The marriage of Miss Helen Kilbride and Mr. Craig Cates was celebrated yesterday afternoon at three o’clock at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, the Reverend John Sloan officiating. For an hour before that set, the ushers, Dr. S. R. Sholars, Mr. Pierce Hamilton of Matagorda and Mr. Wayman Peareson of San Antonio, found themselves fully occupied in seating the friends and acquaintances who thronged to the church, and who enjoyed in the interval the cool beauty and artistic setting of green and white, with the soft glow of pink within the chancel. The christening font, within the doors, showed a mass of sprengiri sprinkled with the fragile white star of Bethlehem, which played an exquisite part through the decorations. The pews for the relatives were reserved by scarfs of intertwined white and green maline, and the approach to the chancel was marked by palms, graduating into groups of trailing fern, star scattered, and stately white lilies tinged with pink. The pulpit, veiled in green, held pink asters and lilies, the choir rail was in the same blending shades, and everywhere were the massed ferns. White asters alone shone from the altar, beneath the plumose-draped frame of the reredos. The altar candles were lighted by Richard Gaines as the hour pealed forth, and the first notes of the lily-decked organ softly stole out, announcing the presence of Miss Lucille Ruckman in the chancel. The dainty pink lily effect of Miss Ruckman’s attire merged with perfection into the whole, but scarcely prepared the waiting listeners for the splendid tones of her contralto which rang out in D’Hardelot’s triumphant Because. Its last note sank into the mysterious beauty of the Lohengrin wedding chorus, played by Mrs. E. L. Hawkins, and Mr. Cates, accompanied by his cousin, Mr. Clifton Cates, of Tennessee, came from the vestry, while Miss Cornelia Mayfield, as maid of honor, preceeded the bride and her father, Mr. E. J. Kilbride, up the aisle. Miss Mayfield wore the smartest of gowns in green and black chiffon taffeta, with yoke, sleeves and castellated hem of green chiffon, and a drooping black velvet hat shaded the flower face. Her roses and fern, tied with wide pink arm bouquet was of pink Killarny satin streamers. The bonny bride, who charmed even the sulky sky into smiles, was in her going-away gown of dark blue chiffon broadcloth, belted by mahogany silk cording, ending in heavy mahogany and blue tassels, the whole being relieved by the colored embroidery in tone about the military collar, cuffs and pocket, and the delicate pink of the blouse. Her hat was a close fitting blue velvet toque, embossed by three outspread bluebirds, winging to happiness. The bouquet was of bride roses and maidenhair, with tube roses on showers of pink gauze ribbon, and held together by a white chiffon scarf. Sand-colored boots and lighter gloves complemented the costume, and we who love her thought her at her fairest. The searching beauty and solemnity of the service, initiated at the chancel and continued through the giving by the father of the daughter in marriage, completed itself at the altar rail in the pledges and the marriage benediction, and to the swell of the Mendelssohns’ march, they left the altar. The white satin cushion upon which the pair knelt was from the skilful hands of those who cared for the bride, and the stole worn by the officiating priest was the gift of her handiwork by Mrs. Holt, grandmother of the bride, to Mr. Sloan upon his assuming charge here many years ago, and it is now a valued relic. The book from which the service was read was presented to the young couple by the rector, having been sighed throughout by the three. A rice-laden throng pursued the couple to the station, where there were some moist eyes, but more merriment. Miss Eleanor Jones made the fortunate catch of the bridal bouquet; and little Eugene Wilson provided the legendary good luck with a small and ancient piece of foot gear, which fell on the platform as the train rolled out.
Mr. and Mrs. Cates today
reach Biloxi,
Miss., and later go to their home in Tiptonville, Tenn. |

At the home of Mr. and Mrs. Darby in the northeast part of the city, Miss Maude Darby and Mr. Perry A.

May the happy cheer and good will under which they begin life ever attend them. The Tribune joins with its congratulations and welcome them to our growing and goodly city.
