Mills, announced to the guests gathered in the spacious living room, the approach of the bridal party. From the west room led by little Dorothy Williams tenderly carrying a calla lily in the heart of which lay hidden the wedding ring, and the flower maid, little Mayme Mundy strewing fragrant petals and blossoms, came the bride in all her loveliness and sweet simplicity, leaning on the arm of her father and attended by her sister, Miss Gertrude.

Banked with large palms and ferns and prettily screened with festoons of white satin ribbons and ropes of smilax was the improvised altar of pure white, strewn with the smilax, a veritable altar of green and white from which was read the solemn service, while over the heads of the bride and groom hung a white wedding bell covered with smilax. The entrance to the dining room, where red was the prevailing color, was hung with cupids, hearts and bells. The center piece of the beautifully arranged table was a large bouquet of red carnations surrounded by smilax while above, pendant from the ceiling hung a red wedding bell from which festoons of hearts of different sizes reached each corner of the room. Starting from the same center red satin ribbon dropped gracefully to each corner of the table ending in loops which fell almost to the floor. A large table in the music room was laden with gifts of silver, cut glass, hand painted China, water color pictures, linen and substantial bank checks evidence of the regard in which these young people are held, not measures of love and esteem but tokens of the same. The bride is one of McCook's charming daughters, beloved and esteemed by all who know her for her mental qualities and attainments, her earnestness of purpose, modest demeanor and all those qualities that go to make perfect womanhood. Her dark beauty was never more apparent than when she appeared before the altar to plight her troth to the man of her choice. She was dressed in a Persian lawn exquisitely sheer, trimmed with embroidery and valenceinnest lace, beautiful in its elegant simplicity. She wore no jewelry and in place of the usual bouquet carried a white and gold prayer book. The groom has lived in McCook the past five years, well known and highly esteemed by all a young man of sterling qualities and exemplary habits.
