People Were Present — Novel "Send

Off" at Depot.


The marriage of Mr. George F. Bailey and Miss Maybelle King occurred last evening at 7 o'clock at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leroy J. King, 409 East Charles street, Rev. H. M. Denslow, of the Grace Episcopal church, officiating, in the presence of nearly one hundred guests.

The house decorations were profuse, but not too much to take away the charm of the furnishings. Music was furnished by the opera house orchestra which was hidden behind a bank of palms that formed a part of the decorations in the hall at the main entrance. The stairway and chandeliers, were wrapped with smilax, adding to the ef­fect in the hallway.

The second parlor, where the ceremony was performed, was a bower of beauty. The bay window was filled with palms, forming a background for the canopy under which the happy couple stood during the ceremony. The canopy was a creation of smilax and pink roses, the colors throughout being pink and white. In the dining room the mantel was draped with maiden­hair ferns, pink flowers and potted plants. From the chandelier streamers of smilax twined down to either corner of the bride's table, which was strewn with pink roses, under the canopy. The bride’s chair was decorated in a charming manner with white ribbons, smilax and roses.

The wedding dinner was served in four courses and was elaborate. A new feature was the bride's cake served in small paper boxes, festoned with white silk ribbons making the souvenir of the occasion.

The attendants were Misses Pearl and Anna Bailey, sisters of the groom, and William Myers. Miss Ellis was to have been maid of honor, but the death of her grand mother prevented, and Miss Pearl Bailey filled her position also. The bride, a charming young lady and a decided blonde, was attired in brocaded silk poplin, with embroidered cheffon and pearl trimmings, carrying bride's roses.

The Misses Bailey were gowned in white organdy, over pink silk, each car­rying a cluster of pink roses. The bride s mother wore black duches satin, trimmed in jet and fritter, and Mrs. Bailey, the groom's mother wore black grenadine over blue silk, wearing dia­monds. The groom’s gift to the bride was a three set diamond ring and to each of the lady attendants a beautiful lace pin. The best man was given a gold ring, with enameled initial set.

On the bride’s table were hearts of cake, three of them containing presents. Miss Anna Myers received the ring, Mr. Myers the thimble and the dime was in the heart drawn for Miss Ellis.

The presents were charming and many. The bride and groom departed for Cincinnati at 9 o'clock and were accorded a good time at the depot. Small handbills were distributed in the train bearing the likeness of a girl and boy kissing, while embraced, with the fol­lowing inscription: "Bride and greem in the rear coach, both bashful. Show them a good time.
