  When Cupid rubs his eyes at 6:30 in the morning and arises with an 
expectant air, and every indication of haste, one may be assured that 
something unusual is going to happen in the matrimonial world.  Perhaps 
the busy season suggested to the Misses Mary Jane and Elizabeth Anna 
Reed, the young daughters of Mr. and Mrs. William Reed, of Penbrook, 
the pretty idea of the early morning double wedding which took place at 
their home, 2743 Penn street, at 6:30 o'clock this morning, when Mary 
Jane and John L. Snell, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. John L. Snell, 21 
Linden street, and Elizabeth Anna and Harry Arthur Noll, son of Mr. and 
Mrs. Noll, of Steelton, were married.  The Rev. H. M. Miller, pastor of 
the United Brethren Church, officiated.
  The house was arranged with quantities of garden flowers and greens, 
forming an attractive setting for the pretty ceremony, and little Miss 
Mildred Reed, the 10-year-old sister of the brides, played the wedding 
march.
  Both the brides looked charming in dainty gowns of white voile, the 
skirts being tucked in the prevailing style.  The bodice of Miss Mary 
Jane's gown was trimmed with oriental lace while Miss Elizabeth Anna's 
was trimmed with a sheer lace with tassles of lace and a satin girdle.  
They wore large hats of white georgette crepe and corsage bouquets of 
white roses.  Black velvet scarfs added to the artistic effect.
  Only the immediate families witnessed the ceremony, after which the 
young couples left for their uncle's home in Annville, where they will 
spend their honeymoon.
  On their return, Mr. and Mrs. Noll will reside with Mr. Noll's 
parents in Steelton, where he is in the employ of the Pennsylvania 
Steel Co.
  Mr. and Mrs. Snell will live in Harrisburg.  Mr. Snell is connected 
with the Pennsylvania Railroad.
