in. jliliiii6ry Last evening St. John's Episcopal church was adorned with lovely flowers and waving palms, in honor of the marriage of Mac Harold Jolley and Mary Theo Keiser the first pair to plight their troth within its sacred walls. It wa3 eminently fitting that the first bride should be one who has been so closely identified with the work of the church. At the appointed time the organ announced the coming of the bridal party, and every eye was turned to the interesting procession moving slowly up the aisle.

First came the groomsmen, Chas. W. Thompson and Henry Gilbert, followed by the groom walking alone, then the lovely bridesmaids, Miss Allie Como and Miss Edith Pat-ton, preceded the bride, who also walked alone, looking beautiful in her bridal robes, recalling the words of the poet' 'divinely tall and most divinely fair." At the altar they were met by the Rector Rev. W. D.

Christian, who pronounced the impiessivo service of the church, beneath a handsome lloral marriage bell. The bride was given away by her mother, Mrs. Ellen Keiser. At the conclusion of the ceremony many fond hearts responded Amen to the closing words of the blessing "that ye may so live together in this life, that in the world to come ye may have, life everlasting." Then the couple who had come singly into the church, went out together arm-in-arm, out into a new and untried world, followed by the best wishes of friends that they may find that "Domestic happiness, the only bliss of Paradise, that has survived the fall."
