The wedding of Miss Katherine McCrea and Percy M. Blake last evening, says the Spokane, Wash. Chronicle of Sept. 10, at the homes of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Will S. McCrea, W. 1023 Sixth Avenue, was one of the month's prettiest home weddings. About thirty relatives and friends attended the nuptials, which were solemnized by the Rev. J. K. Cecil, pastor of the Vincent Methodist Episcopal church. A wedding supper was served after the ceremony.

The bride wore a handsome dress of white satin trimmed in real lace, and she wore a tulle veil which was caught with a bow of orange blossoms. The bride carried a bouquet of white roses with white ribbon streamers tasseled with sweet peas.

Her sister, Miss Helen McCrea, the maid of honor, wore pale blue satin and carried pink roses. The flower girl, Helen Mendenhall, cousin of the bride, wore white and carried a bouquet of Cecil Brunner roses. Eugene Mendenhall, another cousin of the bride, opened the door. The best man was Mark Mendenhall, cousin of the bride.

The home was prettily decorated for the occasion, the hall and stairs being decorated in yellow and green, the living room in white and green and the dining room in pink.

A Hampton girl leads all New England in the art of fudge making and has therefore won a prize of a $5 gold piece and made glad the hearts of ten sweet loving marines. Ten members of the Marine Corps stationed at Paris Island, S. C., recently sent a request for boxes of fudge from New England girls offering a prize of a $5 gold piece to the girl whose offering was considered the best, and they were literally swamped with entries. Ninety-nine packages of candy were received in one day and an abundance on other days. The gold prize was won by Miss Marcelle Troyon of Hampton. The ten marines certainly got full value for their $5 investment.
