SOUTHERN—STANLEY.

A Quiet Wedding at the Euclid Avenue M. E. Church—An Elegant Reception at the Residence of Mr. L. M. Southern.

An elegant June wedding took place Wednesday noon at the Euclid Avenue M. E. Church. The church was handsomely and tastefully decorated with ferns, palmettos, other rich foliage plants and a profusion of white flowers, principally lilies, which made a fitting setting for the simple but richly appointed bridal party present. Miss Myrtle Sutherland Stanley, sister of Mr. L. E. Stanley and granddaughter of the late Daniel Stanley, of Summit county, and Mr. William Marvin Southern were the contracting parties. The bridesmaids were Miss Edith Doty and Miss Kittie M. Southern, the latter a sister of the groom. The bride's cousin, Miss Hazel Chapman, a little girl only five years of age, acted as maid of honor. The ushers were Mr. Edwin Ingersoll and Mr. John Sprague, the former acting as the groom's best man. Rev. Eugene Edmonds, pastor of the church, officiated, using the ring ceremony and the beautiful ritual of the Protestant Episcopal Church. The two ushers advanced up the main aisle of the church, followed by the bridesmaids. The little maid of honor came next, and the bride and groom followed her. The bride's costume was a very elegant trained robe of rich white faille francaise. It was high in the neck, had elbow sleeves, and was tastefully trimmed with rose point lace. A full tulle veil enveloped the bride, and she carried a cluster of bride's roses. She wore no jewels save a very beautiful diamond brooch, the gift by the groom. Miss Doty wore a costume of cream white Henrietta cloth combined with surah silk, tastefully trimmed with chantilly lace. She carried nipherdos roses. Miss Southern wore a very tasteful dress of white silk veiled in lace, and carried pink la France roses.

About two hundred invitations had been issued, the guests being limited to the relatives and immediate friends of the two families. As the greater portion of these are residents of other cities there were probably not more than one hundred guests present. After the ceremony, a reception was given by Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Southern, the parents of the groom, at their spacious and beautiful home on Lamont street. The house is finely adapted for the display of floral decorative art, and was exquisitely adorned. The wide entrance hall has a high archway of carved open woodwook opposite the front door, and beyond this a high, old-fashioned fireplace and mantel. The latter were banked with flowers and potted plants to a great height, and the archway was wound with smilax and flower vines. The massive carved wooden banisters of the stairway leading from the right side of the entrance, and turning so as to pass seemingly over the fireplace referred to, were wound with garlands of roses and smilax, the newel posts holding huge baskets of flowers and drooping vines that hung down into the hall below. A large bay window in the corner of the hall between the stairway and the entrance, had boxes of blooming plants and vines in each division. To the left of this hall was the receptions room proper, the front of which was one wide paneled window reaching to the floor. Lace curtains, undraped, covered this opening, and in front of them was draped a meshwork of smilax. As a cornice, there was a rich, deep garland of roses, and at the center between the two smilax curtains, hung a huge bell of white roses. Under this the bridal couple took their position to receive congratulations. The mantel and arch in this room were suitably decorated. The supper tables were set in several adjoining rooms, the dining room proper, a large, square room, finely frescoed, being reserved for the bride's table. In this room the decorations were delicate and artistic, being of green foliage and white flowers only. The long bride's table bore an immense, oval-shaped center piece of white roses.

The presents received by the bridal couple were numerous and elegant. Prized by the recipients perhaps more than all, was a handsome quilt, made by the hands of Mrs. Gale, the groom's grandmother. THe bride and groom left the city at 8 o'clock for a tour of eight or ten weeks. Their course will take them first to Niagara Falls, thence down the St. Lawrence river and back into the mountainous country of the Adirondacks. After visiting points of interest among Eastern cities, they will return to make their residence with the parents of the groom.
