EIGHT FAIR MAIDENS MAKE BRIDAL VOWS
One id Wedded According to the Friends' Rites, and a Sermon Precedes the 
Ceremony

  Eight wedding of persons prominent in the society of Philadelphia and vicinity 
too place yesterday.
  The ceremony most largely attended was in the First Moravian Church, at 
Fairmount avenue and Seventeenth street.  There Miss Ruth Baker Garrison became 
the wife of Wesley Barine, son of Professor D. W. Bartine, of the Boys' High 
School.  The wedding, which took place at 7 o'clock, was followed by a reception 
at 2233 Ontario street, which will be the future residence of Mr. and Mrs. 
Bartine.
  The church was prettily decorated and well filled.  The Rev. Dr. Charles Nagle 
performed the wedding ceremony.  The bride was given away by Clark Garrison, her 
brother.  Miss Virginia M. Garrison was maid of honor.  The bridesmaids were 
Miss Emma Price, Miss A. G. Sherron, Miss Ella Puddock and Miss Helen W. 
Bartine.  Louis A. Warne was the best man.  The ushers were Thomas Hare, George 
Garrison, Charles W. Bartine and Hampton Garrison.  The bride carried a large 
bouquet of white roses and lilies of the valley.  The maid of honor carried 
white roses and sweet peas, and the bridesmaids carried pink roses and violets.
  Following the reception the bridal couple departed on a wedding tour, but did 
not make their route known.
