PRETTY HOME WEDDING
MISS REBECCA HUGHES AND EARL MOHR MARRIED
WILL MAKE HOME IN WESTFIELD

On Wednesday afternoon, December 2d, at the home of the bride's
grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Hughes, occurred the marriage of Miss
Rebecca Hughes, to Earl Mohr, of Westfield.  The service was conducted by
Rev. Gilbert, pastor of the First Methodist church and was witnessed by the
intimate relatives and a few intimate friends.  The home presented an
attractive appearance in its floral decorations which were carried out in
the bride's chosen colors of yellow and white.  The bridal couple were
unattended.  The bride's gown was of white crepe de chine with trimmings of
brocade satin and lace.  Her bouquet was a shower of bride's roses.
     Following the ceremony an informal reception was held in the home of
Miss Rosa Held, 1052 Franklin street.
     Yellow and white predominated in the decorations used in the home, the
dining room being especially attractive.  An artistic bouquet of yellow and
white chrysanthemums formed the centerpiece of the long table at which all
appointments completed the pretty color effect.  The menu of the wedding
repast was served in three courses and Miss Held was assisted in extending
the courtesies at this time by Misses Lucy Winders and Gertrude Bogen.
     Mr. and Mrs. Mohr left on the evening train for their home in Westfield
where Mr. Mohr is engaged in the hardware business.  The bride wore a
traveling suit of dark blue broadcloth with hat and gloves to match.
     The bride is a graduate of the local high school, being a member of the
class of 1912.  She was also a member of the debating team at that time.
She is most popular among the younger social set, having a large circle of
friends.  The young people will be at home to their friends after January 1.
