MARR-MORRIS WEDDING
    Notable among the nuptial events of October was the marriage of Miss Cornelia Little Morris, younger daughter of Mrs. May Reeves Morris, and the late Dr. John L. Morris, and Clyde Morrison Marr, only son of Mrs. Elizabeth Marr and the late Henry Marr, which took place last night at the home of the bride's mother on north Washington street. The ceremony was performed at 8:30 o'clock by the Rev. Z. T. Sweeney, pastor emeritus of the Tabernacle Christian church. In the presence of approximately seventy five of the immediate relatives. The ring service was used in receiving the vows and the ceremony was most impressive.
    While the guests were assembling Montani, harpist, of Indianapolis, in a screened nook in the hall, played a varied program of wedding music.
    The first parlor was reserved for the ceremony and the appointments were in green and white. The east end of the room was banked with palms and ferns. Amid the greenery were two white candelabra with white tapers. There were tall cathedral candles and on either side of the floral alter were throughout the rooms a high handled French baskets filled with white chrysanthemums. Back of the alter were wall pockets filled with the fluffy white blossoms and the mantel was banked with greenery. In the living room masses of bright autumn leaves were used with yellow chrysanthemums, and in the music room there were pink chrysanthemums in French baskets relieving banks of autumn leaves. The stairway was hidden with the foliage which was used extensively in the hall. The chandeliers throughout the rooms were draped with feathery smilax.
    The "Bridal Chorus From Lohengrin." announced the coming of the bridal party, who entered from the library. The attendants were Miss Elizabeth Reeves, Miss Mildred Marr, Ransom D. Perry and Frank S. McNeal. Misses Reeves and Marr came first and formed an aisle with white satin ribbons for the bridal party. The officiating clergyman came in alone and was followed by the bride and bridegroom, who came in together, followed by Mr. Perry and Mr. McNeal.
    Just before the ceremony Mrs. Chester Kitzinger, accompanied by Mr. Kitzinger, violinist, and Miss Mildred Brown, pianist, sang three beautiful numbers: "Because," "For You Alone," and "Possession." and during the ceremony "Oh Promise Me," and other bridal airs were played by the harpist.
    The bride was lovely in a gown of white satin and georgette crepe with pearl and rhinestone trimmings. The long wedding veil was caught with a wreath of orange blossoms and the bridal bouquet was orchids and sweetheart roses, with a shower of lilies of the valley. She also wore the bridegroom's gift, a platinum bracelet set with diamonds. Miss Reeves wore a lavender silk and her flowers were La France roses, and Miss Marr, a pink silk and her bouquet was Ophelia roses.
    After the ceremony and congratulations dainty refreshments of cream cake and mints were served. The appointments in the dining room were in pink and white and the ices and confections were in bridal designs.
    For the bride's table there was a beautiful two tier wedding cake with a center bouquet of pink rosebuds, veiled in tulle and resting on a double mound of pink roses, sweet peas and maidenhair fern. Broad bands of white satin ribbon and smilax were drawn from the dome to the four corners of the table. Small vases held pink rosebuds and many white tapers in crystal holders lent a soft light. The favors were tiny French baskets filled with dainty forget-me-nots tied with white ribbon.
    Mr. and Mrs. Marr left last night for a motor trip but did not state their destination, and the "at home" announcement is after December 1 on the Marr homestead, southeast of the city. To travel in Mrs. Marr wore a blue coat suit.
    The bride's gifts to Misses Marr and Reeves were bar pins and to Mrs. Kitzinger and Miss Brown cuff pins. The bridegroom's gifts to his attendants were dress suit sets, to Mr. Kitzinger a gold knife, and the bride's gift to the bridegroom was a gold watch chain and knife.
    Mr. Marr is a scientific farmer and after completing the high school course he attended Wabash College and is a member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity. His bride is a graduate of Tudor Hall, Indianapolis, and afterward was a student at Oakmire, Mamaronick, N.Y., and also at Finchis in New York City. She is also a member of the Psi Iota Xi Sorority.
    Those who came for the wedding were Mr. and Mrs. M. O. Reeves and Mr. and Mrs. Tom S. Elrod and family, of Indianapolis; Mr. and Mrs. Frank S. McNeal, of Kokomo; Carl Reeves, of Detroit, Michigan, and Bernard McBride, of Seymour.
