HOME WEDDING
Many happy guests assembled on Thursday of last week at the comfortable 
country home of Mrs. Edith McELWAIN, near New Park to witness the nuptials of 
her daughter Olive May to William B. KEARNS, of Stewartstown. The large circle 
of relatives and friends filled the spacious rooms, tinted in a color scheme 
of pink and green when, at one o'clock, the bridal party entered to the 
strains of Lohengrin's march, as played by Miss. Edna McELWAIN, who also 
played "hearts and Flowers." during the congratulations. She entered the room, 
escorted by her cousin Harry McELWAIN, and following these came the two 
bridesmaids, Miss Cora McELWAIN, a sister of the bride and Miss Ethel ARCHER. 
     These were daintily costumed in pink nuns-veiling trimmed with chenille 
and silk messaline. and carrying pink carnations. Upon the arm of the groom 
came the bride happily gowned in white Lanstowne trimmed with silk fringe and 
satin roses and carrying white roses. The former pastor of the bride, Rev. F. 
B. Everitt, of Allentown, Pa., then performed the ceremony that made the happy 
couple one, and many and sincere were the congratulations poured upon them. 
For the bride is one of the most popular young ladies of that vicinity and has 
made hosts of friends by her winsome way and her great usefulness in Centre 
church, when she has been a leader in many of the church 
activities. Many handsome gifts were received and a bountiful collation 
served, when the bridal pair left on a short honeymoon north. Upon the return 
of which, they will later take the farm formerly owned by Mr. Edward LIGGIT 
The bride's traveling costume was a tailored suit of navy blue serge.
