WILEY CUPID AT WORK - A pretty high noon wedding occurred last Wednesday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Shurtleff when Mr. Shurtleff's daughter, Miss Helen Emily Shurtleff, became the bride of Henry Cushing Stevens of Sacramento. The nuptial vows were taken under a lovers' knot of ribbon and beautiful flowers suspended in the spacious parlours. The rooms were decorated with the choicest flowers. The bride is one of the Orange City's most attractive and accomplished young ladies and has many friends who extend hearty congratulations. After the ceremony a delicious wedding breakfast was served and later the couple were driven to the afternoon train, where a host of young people gathered and lavishly sprinkled them with rice and wished them godspeed. Mr. and Mrs. Stevens will reside at Sacramento.
