The home of Mrs. Esther Bale, No.
422 Seventh Street, was the scene of a
double wedding last evening between
7 and 8 o'clock when her two daughters,
Miss Elizabeth Amelia Bale and
Miss Anna Mabel Bale, were united
in marriage to Mr. Charles A. Smith
of Niagara Falls and Mr. Fred Loran
McGee of Buffalo.
It was one of the most interesting
home weddings that has been cele-
brated this autumn. The decorations
were autumn foliage greenery and
white ribbons.
The Rev. Arthur Cushing Dill, pas-
tor of the First Congregational Church,
was the officiating clergyman. There
were no atendants.
Promptly at 7 o'clock the first wed-
ding took place.. It was t h a t of Miss
Elizabeth Amelia Bale and Mr. Charles

guests gathered in the wedding room.
