At 9 o'clock Miss Osborne, of Salina, began playing Mendelssohn's wedding march and the bride leaning on the arm of her brother, Mr. Clyde Allen, and attended by the two bridesmaids, her cousin Miss Pearl Allen of Abilene and Miss Ada Thomas of Beloit, passed slowly down the aisle of the church to the altar where they were met by the groom, attended by his brother, Mr.

David Blair. The wedding march was changed to "Annie Laurie," which was played while the ceremony was being performed by the bride's father, assisted by Rev. J. N. Rankin, of the Presbyterian church.

The bride wore a veil and was dressed in white organdy tucked and trimmed with lace and carried a boquet of roses. The bridesmaids were also dressed in white organdy. After the ceremony the wedding went to the home of the bride's parents where the wedding breakfast was served. Rev. and Mrs.

Blair left at noon over the Union Pacific for New York, where they will meet with the board of missions of the Presbyterian church.
