A veritable garden of springtime bloom seemed the beauti ful home of Mr., and Mrs. Albert .Prank on Webster street this evening, when their daughter. Miss Madeline Frank, becarrJe the bride of Ervme .lolin Rrandeis of Omaha. Nevrr has tlic.re been a prettier setting for a wedding than this flower-decked drawing room, where every variety of delicate bloom the season has lo oiler were combined in an exceptionally graceful effect. Altar of Wonders. Ail improvised altar on a raised plat.form was covered with a magnifi cent cloth of gold brocade, and wa adorned w ith massive gold candelabra ''At either side gold urns were filled with Russell roses, azalea.-, in the pink and deeper tone, lilies of the valtev and hyacinths of many shades, their delicate colors blcndirrg exquisitely. A tall marble pedestal stood at each side of the altar and this was topped w ith an urn similar to those that deco rated the altars, and repeated the same riot of bloom. Threughout the room huge baskets and urns were filled to overflowing with daffodils, tresias, lilies of the valley, roses of many varieties, and the azalea, fa vorite of the season, the delicate beauty of the flowers brought out by combination with fernery. Hall Heightens Effect. , The hall was abloom w ith flowering manzanita, . that dainty rosc-toned blossom thatjabounds in the hills about San Francisco bay in the early spring, and that, even more than the masses of bloom-in the drawing room, gave the house the effect of the out of doors. Through the'other rooms of the beautiful residence a scheme sim ilar to that of the drawing room was noted, even tbe tables at which sup per was served having been decorates with this same collection of exquisite (lowers.

The bride's table contained five bowls of Russell roses, azaleas, lilies of the valley and hyacinths intertwined with graceful garlands of dainty pink heather. . Bride Was Beautiful.

One of the prettiest girls of San Fraircisco's younger act, net uaiuiy luiurjtig- anu graceful figure never were seen to better advantage as in her gown of white duchess satin. She is of the type that combines with fair skin brown hair and -the clearest of gray eyes, and her slenderness lent itself well to the graceful lines of her beau- tiful gown. It was a Callot model of white duchess satin draped" with Cal lot net and trimmed with point ap plique lace over silver lace. It was fashioned along the new princess lines, with its tulle overdress lace held in place by a sash girdle of pearls which tied in front, tlie ends finishing in long tassells of pearls. The skirt was in the modish round length and the court train of satin extended from the shoulders, where it was finished in scarf effect, and was exceptionally long. Point applique lace adorned the waist, through which the silver pattern of the under lace showed, giv ing an effect of much richness. Wears a Double Veil. I Miss Frank's wedding veil was a notable feature of her costume. In stocad of confining herself to only one veil, as with the majority of brides, she wore two, the first of tulle and the second of exquisite lace, the lat ter draped over only one side of the tulle and falling low on the long court train. A wreath of orange blossoms 4icld the veils to the coiffure and there were also sprays of these blooms to catch the lace veil to the train. Her bouquet was also as novel as it was lovely, the exquisite shower of white orchids having been held in a ('ntitlnuH tin Paire Two, Column Tbrra.)

It dreW splen did audiences throughout last week, being presented six nights and two matinees. It is a play without a name, a play whose scenes are laid in Nebraska in pioneer days, two of the acts taking place at the farm home of Grandma Allingham, near Alliance. Neb., and the other at a convent school for girls. Sister Mary Angela has written a play whose keynote is purity 'and high ideals. If it is didactic at times, this does not detract from the continuity of the plot. And the play . demon strated the fact that audiences can be swayed by characters whose ideals arc always high and whose purposes are noble without "any intruding black-moustached villain. For there is no real villain in this play. The characters arc all good people, from noble-minded Grandma SNOW BLOCKADE ON UNION PACIFIC RAP1AD ENDED A vcen Rock River and WrnTninff fTl.ofl.rpf3 V J0' ' ' And Movement of Trains Begun, Is Report. .

Allingham and Sister Ambrose dowi even to Dinah, the darkey servant on the farm. The play strikes against the evil of divorce. In the second act a dramatic situation is raised when the mortgage on the convent school is about to, be foreclosed, a calamity that is avoided after the proper amount'of dramatic suspense. , The play written by this Omaha sister is filled with wholesome truths of man's duty to man and to God. It teaches obedience to the "still small voice," the beauties of self-sacrifice for the good of others and the evils resulting from yielding to tempta tions. And all these truths are presented in the body of the interest ing story. Thus the lessons are taught while the audience is absorbed in the play. A play that is free from "sex" prob lems and kindred modern muck is pleasing for that reason, too. Liberal applause showed it met approval of the audience. f ONION PACIFIC TO SPENDAFORTUNE Twenty-Tbrec-Million for Roll ing Stock and Improvements D.uring Present Year.

Women Lead Life of Shame Because They Prefer It Former Police Judge Foster, speak ing before the Omaha Philosophical society on the "Problem of Municipal Vice and Crime," said that "women lead a life of shame because they want to, not because of any outside in fluence." In all the years that he had been on the police bench he said, no woman had ever asked for a job to better her condition. "They all pre ferred a life of shame to respectable work." - The main cause of crime, ' the speaker said was laziness. People wanted to make "easy money" with out working for it.

TALE ON SPIRIT OF GOD Rev. Oliver Keve. at Walput Hill Methodist church yesterday morning preached from a dual text, "Quench not the spirit" and "Be filled with the spirit," these being the words of St. Paul to the Thessalonians and the bphesians, respectively. "Most important in a church," said Rev. Mr. Keve, "is the presence of the spirit of God. This is more important than a fine building or fancy music or a big income.

Victory Life. ' t' "A movement was started recently to teach more people the 'uictory life.' It is directed particularly to ward people who are nominally good Christians but who are not feeling the full blessing the calm and peace 'that passeth understanding. "Most Christians trust God for the lofty, ideal things of life." In time of bereavement or great trial thiy fly to Him for comfort. But too few realize that He is ready to help them in the everyday things. "When they realize this and just lose themselves in His love, they are 'filled with the spirit.' And when they are 'filled with the spirit' they are filled with happiness and peace that are incomprehensible to other people. "They arc blessed themselves and they are a blessing to otpers, for the spirit that is in them spreads its radiance all about them in a multi tude of kind deeds and words." I Wipe Out Debt. Yesterday was a big day at Wal nut Hill church. A debt that has hunir over the church for several I years was attacked ami practically wiped out. It was $.vW. eVularly laid aside and added to one another. "If you put aside 50 cejits every week day and $1 every Sunday from now until August I the amount wilt be $100," he said.
