(. Mec- Koon, corner of Grange and Kip streets, on the occasion of their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. Fully 250 invitations wero ex d, but many wero unable to accept on junt of the provalence of la grippe. Not- hstanding this the rooms wore tarongod with guests and scores of lotters of regret and congratulations wero received, many of them coming from Omaha, the former home of Mr. and Mrs, McKoon. The rooms were handsomely decorated, the parlors hung with smilax, ferns and graceful pepper boughs studded with white roses, The cozy littie study at the right of the hall was a charming nook with its ar- tistic decorations in yellow. & network of smilax falling like a veil over the window draperies, The dining room was briliiant with scarlet blossoms ina setting of groen. Mr. and Mrs, McKoon were assisted in re- ceiving by Mr. and Mrs. S. Hawyer, old Omaha_friends, Mr, and Mrs, . For- rester, Mr, and Mrs, Sweet and Mr, and Mrs, L. A. Ross. The bride of twenty-five years, on whose bright face time has lingered lightly, wore an elezant ovening dress of dull biue, en traine, with meshes of soft lace about the trhoat. During the evening the busy hum of con- versation was hushed long enongh to listen to & fino piano solo by Mrs. Hillman, & song by Mrs. H. L. Hawyer, whose glorious voice filled the house with melody, and a duet beautifully sung by Mmes. J. H. Book and W.H Bea .. Rev. R. S. Cantine, for five years the pastor of the host and _hostess, was present and made one of his characteristic speeches full of pleasantry, at times eliciting peals of laughter from the guests as ho referrod to the rhyming tondencigs of the groom, etc. Turning at length from this lighter vein, in a fow earnast words ho expressed on behalf of himself and the company gatheved tne high esteem in which Mr. and Mrs. McKoon are held. He concluded his remarks by uniting agan in marriage the couple who for twenty- fivoyears have lived together in harmony, cing some extraordinary propositions decidedly fn favor of the bride, who choer- fully assented, but which met with mute re- monstrance from the groom, who'shook his head rather doudtfully. In a side rootn wevs displayed the presents comprising a quantity of elegant silver nut baskets, fruit knives, card cases, napkin rings. vases, and everything in the way of useful and beautiful ware, Many gifts waro from Omaba friends. A beautiful collection of Hawaiian Island ferns in a silver frame, gathered and pressed by a friend in Honolu- lu, and a picce of linen woven eighty-four years ago and etched by an aunt of the host 8BS years old, wore valued gifts, Refreshments were served from a hand- somely laid table in the diningroom to the guests who were seated about the room, a cotorie of pretty young girls, friends of Mr. and Mrs. McKoon, deftly serving the dlica- cies, all of which were prepared under the personal supervision of the hostess. The bride's cake was ornamented by a iadder, on one round of which was inscribed in sil- veored lettors, “25 years,” and everyono echoed the wish that life's ladder might lengthen to the round above whereon should shine in gilded type the fifty years of the zolden wedding day Among those p: H.

At 7:3) the bridal party entered the south pavior, Mr. Cowie with his best man, Mr. W, D. Townsend, followed by tho bri leauing on the arm of her father. The beautifvl and 1mpressive marringe cere- mony of the Episcopal church was performea by Rev. Mr, Lloyd, rector of the Church of the Good Shopherd, after which the con- gratulations of tho ussembly wero showoered upon the newly wedded couple. The bride, who 1s a handsome brunotte, was gowned in a graceful and dainty costume of Nile greon silk crape with ostrich feather trimming and diamonds, and carried a cluster of bride's voses carolessly tied with white cibbons, At 8:3) the party repaired to the dining room, where a aelightful wodding supper was served. The long tables were pret- tily ornamented with maiden hair fernss and roses, and at the head stood a huge bride’s calko, its snowy white- ness gloaming amid sprays of smilax and hyacinths, At the plate of each guest lay a toothsome souvenir daiutily wrapped and tied with tiny white ribbons, which, accord- ingto a long establighea superstitiou, un- doubtedly settled the fate of more than one fair maiden preseut. Auother superstition was recalled when the bride, standing at tho heud of the staircass, tosscd her bouguet to the group below, the tell-tale roses being caught by Miss Seppie Standish.
