PERKINS & SHELDON CO.
A Lyric Wedding.
Married, on Wednesday, September
the fifth, at the home ot the bride's
aunt, Mrs. A. M. Davie, Miss Margaret
Ella Gaylord of this city, to Mr. Henry
Weld Newton of Buffalo, New York.
The ceremony was performad at seven
o'clock in the evening. Mrs. Newton
is one of the very few young women in
Liucoln who has won musical distinc
tion abroad. She possesses a tuneful,
melodious voice, a gentle, naif manner,
and exceeding simplicity of style. She
sings with the unconsciousness of a
bird, that is, her art conceals itself, and
voice and manner and style are excep
tionally pleasing. She was soloist for
two years in Doctor Lymac Abbott's
church in Brooklyn. She was attended
like the brides of ancient Greece by a
chorus of men and maidens who sang
Cowen's "Rose Maiden" as the wedding
procession started, and softly sang "The
Lohengrin March'' during the ceremony.
Two hundred guests congratulated Mr.
and Mrs. Newton. The spacious draw
ing room was in green and white and
the ensemble effect in the specious
rooms was very light and airy. Cob
webby lace was draped over doorways and
window openirgs. The wedding party
stood under a canopy of lace, smilax
end asparagus fronds in one corner of
the drawing room. A white rug under
the canopy and white roses here and
there completed the harmony of the
arrangement. Sarah Ladd and Cecilia
Ward in pink frocks made way for the
bride and retinue by making a lane of
white ribbons from the doorway to the
canopy. Delia Hoover, the little flower
girl, in white, scattered flowers just be
fore the bride who walked alone and
was followed by Norman Curtice, the
page of the ring. The bride's gown was
ot white crepe de chine, en train. The
skirt made with wide vertical tucks.
The bodice was draped with Duchesse
lace of exquisite pattern and rarity.
Her veil was of tulle fastened to her
hair by a blazing jewel. The groom
met her at the canopy, supported by
the Reverend Henry T. Davie, presiding
elder of the Lincoln district. After the
ceremony Mis3 Hoover played the
Mendelsohn march with spirit and that
fervor and unction which distinguish
Miss Hoover's numbers. The octette
which contributed the undercurrent of
muBic to the service and its stirring
voluntary was composed of Mrs. V. O.
Strickler of Omaha, Miss Maude Oak
ley, Mrs. A. S. Raymond, Mrs. E. Lewis
Baker, and Messrs. Thatcher, Myer,
Martin and Kettering. After the cere
mony and the beginning of congratula
tions Mrs. Newton exchanged her big
bride's bouquet for a point lace fan
with pearl sticks which the groom's
mother had carried at her wedding.
Punch, bride's cake and f:uit cake
were served in the dining room,
metamorphosed into a bower ot green
and yellow with ferns and golden-rod,
by Miss Lunette Keith of Chicago. Ice
cream and wedding cake were passed to
the guest6 by Mrs. Nellie M. Richard
son, Miss Florence Richardson, Miss
Kyle, Mrs. May Shockey, Mrs. Wallace
Crandall, Mrs. Phil Sommerlad, Mies
Nellie Gaylord and Miss Jessie Lansing.
After Borne of the guests were gone the
bride Bat down at the piano and sang
them eongs full of happiness with a
soupcon of tears for the leave-taking.
The songs were, Du bist Wie eine
Blume and Marquis Bergais and a love
song by Riddle.
The out of town guests were: Mr.
and Mrs. Charles A. Keith of Chicago,
Mr. and Mrs. V. O. Strickler of Omaha,
aDd Mr. John Stafford of St. Louis.
Mr. and Mrs. Newton went immediately
to Buffalo, where they will be at home
after November first at 331 Bryant
street.
The Courier reporter who isited the
Davis homestead, on the morning of
September six found the maid sweep
ping into one huge heap just one
bushel of rice.
LaBt Friday evening the farewell re
ception tendered Mrs. Frances Ford by
the Omaha Woman's club was a large
and brilliant affair. The club rooms
were lavishly decorated with palms and
flowers. The officers of the club, Mrs.
George Tilden, president; Mrs. Mac
Murphy and Mrs. Dumont, vice presi
dents; Mrs. Anna Herring, secretary;
and Miss Ethelwynue Kennedy, to
gether with Mesdames Ford, Harford,
Towne and Draper Smith, received the
many guests. In the dining room
where ices were served throughout the
evening Mrs. Horace Burt and Miss
Millard presided and were assisted by
Meedames Longfeldt, Wyman, Barlow,
Bryson, Ure, Jeffries, Johannes, MisEes
Stone, Livesey, Scott, Bennett, Du
mont, Alexander, Baird and Harford.
Mrs. Ford's departure from the city is
a source of regret to her many friends,
for she has been largely instrumental in
building up the Woman's club, and
Miss Ethelwynne Kennedy, recording
secretary together with Mesdames Ford,
Harford, Towne and Draper Smith',
received the club. Mrs. Frances Bae
tenshas taken Mrs. Ford's place as
leader of the musical department.
The City Improvement Association
met on Thursday morning in the library
of the Union-Commercial club. The
ladies completed arrangements for the
dance on the green to be given in the
City Park on Monday evening. Unless
it rains the Iadie3 will serve ices and a
company of nine colored men has been
engaged to sing. The harvest moon is
supposed to be shining and there is
every reason to believe that the crowd
will be as large and as expansively
pleased as on that occasion a few weeks
ago, when the ladies of the City Im
provement society, with the assistance
of Mr. Bryan and Mayor Winnett, open
ed the park for the season of 1900. A
few dancing men have been asked to
take charge of the dancing. The
dances are to be old fashioned, country
dances, aBd the songs are of the Old
Black Joe and Suanee Ribter character
Every one is invited, and about the
dancing, there is to be no hanging back.
The same spirit should animate the
guests as that which makes charity
balls so great a success. It is a good
thing for the people of a town to get out
of cliques and disavow them occasioaaly
for the sake of town feeling.
