BRILLIANT HEBREW WEDDING, j
—
Marriage of Mr. Max Weisl to Miss
Hattie Bernstein Celebrated at Ho
tel Hazel Wednesday Evening
By Rabbi Spitz, Followed
By An Elegant Banquet.
The taking of nuptial vows is ever
an occasion of solemnity, the im
pressiveness of which falls not only
upon those who thus plight their life’s
devotion, but upon hearers without
the pale of blood relationship. Hardly
could a rite, naturally affecting and
important by reason of the new rela
tions it brings into existence, be made
more forcible and imposing than by
the ceremonies which are thrown
about^and become a part of the He
brew wedding. Such was the impress
upon the minds of those who attended
the beautiful wedding of Mr. Max
Weisl of St. Louis to Miss Hattie
Bernstein at the Hotel Hazel upon
Wednesday evening.
The parlors had been very tastily
decorated; the effect sought was the
beauty of simplicity rather than
wealth of profuseness. Beneath an
arch of magnolia leaves, studded with
white roses, was the trysting-place of
bride and groom and above their
heads hung two hearts typical of those
that were thereafter to beat as one.
From window to window reached a
border of vines and the whole effect
in the color scheme of white and
green was very pretty indeed.
At the hour of 8;40 to the strains of
Mendlessohn’s march rendered by
Miss Mary McKinnon, accompanied
by Miss Gene Bandy upon the violin,
the bridal party entered via the rear
parlor. Miss Blanche Bernstein, the
maid of honor, with Mr. Louis New
man, the groom’s best man, leading,
the .two ranging themselves upon
either side of the altar. They were
followed by Mr. Sam Weisl and Mrs.
H. Bernstein, Mr. Max Weisl, the
groom, and his mother, Mrs. Sam
Weisl, the bride upon the arm of her
father, Mr. H. Bernstein, succeeded
by other members of the families of
the contracting parties.
Raobi Spitz met beneath the arch
fair bride and gallant groom. In pas
| sive tones, he recited the Jewish ser
i vice, administering the cups of wine,
one typifying sorrow the otjier joy.
The ring, signifying a pure love, was
used in making the bond of man and
wife and the vows were offered in
Hebrew. The rite was beautifully
performed and upon the conclusion
of the ceremony, friends of the newly
wed, who crowded the parlors, lobby
and porches, overwhelmed them with
congratulations. ‘
The bride was lovely in a handsome
white mousseline over taffeta silk,
very elaborately trimmed with mous
seline embroidery. This beautiful
gown was made with long court train.
She carried a huge boquet of bride’s
roses and wore the veil, which was
caught up by a brooch of pearls.
The maid of honor, Miss Blanche
Bernstein was handsome in a white
organdie over silk taffeta, trimmed
with white taffeta bands and carried
bridesmaid roses.
Mrs. H. Bernstein wore black silk
over taffeta, trimmed in point lace
and wore diamonds.
Miss Della Bernstein was ^ttired in
a white India mull, trimmed with
Valenciennes lace anil wore piun
roses.
The groom and best man, together
with Mr. Ike Bottenstein, who had
charge of the arrangements and taking
care of the guests, appeared to ad
vantage in full dress.
A ribbon running across the en
trance between the parlors contained
hearts upon which were written some
■favorite quotation to serve as me
mentoes of this occasion.
The popularity of the newly wed
was well attested in the many hand
some presents of which they were the
proud recipients. From Joe Wash
j ington, the porter at the Hazel, who
j presented the bride a beautiful cabi
| net, to friends scattered about all over
the country, came such beautiful re
; membrances in the way of furniture,
cut glass, silverware and other mis
cellaneous articles, all of which will
I prove useful and ornamental in their
J new home.
The bride is the eldest daughter oi
i Mr. and Mrs. H. Bernstein, and her
i life from a very tender age has been
' spent in Newport. Of a frank and
I genial temperament, in which those
qualities of mind and heart are com
| bined for the making of a model wife,
Mr. Weisl finds a helpmeet whom he
i cau well congratulate himself upon
| having won. The groom is a young
merchant of St. Louis, where they will
make their home in the future.
The Independent offers congratula
tions and best wishes for the felicity
of a mutual love, for nothing suffices
i love and what can add to the happi
ness of two who love one another. As
Victor Hugo in his master work hat
said, “Even as God is the plentitude
of Heaven, so is love the plentitude of
man.”
ELEGANT BANQUET SPREAD.
Over a hundred guests enjoyed the
banquet that evening in honor of the
event, given by Mr. and Mrs. H.
Bernstein in the dining hall of the
Hazel. The chandeliers were beauti
fully draped and the floral decorations
too were happily conceived and ar
ranged to artistic effect.
A table, extending the length of the
hallway, at which presided the newly
wed furnished seating capacity for
most of the guests at one time. Mr.
J. E. Doherty had charge of the ar
rangements here and in the serving
of this banquet demonstrated himself
to be a connoisseur in the knowledge
of how to manage such an affair and a
past master in the execution of hie
plans.
The table was laden with all season
able delicacies, consisting of turkey,
chicken, cold tongue, ham, olives,
chicken, shrimp, lobster and potato
salads, peppermints in little heart
shaped papers and almonds in cups
The paper napkins contained the
initials “B.-W.” as did also the large
wedding cake, upon the icing of which
were tiny dove figures.
Mr. Ike Bottonstein acted as toast
master upon this occasion and aftei
two courses of Bweet wines, the pop
ping of champagne bottles announcec
that the best of the feast was yet tc
come. Newport has rarely witnessec
a more magnificent banquet and s
more generous and hospitable hos
and hostess could not be found thai

Happily worded toasts, that wen
also rich in sentiment and humor
were responded to by Rabbi Spitz
Rev. J. W. Smith, J. M. Stayton, Al
corn Ferguson, Mrs. Blumenthal o
St. Louis and Mrs. L. J. Lucas. Mr
Bernstein in return thanked his guesti
for their many kindly expressions ol
good will. Numerous telegrams ol
congratulation were read fron
friends out of town, regretting tbei:
inability to be present and joining ii
the good wishes of this auspicioui
hour and occasion.

Caine Near Causing Separation ^.4^ J(
the Suicide of the Bridegroom. |jro
- iua;
A most remarkable story comes
from Bentonville, related by Jo S.
Stevenson of the Democrat. He re
ports that E. S. Loper of Chicago and
Miss Gertrude Anthony of Siloam
Springs were married at the latter
place on July 28, and left the following
day for Springfield, Mo. A few days
later Mrs. Loper received a letter
from a friend in which some uncom
plimentary remarks were made about
her husband, but she refused to di
vulge more than to say that he had
disgraced himself and her. She told
him that she proposed to leave him
and return home, and he threatened
to commit suicide it she did so. When
she showed that Bhe was determined
to leave, Loper took several morphine
tablets, but his wife summoned phy
sicians and by dint of much effort and
the use of a Btomach pump his life
was saved. Then she repeated her
determination to leave him and he
went into his room, locked the dogr
turned on the gas and retired. A por
ter observed the gas escaping, opened
the door, summoned a physician and
once more Loper’s life was saved.
About this time Mrs. Loper received
a telegram from her friend who had
, caused all the trouble, saying, “Oh,
my; can’t you take a joke?” Then all
was explained, there was a reconcil
iation and the wedding journey was
, resumed.
