THE HAMILTON-ETIVA NUPTIALS.
-------------
   At 4:30 o’clock on last Thursday afternoon, the girls’ quarters was a scene of gaiety, although the occasion was not unmixed with sadness; for was not the school about to part with two of its honored members who have been with us for a long time?
   The Girls’ Assembly Room was prettily decorated in lace curtains, plants and flowers. About mid-way down the north side, archlike festooning of smilax, ferns and roses, marked the altar. On the piano was a jardiniere of as handsome roses as ever bride looked upon.
    The long hand of the clock pointed straight down having passed its lesser companion at the station of four. The west door opened and Paul Hayne, with Mabel Buck leaning upon his arm appeared. He escorted, her to the piano when she played Mendelssohn’s wedding march as the bridal party entered.
   First came Paul Hayne and Seichu Atsye, then Chester Smith and Alice Sheffield and last the bride and groom, looking grave and sedate. The bride was dressed in pearl cashmere and carried a bouquet of varicolored roses. Never did Marie look prettier and more interesting. The company marched with solemn tread through a central passage way the entire length of the room, then counter marched, and stopping in front of the officiating minister, Rev. Dr. Norcross, of the Second Presbyterian
Church of Carlisle, Amos Hamilton and Marie Etiva were pronounced man and wife with an impressiveness that was deeply marked and in a stillness that seemed like death.
   After the wedding ceremony congratulations were in order.
   Although only the girls and a few friends were the invited guests, the audience was large, adn there was not time for each to take the bride and groom by hand.
   The party soon left the room to cross the grounds before hundreds of curious specators, as the band upon the band stand played an appropriate march.
   In the teachers parlor covers were laid for 12 of the nearest friends of Amos and Marie.  Roast chicken, salads and desserts were indulged in, while the presents in Miss Campbell's room were examined by admiring hosts.
   Among the presents were silver spoons, forks, knives, linen pictures, etc., etc.
   At 6 o'clock the bridal party was taken to the train, and as they drove off the shower of rice was so profuse as to be wasteful had not the hungry little sparrows found an after feast in the residue.
   At the train, more rice was thrown and the happy couple departed amid cheers and the usual blessings and God speeds of such an occasion.  Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton will live in Pawhuska, Oklahoma.
