Terre Haute, Ind., Oct. 2. — Miss Eva Hollinger today became the bride of Mr. Ralph G. Hemingray, of Muncie. The bride of the daughter of Mrs. Martin Hollinger and the ceremony was performed at the home of the bride’s aunt, Mrs. John Crapo, in the presence of about fifty relatives and friends.
The house was beautifully decorated for the occasion with palms. American Beauty roses and smilax. The Rev. J. D. Stanley, of Indianapolis officiated. The ring ceremony was used.
Immediately after the last course of the elaborate banquet the bride and groom eluded their friends in a unique manner. When the course was served at breakfast the butler, by previous arrangement with the bride, asked her to answer a long distance call from Muncie, explaining to the guests that Mr. Hemingray might be needed to reply to some congratulatory friends, they calmly walked from the dining room upstairs, down a private back stairway, thence through the kitchen to a waiting cab and to the station.
The guests, who were listening to a funny story from Mrs. Alice Fisher, aunt of the bride, missed the bridal couple after a while and Adolph Gagg, Sam Royse and several friends followed in automobiles.
