          The ceremony was performed under a huge bell made of daisies and suspended in the opening between the parlors.  At seven-thirty,  Paul C.

Daniel Ryan,  of Glenwood, entered from the west room and took their places for the ring ceremony.  "Venetian Love Song"  was played during the ceremony.
          The rooms thruout the house were artistically decorated in daisies, roses and ferns, French baskets and wall pockets being used in profusion.
          The bride was charming in a white gown of lace and net and she carried a shower boquet of bride's roses.
          Immediately following the congratulations, the guests were ushered to the dining room, where dainty refreshments of ices and creams in rose and cupid designs were served.
          Mr. and Mrs. Umfreys left at 9:34 last night for a short lake trip and will then go to Kokomo for residence.
          The out-of-town guests were  Mrs. Howard Umfreys,  Mrs. Clyde Woolridge,  Mrs. Nell Hall,  Miss Bertha Shook,  Miss Bess Peters,  and  Messrs.

          M. E.  Cole  established a records this morning.  Some of the cleverest tricks of legerdemain are put in the shade by the little occurrence in which Mr. Cole plays the prominent part.
          When the genial attorney left his home this morning he was resplendent in the glories of a four-in-hand necktie which disported tothe admiring eye all the attractions of black and white checks.   A gold stickpin also nestled snugly against the article of neckwear.  But after traversing five or six blocks Mr. Cole discovered that the aforesaid necktie had absconded.  A search warrant was issued on the spot, but a close investigation of all the other parts of Mr. Cole's person for which the necktie might have developed an affinity, showed that it had defaulted.
          Some of Mr. Cole's legal friends, after listening to his story to the effect that he had exercised due care and caution in adorning his person with the neckwear before leaving home, might be inclined to put in a plea of "non est factum," but the owner of the tie asserts that his story of the occurrence is true as he verily believes.  At the same time he appeals to the finder to return the tie.
