Marriage- Miller, Emma-Majors, Jessie

Married.
Miss Emma Miller and Mr. Jessie L. Majors were united in marriage, at the home of the bride's parents, Dr. and Mrs. Henry H. Miller, North Main street, Wednesday afternoon, June 8th.

The invited guests began to arrive at about 2 o'clock and soon filled the spacious parlors of the Miller home. Promptly at the appointed hour Miss Margaret McAdams, stationed in the music room, sang that beautiful ballad entitled "All For You." This was followed by Lohengrin's wedding march played by Miss Anna Wyatt. The bridal couple, preceded by little Lois Eakin, carrying the wedding ring on a bridal rose, and Dr. and Mrs. Miller, came down the broad staircase, through the parlors and to the library. Here, in the bow window, under a canopy of ferns from which was suspended a large marriage bell made of daisies, the bride and groom, and Rev. H.L. Nelson officiating, plighted their troth in solemn reverence. The ceremony will long be remembered by all present for its beauty and tovchful sacredness.

During the congratulations that followed, Miss Wyatt played "Hearts and Flowers."

The library was profusely decorated with daisies; asparagus fern curtains draped the windows and festoons of the same hung from the archways. The reception hall was decorated with asparagus fern and white syringas; a wealth of red roses greeted the eye in the west parlor while in the north a lavish display of pink roses were tastefully arranged.

The bride wore a handsome gown of white chiffon batiste, trimmed with teneriffe laces and carried a bouquet of bridal roses. The groom was garbed in conventional black while the little ring girl was dressed entirely in white.

The bride was a vision of loveliness as with modest unassuming grace she took her station at the altar. She is a Kansas product; a quiet, sociable, sensible girl with all the accomplishments and womanly virtues that go to make an ideal wife. Her friends are numbered by her acquaintances who shower upon her their choicest benedictions as she enters upon her new station in life.

The groom is a young businessman of Topeka, who by his [missing] and business ability to the front and commands the admiration and esteem of all who know him.

A light luncheon was served the guests a the conclusion of the ceremony.
