I = = - e HE wedding of Miss Therese Mor- gan, daughter of Willlam P. Mor- | gan, and Norris Davis was cele- | brated last night at the beautiful | home of the bride with all the ac- | | cessories that wealth and good taste could devise. ! The lower floor of the home had been | wrought into a bower of beauty; blossoms | | and ferns, the richest gifts of nature, had | | been gathered here to make | ery nook. glad the | happy hour when the twain were made | one. The reception hall became a wildwood glen under the hands of the decorators, the waving woodwardia rising from ev- Banks of* American Beauty roses filled the recess by the staircase, giving forth a delicious touch of autumnal warmth. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Dr. Clampett in the reception room, where an altar had been reared draped in snowy lace and bearing candles and pure white blossoms—a fitting shrine at which to give the lifelong promise. Here kneel- ing upon white satin cushions the young folks plighted their troth. The simple service over, the guests— about 150—were received by the bridal pair and a merry hour ensued The drawing-room was a symphony in | the colors beloved of nature—green and white. Again the woodwardia lent its beauty, phalanxed by forests of feathery ferns, white chrysanthemums and be- gonlas, -with here and there a cloud of filmy tulle. The dining-room bore the ripening riches of autumn; overhead grapevines bearing their purple fruit stretched from wall to wall, pomegran- ates grew in profusion, and even boughs of lemon trees lent their yellow fruit to grace the hour. The tables were simply adorned with maidenhair and white can- delabra, the distinctive feature at the bride’s place being a shower of tiny sflver bells rising like a spray of lilies of the valley, which in truth they very much resembled. The billiard room was pressed into ser- vice for supper tables, and here the moth- er of the bride presided; pink gladiolas, pink tulle and pink shades produced a charming effect in the improvised dining hall, where the older folks made merry. The bride, who is a girl of striking beauty and style, fulfilled every tradi- tion of bridal beauty in her robe of lace, with its court train of glistening satin. In her arms she bore St. Joseph lilies. She was attended by her sister, Miss Ella Morgan, who looked not less lovely than the bride, attired in a filmy gown of white chiffon, and carrying a rare bunch of orchids. Then came the maids, Miss Genevieve King, Miss Ruth McNutt, Miss Mary Josselyn and Miss Helen Dean, all gowned in white chiffon over green and bearing huge bunches of tiger lilles. The mother of the bride was attired in a beautiful court gown of black satin moire. A description of the guests’ gowns would read like a fashion journal, for it is seldom so many elegantly gowned matrons and dainty dressed maidens are seen at a private function. The young people will, on their return from their wedding trip, set up their household gods in this city, in @ home already prepared for them. In the nup- tlals of last night a romance begun in the dim days of childhood had a fitting culmination. R The wedding of Miss Gertrude Sullivan, the beautiful daughter of Judge and Mrs. J.

Owing to the sudden illness of Signor Giuseppe Zanini, the part of Marcel, the painter, in “La Boheme” was sung by Signor Domenico Borghese at the Tivoli Theater last evening. Signor Borghese took the part with but three hours’ notice, and naturally with such a short time in which to rehearse the part he was somewhat uncertain of his lines, but prompted by Signor Giu-| seppe Agostini, who sang the part of Rudolpho, he went tlarough without a pause, Those who attended the Tivoli opera season of 1%1 doubtless remember Sig- norina Repetto, the clever and brilliant | little singer who created such a sensa- tion in the role of Muzette in “La Bo- heme,” and will be sorry to learn of her death in South Africa last Tuesday. —e———————— A cheap way to prepare a full meal | for six persons is to cook by gas.
