Hood--Hammatt.

No more delightful company ever gathered in Emporia than that which gathered at the home of Major and Mrs. Hood to witness the beautiful ceremony that united Miss Alice Hood to Mr. Theodore Hammatt of Topeka. The spacious rooms were filled with guests at 11 o'clock this morning, and a few minutes after the solemn strains from Mendelssohn signaled the guests that the bridal procession would begin. The groom was supported by Mr. Edward Osborn of Topeka, and the bridesmaids, Misses Hattie Lakin and Lella (sic) Little of Emporia, and Miss Margaret Dudley of Topeka, were with the bride who came in the parlor upon her father's arm. Miss Lucile (sic) was the maid of honor. In front of a bank of lilies and palms Rev. Sauerber said the simple and eloquent words of the wedding ritual of the ring as prescribed by the Presbyterian church.

The ushers were Mr. Harry Weaver, Mr. Daniel Hammatt and Mr. Farmer Murphy. The usual happy moments of congratulation were followed by an elaborate wedding breakfast, and Mr. and Mrs. Hammatt took the early train to Topeka.

An interesting detail of the day's felicity may be noted in the fact that the wedding dinner will be served at the new home of Mr. and Mrs. Hammatt at Topeka, which has been handsomely furnished throughout by Major Hood, the bride's father. Among the other notable gifts were a silver tea set from the groom's mother and a complete silver service from Mr. Daniel Crosby of Topeka, the groom's uncle. There was a profusion of beautiful and costly presents, and the happy young people start out with many substantial tokens of good will which come so heartily from their hosts of friends.

The bride wore white brocaided satin trimmed in mousseline de soie and pearl passamentries. She carried lilies of the valley and wore the groom's gift, a diamond and pearl pin. The maid of honor wore a white silk mulle over white silk; she carried pink roses. The bridesmaids wore white organdies over pink silk, carrying pink roses.

The out-of-town guests were: Jonathan Thomas and wife, S. A. Kingman, M. Murphy, E. D. Osborn, H. A. Weaver, D. C. Hammatt of Topeka; E. Wallas, Mrs. Hammatt, Mrs. Crosby of Minneapolis; Misses Sallie and Lizzie Crosby, Mrs. A. Robinson, Mrs. Dudley, Mrs. Hudson, Mrs. Smith, Daniel Crosby, Judge Dallas and Mrs. Ready of Cadiz, Ohio.--The Emporia Gazette

Mrs. Abram Hammatt gave a reception Tuesday evening at her home, 602 West Tenth, to introduce Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Hammatt. The spacious rooms were tastily decorated with palms, ferns and cut flowers. A banking of ferns under a large mirror in the receiving room was especially pretty. This room was decorated with white hyacinths and La France roses. Bridal roses were combined with the palms and ferns in the dining room. One of the pretty features of the affair was a large number of recent brides, in their wedding gowns. Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Hammatt will go to housekeeping at 1001 Taylor street.
