he following description of a local wedding is taken from a Colorado newspaper:
As the slow dragging andante and falsetto of Lohengrin's wedding march was fading—then pealing in air, Mrs. Marcella Davis strummed the' ivory keys unto a higher pitch as the little flower girl; mystically wonderful, threaded her windings along the aisle, strewing flowers upon the floor, fit emblems which fill with hope ' the human heart and strengthen it to bear the storms of life. Once again the fingers touched the ivory keys, music—meltinz and tender love's tear-filled eyes, mellow and rich as an old painting, rare, sparkling and gay like imperial gems and chaste and refined like the face of a muse, flowed like a nyi through the quietness of the church, as the bride stepped forth like lovely star irom a frosty sky, and crisp the mountain breeze, touched by ingots from some treasured Ciingi upon her father's arm she passed o the rose petals strewn along the bridal Pathway leading unto the wedding altar. Rejoicing in the b ness of her course she did not shi the midst of her journey, but exult length of her youth and ting loved one, her aid pot the to med her lover sookes of pale ligh spread "stood the room, and as she her path of roses, he forth to guide her trembling feet to the altar which quivered and gleamed beneath a ceiling of amber and pavements of pearl. Here, within he depths of a palpitating sea of flowers, stood the battling Rita who was to pronounce the words which would permit these two to Tear for themselves their future home.
With church ritual in hand, Rev. Davis, dignified and adorned by this sacred shrine built for his people's God, stood, and as the wedding march reached the strain where Lohengrin's white gondola rested upon the placid sands, strewn by the groans and wailings of the wild sea waves, the tumult was stilled, and as the shades of evening deepened—into. night—this strange pilot of human fate pronounced the words which made this loving pair as one.
