A pretty wedding took place in the home of the bride yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock when Miss Ruth G. McCleary, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S.

Miss McCleary, who was unattended wore a wedding dress of white taffeta and Georgette combined and carried a showed bouquet of white Killarney rosebuds and baby chrysanthemums. Miss McCleary descended the staircase on the arm of the groom to the strains of Mendelssohn, which was rendered by Miss Marion Keefer of Altoona, PA, a school friend of the bride.
The ceremony which was performed before the immediate families and a few intimate friends of the young couple were followed by the congratulatory period after which a buffet lunch was served. Later in the afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Mills left on their honeymoon which will include Cleveland and other points of interest.
