formed at the home of the bride's
mother, Mrs. Ban Wood, by Dr. Felix
Hill of Kansas City, a life long friend of
the groom. The bride descended the
stairs unattended, to the strains of the
Lohengrin wedding music, played on the
violin and piano by Misses Silence Dales
And Ethal Syphord. The groom met
the bride at the foot of the stairway and
together they entered the parlor, which
was luxuriantly decorated with palms
and American beauties. The impressive
ring service of the Methodist Episcopal
church was used. Miss Wood was
charming in a robe of pearl white taffeta
entrain and elaborately apqliqued with
ruches of mousseline de soie. The vei'
was caught in her hair with a diamond
sunburst, the gift of the groom. Mr.
Spofford also presented his bride with
his mother's watch, which was his fath
er's gift to her on their wedding day. It
is beautifully enameled and set with
diamonds. Other gifts from the groom
to the bride are a magnificent parlor
grand Checkering piano of solid mahog
any, with a Vernier-Martin finish, ex
quisitely decoiated Over the extensive
covering the designs are of roses and
the scenes of a lover's quarrel in eight
pictures encircle the case of the instru

roses tied with blue ribbons. Three
other pieces of furniture accompany
