The bride was clad in a beautiful gown of white georgette and crepe de chine and wore a bridal veil. She carried a shower bouquet of white roses, while Miss Dunlap carried pink roses.

A lap luncheon was served to the relatives and friends, after which Mr. and Mrs. Dunlap departed on the 8:26 train for Muskegon, Michigan, where they will spend a week. The traveling suit of the bride was of navy, with which she wore a becoming hat of black.

She is a charming young lady and has many personal traits. The groom is a thriving young man, with a genial and pleasing disposition.
