CLARENCE EMP1E MOTTE LEADS ! TO THE ALTAR MISS IDA R. GRAHAM 1 OF WILLIAMSBURG. ' One of the prettiest marFiages ; >f the early springtime in Wil- : ninnrfAn tttqc that nf Miss Ida R ? Jraham, the attractive young laughter of Mrs Sarah Elizabeth iraham, and Mr Clarence Empie lotte, a son of Mr and Mrs Benamin Motte, both bride and froom being among the most jopular young people of this :ity. The ceremony was perormed at 5 o'clock yesterday ifternoon in the First Baptist :hurch, which was thronged with admiring relatives of the lappy young people. The altar where the pretty ceremony was said was banked with palms and ferns, the color scheme of the decorations being white and green, this being carried out with charming effect. Promptly at the appointed hour tor the service the strains of Mendelssohnn's Wedding March as skilfully rendered by Mr Alf H Yopp, the organist, with violin accompaniment by Prof Jno F Kneissel, announced the approach of the wedding party. First came the ushers by twos down either aisle as follows: Messrs Ilartwell L Graham and M Emmett Graham, brothers of the bride, and Messrs J H LeGwin and Harry Newland, friends of the groom Then came the two pretty little ribbon children, little Misses Lid i Penton and Florence Motte, the latter being a niece of the groom. Immediately preceding the bride came the little flower girl, as cute as cute could be, in the person of little three-yearold Miss Elizabeth Graham, a niece of the bride. She carried a pretty basket of bride's roses and lilies of the valley wifh ferns. The bride was attended as dame of honor by her sister in-law, Mrs Herbert A Graham of Greenwood, S C, who was immediately followed by the maid of honor, Miss Daisy Manning Davis of Wilmington. The bride entered leaning on the arm of her brother, Mr Herbert A Graham of Greenwood, S C, and she was met at the alter by the groom, who entered from the lecture room door with his best man, Mr Raymond F Motte, his brother. At the beautiful altar, suggestive of spring and all that is implied in the sweet story of love, the young people knelt and were made man and wife in the impressive service of the church as spoken by the pastor, Rev Fred D Hale, D D, j assisted by ltev W L uunning-1 gim, presiding elder of the Wil- j mington District of the M E :hurch. As the service progressed the "Angel's Serenade'" j was softly played with charming j effect. The marriage scene was )ne of the prettiest ever wit-1 locctifl in th#? church. The children attendants of the uarriage were clad in snowy vbite costumes and were as jretty and graceful as pretty md graceful could be. The < >ride wore a becoming white s ace bridal robe and carried j I >ride 's roses and lilies of the I ally. The maid of honor was j i >rettily attired in white chiffon 1 .ith lace trimmings and carried j >ink roses. The dame of honor t ras habited in white silk with c ace trimmings and cairiedpink c oses. Each wore large white i )icture hats with ostrich plume ?? :eding Date oi issue, :>f white. The male attendants vore black Prince Alberts, stripid trousers and wore boutonlieres of white carnations. The party left the church to the gladsome music of a bridal chords from Lohengrin, repairing at 3nce to the home of the bride's mother, Mrs Sarah E Graham, No. 310 Grace street, where a. reception was given to a few intimate friends and relatives of the young people to the marriege vow. The decorations in the parlor were in white and green with wedding bell and garland effects. Yellow and white were the prevailing colors with the same artistic effect in the drawing room where a large number of handsome wedding gifts were displayed, in cut glass, silver, chinaware and the like. The couple left at 6:35 on the North bound ACL train for a wedding trip North. They will be away about ten days and upon their return will be at home at the residence of the groom'sparents, No. 217 Walnut street. The bride is much loved and admired in Wilmington, where the family have made their home for the past several years. The groom is a popular young Wilmingtonian and has lived here all his life. He has a responsible position with the Southern defot of the StandaVd Oil Company in Wilmington and is held in the highest esteem by his employers and fellow employes. In token of this esteem a very handsome dinner set of Havi" " - * 3 5!_ _ land china was tne weacunjj gift from the offices where Mr Motte is employed. Among the out-of-town guests here for the wedding were Mr and Mrs Herbert A Graham and little daughter, of Greenwood* S. C.: Miss Lillie Graham, of Scranton, S. C.: Miss Maud Hop-, kins, Seneca, S.
