Beautifully Performed
By Rabbi Wolsey—
Banquet And
Ball Follow.
ie sacred solemnity of the
riage vows is beautifully re
tized in the Hebrew service,
significance and full portent
romises that are never ended
' death do us part, is dwelt
i in symbolism so natural,
ile and true, that the effect
both upon witnesses and
e for whom it is primarily
nt. It is the heritage of an
snt race who have ever held
ghest reverence the marriage
and who have embellished
nrceful ritual through a his
of nearly four thousand
s by appropriate and effec
symbols.
iwport society thronged the
>rs and lobby of the Hotel
fi long before the appointed
Monday evening, as the ap
ching wedding had been a
ti-talked-of and keenly an
ated event. To this home
I assemblage was added the faces
of many visitors, friends and rela
tives of the contracting parties.
The pretty costumes worn and
the loveliness of beauty thus
adorned, together with the rare
efforts of the decorator’s art in
the parlor’s floral ornaments, fur
nished ample study and contem
plation for the guests prior to
the strains of Mendlessohn’s.
The march was played by Mrs.
PW. A-.' O’Neal, the bridal party
entering from the hallway by
the rear parlor. First came
the ushers, Mr. J. M. Berger,
Jr., and Dr. C. E. Carroll, Mr.
W. T. Dunn and Mr. A. Arndt,
followed by Mr. and Mrs. William
Cohn, father and mother of the
groom, Mr. D. Mendel, the
groom’s grandfather, and Mrs.
H. Bernstein, Miss Della Bern
stein, carrying a beautiful boquet
of bridesmaid roses, Mr. H.
Bernstein and fair daughter, the
bride.
The groom, Dr. Seldon Cohn,
accompanied by his best man,
Mr. T. H. Lovelace, entered by
the front parlor door, meeting
tlm bride upon the arm of her
fathc" at the altar, upon either
side of which the attendants had
taken their places.
Rabbi Louis Wolsey of Little
j Rock stood beneath a wedding
bell, decoration ot smiiax ana
fern that hung gracefully from
an arch of calla lillies and roses,
whose white splendor and purity
was enhanced by a mingling oi
the green of fern leaf and vine.
The well modulated tones oi
the officiating rabbi carried tc
the hearts of his hearers the
beautiful and felicitous expres
sion of his thoughts and inter
* pretation of the significance oi
the vows taken. His words were
liquid streams of eloquence as he
passed in turn from the sipping
of the cup of joy to the ring ser
vice in which both bride anc
groom placed upon the other’s
filler this seal of their devotior
anti then tasted of the cup o;
sorrow, which they were to beai
as one through life, even as witl
life’s pleasures and successes.
Upon the conclusion of the im
pressive service the bride anc
groom were fairly overwhelmec
with the congratulations o:
friends and relatives.
They were the recipients o.
presents, too numerous to men
tion, expressions of the esteen
and love of hosts of friends, wh<
found pleasure in looking a
these costly and beautiful re
membrances during the short in
terim between the wedding and
banquet.
COSTUMES WORN.
The bride, a very handsome
brunette, was lovely in a white
i embroidered chiffon, made over
taffeta silk and trimmed with old
point lace. The veil worn was
an old family heirloom and was
caught up with bride’s roses, of
which she carried a boquet.
Miss Della Bernstein was
attired in a white organdie over
taffeta silk with pink trimmings.
Mrs. Wm. Cohn wore a helio
trope silk, black lace trimmings,
diamonds and carried violets.
Mrs. H. Bernstein wore a
handsome black silk with lace
| trimmings, diamonds.
ELEGANT BANQUET SPREAD.
In the dining hall the color
scheme of pink and white, beau
tifully carried out in the
overhead and table decorations—
a most enrapturing scene
greeted the eyes of the company
as they were seated at long ta
bles which stretched from end
to end of the capacious dining
I hall.
Cut flowers and fern leaves,
too, contributed to the effect of
uountiiuny iaaen taoies. me
delicacies of the banquet em
braced turkey, tongue, ham;
chicken, shrimp and potato sal
ads, cranberries, celery, olives,
pickles, cheese, brick cream in
the prevailing colors, macca
roons, individual cakes bearing
the initials “B. C,” nuts, fruits,
almonds and peppermints. To
all this was added the rich flavor
of Maderia, qlaret, champagne
and beer. To relate the enjoy
ment of so sumptuous a banquet
is hardly necessary.
Mr. Charles Meyer, acting as
toastmaster, proposed a toast to
the fair bride and called upon
Rabbi Wolsey, who responded in
a very happy vein of humor,
closing his remarks with a beau
tiful peroration on marriage.
Messrs. Gustave Jones, Joseph
M. Stay ton and C. E. Erwin
made timely and appropriate re
sponses that were well received
upon the part of the company.
A score or more telegrams ol
congratulation, expressing re
i gret at not being able to be
present, had been received
from outside friends, which i1
was intended should be read, bul
owing to the large number pres
ent, many of whom did not secure
seats at the first table, then
reading was dispensed with.
DANCE FOLLOWS BANQUET.
A Little Rock orchestra hac
furnished music for the occasion
enlivening the banquet hall, anc
after the dining hall had beer
cleared the waltz and two-stei
were enjoyed until the hours o:
morning heralded the near ap
proach of day. The hospitalitj
of Mr. and Mrs. Bernstein is
never half-hearted and the man
agement of this delightful nup

1 riage of their daughter, was s<
‘ well performed that even forme:

MISER SCATTERS MONEY.
Giving a Woman Who Befriended
Him $1,700.
Ozark, Feb. 15.—Billie Silers,
a miser and recluse, who has
been living about here for years,
has suddenly become insane and
will probably be sent to an asy
l lum.
It was believed he had money
and the belief became a certainty
, Friday when he went to the home
of George Cowen and gave to
Mrs. Cowen, who has washed ior
him, $1,700 in cash. He also
gave to some other parties who
had been kind to him some $400.
Silers had not been well for
some months and it is thought
’ this, with his unpleasant sur
roundings, caused his insanity.
He had never paid Mrs. Cowen
for washing for him, but always
! told her he would give her a
present some day.
