PRETTY WEDDING AT FIVE O'CLOCK

Yesterday afternoon at 5 o’clock, Rev. William G. Schultze, pastor of the German Methodist Episcopal church, united in marriage Miss Emma Lemkau and Oscar Mittman at the Lemkau home, 506 Evans Street. The ceremony was performed in the presence of about twenty-five immediate relatives. The wedding colors were red and white, and the house was profusely decorated in these colors. The bride was attractively gowned in white and carried red roses. The bridal couple entered the door to the Lohengrin wedding music played by Miss Edith Stocker. After the ceremony, the company was served with a delicious wedding supper. Mr. and Mrs. Mittman are both well-known and have many friends in the city. They will be at home at 1169 Hershey Avenue at once.
