A NOTABLE NUPTUAL.

Leopold—Mossier. i . __ About two hundred invited guests met at the Nowels House Wednesday evening at 6 o’clock, to celebrate the ; wedding of Miss Ray Leopold to Mr. ; Will Mossier. The parlors of the hotel were handsomely decorated and perfumed by countless plants and cut flowers, a large number of them forming and surrounding a temporary altar. Ohlsen’s band, of Lafayette were stationed in one of the halls and furnished exquisite music throughout the evening, striking up just as the bridal party entered the room. The bridal procession entered passing through a line of ushers to the music of a wedding"march, the bridel and groom taking their positions under a large floral hell, directly before the altar upon which the Rabbi had placed two lighted . candles, attendants passing to either side; in the hush that fell upon the great throng the words of the impressive Jewish marriage ceremony, pronounced by Rabbi J. Caddcn, of Lafayette, were distinctly heard and solemnly felt by all present as were the low hut heartfelt responses of the young pair thus pledging their lives to each other. The cermony over and the ring placed in position by the youthful groom, the solemnity vanished and the heartiest congratulations followed; the example being set by the joyous groom who it seemed, could not manifest half the joy he felt. The re-

mainder of the evening was spent in feasting, toasting, laughing and dancing, amid the sound of merry voices and the exhilerating strains of music. The tables were laid with great care and taste, the menu was all that an epicure could desire. While the toasts and responses were especially happy and apt. Many of the costumes worn by the ladies were exceedingly beautiful. Miss Leopold was an ideal bride, being dressed in white faille silk, en-train and decollete, the neck and shoulders being composed almost entirely of Irish point lace, while a single diamond pendant from a velvet bUlid around the throat, was all the jewelry worn. A long tulle vail to the edge of the train, long kid gloves, and a boquet of Marchel Neil roses completed the outfit. The bride’s maids were also attired in white trained dresses.

There were countless other 1 costumes fully deserving of mention j hut space forbids further description. The bride was the recipient of a ; vast number of beautiful and valuable presents. in this particular in fact, it is probably that no Rensselaer bride wae ever so greatly favored. , Guests were present from abroad, in great numbers, among them and not mentioned above, being Rev.

The bridal couple took the 11 p. m. train £pr Louisville, the same evening, thence, after a short stay,to Thorntown, and are now preparing for housekeeping at Kentland, where the groom is located in mercantile business.

At the residence of the bride’s parents in Ransselaer, Thursday evening April 17th, 1890; Rev. U. M. Me Guire officiating; Mr. Charles Morlan and Miss Estella L. Burnham. No cards. The wedding was to have been a quiet affair, only the two families immediately concerned being present; but friends out side of the families remembered them in the way of several choice presents. The small boys were on hand with a proposition, made and kept in a manly way, that if the groom would, “wliaekrUp" suitably to the occasion they would forego their peculiar entertainment. The - whack-up” was satis factory adjusted and the juvenile propensity for noise was promptly suppressed, not a squeak or groan escaping from their instruments of torture. The Rensselaer Band, of which the groom was a member, preeeded by its gift, a beautiful upholstered, antique oak. rustic built, swinging rocking chair, appeared on the scene and after the rendition of several of their choice selections of music, presented congratulations and good wishes and partook of the good cheer provided for the occasion. The house being full, sympathizing friends collected

out-side “and all went merry as a marriage bell ;” except that Mrs. B. was a little worried that the two young gentlemen, self invited guests, in the detached kitchen, only got one kind of cake for their girls.
