A singularly beautiful impressive occasion was the marriage of Miss E. Bernadine Moore and Mrs. Earl Perkins, solemnized at the home of the bride's parents, Tuesday morning, June the fourth, at nine o'clock.  The Reverend E. E. Satterlee, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church of Howard, performing the ceremony in the presence of only immediate relatives and a few intimate friends of the bride and groom.

The home was artistically decorated with pink roses and while lilies.  The walk to the alter, which was on the green lawn, was lined with large white daisies.  A beautiful bower and arch of roses formed a fitting background for the ceremony.

To the strains of the Bridal March from Lehengrin, the bridal party walked to the alter.  The bride was escorted to the altar by her father, Mr. George H. Moore, who gave her in marriage.

After the ceremony, when the congratulations had been received, the guests were invited into the house where pink and white cake, ice cream and coffee were served.  The color scheme of pink and white was most charmingly carried out in all the appointments.

The bride, who was beautiful in a lovely pink georgette combined with flowing silk lace, carried a large bouquet of pink and white tea roses, showered with lilies of the valley.  The groom wore the conventional black.

The bride, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George H. Moore, has lived near Howard all of her life.  She has a host of friends who love her for her charming personality, and fine womanly traits of character.  She is a graduate of Howard high school and has attended college at Pittsburg, Kansas.  For a number of years she has successfully taught school in Elk cuonty, having just completed a term at Moline, Kansas.

Mr. Perkins, who is a son of Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Perkins of Howard, has spent his entire life in this community.  He is well known as a successful stockman and liked as a young man of sterling worth and high ability.
