PERSONAL AND SOCIAL NOTES

Clarence Gray Weds Miss Eva Knight
- An Engagement.


The residence of W.H. Knight on Webster street was converted into an artistic bower when the marriage of Miss Eva Knight and Clarence H. Gray was solemnized there
Saturday night. The window recess of the drawing room was chosen for the ceremony. It was decorated with ferns and delicate potted plants. A Chinese basket was hung over head, bearing huge droopiing chrysanthemums. Little white blossoms and huckleberry relieved the green everywhere and there was a delightful change in the living room to pink cosmos.

The bride wore no veil and carried a bunch of chrysanthemums. Her gown was exquisite clinging white crepe with the fashionable yoke of embroidered chiffon. The gown was scrolled and elaborate with silk applique. The bride was given away by her father and following the ceremony performed by Rev. Ernest E. Baker of the First Presbyterian Church; an elaborate supper was served.

Mr. and Mrs. Gray have left for a tour of the East and return to the pretty home awaiting them here.
