Foye-McShane Wedding

The marriage of Miss Mary McShane and Mr. William James Foye took place last evening at 8 o'clock, at the home of the bride's mother, Mr. E. C. McShane, 2204 California street, in the presence of a company of sixty relatives and guests.

The ceremony was performed by Father Bronsgeest, in the second parlor, before a bank of palms. The house throughout was decorated with white chrysanthemums and palms except the dining room, which was done in red, American Beauties predominating.

The Lohengrin wedding march, played by an orchestra, announced the coming of the bride, who was attended by her sister, Miss Ellen McShane, as maid of honor, becomingly gowned in white lisse, heavily trimmed with lace and carrying American Beauty roses.

The bride wore a costly gown of white lace over chiffon and satin, embroidered with flowers, on both bodice and flowing skirt. Her veil was of tulle and her flowers, brides roses. Mr. William Tracy Burns acted as best man. Mr. Louis Nash an Mr. Lee McShane carried the ribbons.

During the exchange of vows, "Angel Serenade" was softly played.

The ceremony was followed by a reception. The 200 guests were received by Mrs. McShane, who wore a costume of tan crepe-de-chene; Mr. and Mrs. Foye and Mrs. Sargent of Kansas City, a sister of the bride. Assisting were Mrs. John A. McShane, Mrs. A.V. Kinsler, Mrs. A.P. Guiou, Mrs. Hogan, Chicago; and Miss Mercer.

Mr. and Mrs. Foye will go to New York on their wedding journey. They will be at home to their friends after January 1, at 193 West Armour boulevard, Kansas City.

Until his removal to Kansas City a few months ago, Mr. Foye has been identified with the Hoagland Lumber company, and the departure of these two young people from the city will be a source of regret to their many friends, as they were both popular socially and numbered among the best golfers at the Country club.
