As beautiful as a midsummer wed
ding could be and elaborate enough
to satisfy the most fastidious was
that solemnized at the Methodist
church last evening. The parties
were Miss Lucile youngest daughter
of Dr. and Mrs. B. F. Fortner and
Mr. Ewing Halsell son of W. E. Hal-
sell well known throughout the
whole southwest. The church was
beautifully decorated with green and
flowering plants smilax ferns carna-
tions nasturtiums palms and two
beautiful hydrangeas being employed
with excellent effect. A portier at
asparagus partly shutting off the or-
gan which was banked with flowers
also added to the beauty of the scene
the whole being lit up with candel-
abra in addition to the chande-
liers. At 8:35 o'clock the melodious
strains of Lohengrin Miss Graper
presiding at the Instrument announc-
ed the arrival of the wedding party.
The ushers Dr. Day and J. R. Shee-
han passed up the right and left
aisles respectively. Following the
former came In turn Miss Mabel
Miller Miss Electa Wagoner of De-
catur Tex. Miss Grace Fortner then
little Mary Halsell the groom's sister
with the pillow and last the bride
leaning upon her father's arm. Up
the left aisle following the usher
passed E. M. Skinner Nathaniel L
Rider then Clarence the groom's sis
ter carrying the flowers and follow
ing her the groom upon the arm of
his "best man" Tom Byrd ail the
gentlemen being in conventional full
dress.
At the altar Rev. Butler awaited
them and to the low strains of the
organ accompanying Dr. Uwen who
sung in an undertone a beautiful
solo "O Promise Me" said
the words which united our
young friends for life the ring
ceremony beiug employed. The exit
was by the central aisle the two little
.girls preceding the bride and groom
and strewing their path with flowers.
Miss Lucile is the youngest of the
two daughters of Dr. B. F. Fortner
of this city. She was born at Fayette-
ville Arkansas but 'has grownup
from childhood In Vinita as has also
the groom. She is a graduate of Wil-
lie Halsell college and had a year at
the Cincinnati conservatory of music
in which art she Is especially accom
plished. Miss Lucile is divinely fair
and has a most gracious presence and
looked more lovely than ever as she
stood at the nuptial aitar last night.
She was elegantly attired in a white
liberty silk en train and handsomely
trimmed in white chiffon spachtel
lace and pearls. Her veil was of silk
tulle fastened to the hair with pearl
pins and she carried a bouquet of
beautiful bride's roses. Her traveling
dress was a tailor made gray broad
cloth braided In black; skirt made
tunic effect. The hat was of gray
Draia trinimea witn Mercury wing3
and cut steel ornaments.
The bridesmaids were gowAed in
seashell pink silk muslin bodice cut
celved by the bridal party and after
paying their respects were shown to
the room where were displayed the
presents and their comforts otherwise
looked after by Mrs. Mellette Mrs.
Paul Mrs. Dr. Bagby Mrs. Parker
and Mrs. Butler. In Its arrangement
the reception was perfect and the en-
tire company was disposed of as easi-
ly as though it numbered but
a score. The hall decorations
were beautiful consisting of nastur-
tiums and oak leaf branches. The
parlors were lavishly adorned with
carnations and ferns and in the (lining
hall the oak branches and Japan-
ese lanterns were employed to a
decided advantage. Delicate refresh
ments were served and the occasion
was a most happy one. Miss Maud
Miller Miss Grace Butler Miss Ma
mie Fortner and Miss Eva Halsell
wore dainty costumes of pink and
white and presided over the punch
bowl.
The wedding gifts were not only
magnificent but munificent em
bracing among other slight(?) tokens
of regard a check for fS.OOO and also
$500 in gold. While the signature dis
closed the donor of the check no card
ndicated to the guests by whom any
of the gifts were bestowed dainty
rich or costly though they were.
As atsouvenir all members of the
wedding party were presented with
very handsome stick pin the settings
of which were twenty pearls. These
were of course worn at the wedding
and will be very highly prized by the
recipients.
