EVENING CEREMONY

Pink and white, carried out in a pro­fusion of roses and carnations, formed the color scheme at the home of Mr. R. G. Hemingray, on East Gilbert street, last evening, when at 7:30 o'clock, the marriage of his daughter. Miss Carrol Hemingray, and Philip McAbee was solemnized by the Rev. William H. Allen, pastor of the Jackson street Christ­ian church.

The service was read in the living room, open stairway, screened with maidenhair and banked with palms and ferns for the party. The floors were covered with white and effectively arranged about the different rooms were green wall pockets filled with pink and white car­nations and roses. The walls and door­ways were adorned with ropes of maidenhair ferns, while the chandeliers were festooned with southern smilax. Hart's orchestra, of Indianapolis, gave a concert of love music and the wedding guests assembled, from the porch, which had been enclosed by awnings and illumin­ated by incandescent lights. The wedding was a beautifully arranged affair, though marked by elegant simplicity in all its appointments, with only the families of the bridal party and the out-of-town guests in attendance.

Mr. Hemingray gave his daughter away and the bridal gown was of white tuile with bertha of point lace. Her point lace veil, which is an heirloom and has been worn for many years by brides in the Hemingray family, was held in place by a wreath of myrtle, and she carried a shower boquet [sic] bouquet of valley lillies and white orchids. Miss Hemingray had as her maid of honor, her sister. Llewellyn Hemingray, and Miss Mary MeAbee, of Cleveland, sister of the groom, was the only bridesmaid. Both were attired in pink point d'esprit, with empire girdles, and each carried an arm­ful of pink roses. The maids wore the gifts of the bride, a gold bar pin with sunken sapphires to her sister and a festoon necklace of pearls to Miss McAbee. The bridal party was completed by William Martin, of Cleveland, who served as best man and the groomsmen, Albert Green, of Cleveland, and Harry Wolf, of this city. Three little boys, Phillip and Jack Martin, of Cleveland, nephews of the groom, and Frank Cross, of Cincinnati, a cousin of the bride, served as ribbon bearers. The groom's gift to the bride was a princess ring, set with pearls and diamonds; to the men of the party, gold shirt buttons, and to the ribbon bearers, silver knives.
