The marriage of Miss Mary,Emily 3rown, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. V. Brown, \o Riehard P. Howell of Butte, Mont., took place Tuesday afternoon, August 29, at 5:30 o’clock at the Methodist Episcopal church. Miss Anne Jtector of Great Falls, Mont., was maid of honor. Ellen Kresler and Jane Myer were flower girls. Little Beulah Brown, sister of the bride, was ring bearer. The bridesmaids were Miss Edith Thompson of Lafayette, Miss Louise Trull of Chicago and Miss Maurine Tuteur and Miss Marguerite Brown. George Vivian of Butte, Mont., served Mr. Howell as best man. The ustaffs were Emmet Hollingsworth, Edward Honan, Cope Hanley and Emmet Laßue. At the appointed hour, Mrs. Albert R. Hopkins, aunt of the bride, as organist, played a beautiful “Wedding Prelude” by Renaud. Following this Mrs. Loren Sage in a most charming manner, accompanied by Miss Ruth "Wood, violin obligato, rendered several songs: “Sacrament” by McDermit, “At Dawning” by Cadman, andr ‘•’Love’s Coronation” by Halyard. > f v The marriage was heralded by eight young ladies, Mrs. Sage, Miss Padgitt, Miss Leonard, Miss Halleck, Miss Watson, Mrs. George Hopkins, Mrs. B. Forsythe and Miss Wood, entering the church from the east room with stately step and singing the “Bridal Chorus” by Cowen. As they took their respective places the organ softly pealed out that most most beautiful inspiration, “Mendelssohn’s Wedding March,’’ and the bridal party moved gracefully down the aisle to the altar. As the bride appeared on the arm of her father the music drifted into the “Bridal Chorus” from Lohengrin. Dr. Paul C. Curnick read the impressive ring service which joined these two young lives, speaking with characteristic dignity, gentleness and affection, and over the entire bridal assemblage &ole the tender strains of “Oh! That We Two Were Maying,” by Nevin. A pretty feature of the service was the reciting of “The Lord’s Prayer” by the bridal party. The bridesmiads were gowned in yellow silk, with arm bouquets of yellow roses. The little flower girls were in white. The ring .hearer in yellow. The maid of honor in yellow with blue .over-dress. The bride was gowned in white satin and lace with veil. She carried a shower bouquet of bride roses and lilies of the valley. The church was attractively decorated with sprays of asparagus and baskets of golden rod, making a soft and effective background for the youthful, happy faces of the bridal party. Miss Brown is well known and beloved by Rensselaer people, having lived here for a number of years. She graduated from Rensselaer high school in 1913, later attending college in Montana. All possible good wishes go with the couple.
