BARKER - LOGAN
A very pretty wedding was solemnized at the J. H. Logan home at 8:30 o'clock last evening, when Miss Ada Logan and Perl W. Barker were united in the holy bonds of matrimony. The house was artistically decorated for the occasion in a beautiful pink and white effect. At the northwest corner of the parlor was a beautiful arch supported by two pedestals. Hanging from the center of the arch were two large intertwined hearts, one pink, the other white and back of the archway was a beautiful lattice work. The solemnities began by the rendition of the beautiful solo, "O Promise Me" by W. F. Mikesell. Then came Mendelssohn's wedding march beautifully rendered by Miss M. Ruth Gamble. Little Logan McBride, Caryl Logan and Maud and Nat Barker stretched white ribbons forming an aisle leading to the archway, through which passed Rev. George Bray, Louis Logan bearing the wedding ring in the heart of a rose, Jeanette McBride and Helen Cooper, strewing pink and white rose petals, followed by the bride and groom. The bride was dressed in a handsome suit of cream voile with lace yoke, trimmed in narrow velvet ribbon with lace medallions, and wore a bouquet of carnations. Under the archway the simple and impressive ring service was celebrated, uniting the happy couple. Immediately the ceremony was ended the piano struck up Lohengren's bridal march while the bride and groom, followed by the flower girls strewing flowers in their pathway, and the assembled guests proceeded to the place of refreshments. Refreshments were served from a center table, artistically decorated with smilax and with a pink and white effect. Misses Margaret Klee, Lena Drager, Frances Reynolds and M. Ruth Gamble served. The menu was in two courses, the first consisting of veal loaf, pickled tongue, bread and butter sandwiches, sliced tomatoes served on lettuce leaves with salad dressing, the second of brick ice cream in heart shaped effect and cake, all being in pink and white. In a beautifully deconrated corner of the sitting room Miss Jetta Byrne presided over the punch bowl. Many beautiful and useful presents were received from the friends of the newly married couple. Mr. and Mrs. Barker left this morning on a short trip, after which they will begin housekeeping in the rooms over Mr. Barker's store which have been entirely refitted and handsomely furnished. Mr. and Mrs. Barker are too well known in Ponca to need any introduction. Mr. Barker in a rising young merchant, the owner of the Racket store; his bride is the accomplished daughter of Postmaster Logan. The Journal extends congratulations and best wishes on behalf of their many friends.
