  A very pretty military wedding took place at the home of Mrs. Ellen 
C. Thompson, 437 South Fourteenth street, Saturday evening, when Miss 
Iva Marie Thompson became the wife of Sergeant Richard Brown Maxwell, 
the Rev. Dr. Clayton Albert Smucker officiating.
  The bride's trainless gown was made fashionably short, of taupe satin 
enveloped in clouds of silk tulle with bodice of satin folds in high 
girdle effect.  She carried a shower bouquet of orchids.  Miss Ellen 
Thompson, sister of the bride, was maid of honor and Vance Henry Wolfe 
was best man.
  Sergeant Maxwell is located at Camp A. A. Humphreys, Virginia.  He is 
connected with the base hospital.  More than a year ago he enlisted in 
the U. S. Army.  He is the son of Mrs. S. E. Maxwell, Washington, D. C. 
  Only relatives and close friends were the guests at the ceremony and 
reception which followed.  The newly married couple left for a short 
wedding journey through the South.  After the war they will take up 
their residence in Harrisburg.
