Larabee-Blair
A very pretty October wedding occurred Wednesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Blair, when their oldest daughter, Stella, was given in marriage to Mr. William Lorenzo Larabee.
The parlors of the Blair home were suggestive of autumn, with the trailing vines, bright hued leaves and huge chrysanthemums which were in evidence throughout the rooms.
At 8 o'clock Miss Julia Blair, the bride's sister, seated herself at the piano and while the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march pealed out, the bridal couple entered unattended. They were met in front of the south windows by Rev. Jay Carroll Everett of the Presbyterian church, who performed the marriage ceremony, using the impressive ring service.
The bride was charming in her wedding gown of white voile over taffeta silk, its simple lines unbroken by any trimming save a yoke of hand wrought Irish crochet, and its lovliness enhanced by the filmy wedding veil which she wore. She carried a bouquet of white carnations.
Immediately after the congratulations were offered, a delicious three course supper was served in the dining room, the decorations here being red and white carnations.
Mr. and Mrs. Larabee took the east bound train at 11:28 for a wedding journey, after which they will return to WaKeeney to make their home. The bride's going-away gown was a becoming tailored suit in the new smoke color with hat to match.
The guests were limited to relatives and a few very intimate friends of the families.
A number of beautiful gifts in silver, cut glass and china were received.
A crowd of young people met the bridal party at the station to offer their good wishes and to speed them on their wedding journey with the usual shower of rice, old shoes and other good luck omens. Mr. and Mrs. Larabee enter married life with the congratulations of a host of friends.
