UNDER FERNS AND MARGUERITES

Herbert C. Gore and Miss Milla Taylor Made One

Beautiful Home Wedding––Happy Couple Will Make Their Home In Washington

One of the prettiest wedding of the season took place Tuesday evening at the home of Mrs. Martha Taylor, of Church street, when her daughter, Ida Pamela, was united in marriage to Herbert Charles Gore.

At half past seven the bridal party led by the bridesmaid, Miss Nellie Wood, cousin of the bride, took their places in the back parlor. The bride leaning on the arm of her brother Edward Taylor, came down the stair which was beautifully festooned with trailing wood-bine. Under an arch of ferns and marguerites the groom was awaiting her. While the bridal party was being formed Miss Wood of Ypsilanti, accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Townsend of Washington, sister of the bride, sand Handel's exquisite bridal hymn, "Where Ere You Walk."Beneath a beautiful bouquet of marguerites and ferns tied with white ribbon, Rev. C. S. Patton of the Congregational church performed the marriage ceremony.

The bride looked unusually lovely in her gown of white silk lawn. In her hand she carried a bouquet of white sweet peas and maiden hair ferns. Miss Wood, the bridesmaid was also gowned in white and carried maiden hair ferns and pink sweet peas.

A dainty lunch was served in the dining room which was decorated in ferns and clovers. The table decorations were particularly beautiful and original. Heads of pink clovers were strung and arranged in figures upon the table. On one side the initial of the bride and on the other that of the groom were formed with clovers.

Only the relatives of the bride and groom and the closest friends of the bride were present. Among them were Mr. and Mrs. Gore of Chicago, parent of the groom.

Amid a shower of rice and the singing of the bridal chorus the happy couple took the 9:30 train for an eastern trip. They will make their future home in Washington, D. C.
