and looked very sweet in the bloom of 
her youthful beauty.  The groom, of course, looked very happy.  After 
the ceremony and congratulations of the friends, the bridal party were 
seated at the table which had been trimmed for their use.  Meanwhile 
the serenades occurred in the usual order - small boys, Zimmerman's 
calithumpians and the Bellwood band.
  The wedding collation was elegant, and a pleasant social evening was 
spent until the bride reappeared in her traveling suit of blue 
broadcloth.  Then the scene of interest was the railroad station where 
everybody who could get there was there to see the party take their 
departure on Philadelphia express.  Their destination is the home of 
the groom's parents near Lewistown, where they will spend their 
honeymoon, returning in about ten days.  They will be at home at the 
bride's home until spring.  The tokens of esteem from the friends were 
both useful and ornamental and the bride will long have substantial 
reason to remember her wedding day.
  The groom is an employe of the Pennsylvania and Northwestern Railroad 
company and the bride is well qualified to be a helpmeet in the true 
sense of the word.  The good wishes that follow them are as numerous as 
the grains of rice that were in the shower that followed.
