SMITH-FOARD NUPTIALS LAST
EVENING ONE OF THE BRIL
LIANT SOCIAL AFFAIRS OF
THE SEASON AT ASTORIA.
Astoria society has been agog for
weeks over the anticipated wedding
of Misi Lola Dora Foard, one of the
most popular of the younger Astor-
iciines, the second daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Martin Foard, and Mr.
William Campbell Smith, of the
Northern Pacific Railway service of
Tacoma; and last night the last and
plcasantcst anticiption in this regard
was achieved.
The lovely young bride is known
far and wide in this community where
here whole life has been spent, and
her hosts of friends, and those of her
family, left nothing undone that might
contribute to the joy and charming
detail of this, the drowning event of
that life. Her young friends and as
sociates have literally deluged her
with showers of various sorts for the
past few weeks , and each of these
dainty events has led gracefully up to
the happy climax in which the whole
concourse of friends and kinsmen had
gracious part.
As the hour of 8 o'clock struck last
evening the wedding party entered
the portals of Grace Church, and to
the strains of the beautiful "Swedish
Wedding March," splendidly rendered
by Miss Carrie Short, as crjanist,
swept to the chancel rails where they
were met by Rev. William Seymour
Short, rector of the parish, who, in
the inspiring and impressive terms of
the ritual of that faith, made them
! man and wife.
Lona before they appeared the old
church was crowded to its utter limit
by the wealth and fashion of Astoria,
and the superb gowning of the ladies
lent additional charm to the exquisite
decorations of the edifice; only the
aisles were kept clear, every available
inch of space being given over to
,,. hunlanitv
The church was
- beautifully adorned with

S Brown and W. T. Logan.
At the close of the ceremony the
bridal party was driven directly to
the handsome and spacious home of
Mr. and Mrs. Foard, on the crest ot
Seventeenth street, and were quickly
followed by the hundreds that had
thronged the church, beside those
who had waited to pay their respects
at the reception.
The reception was in almost in
stant progress and was the medium
for the expression of the devoted in
terest which possessed every friend
of the popular family in Astoria, and
was one of the happiest affairs ever
noted here.
The decorations at the Foard home
were extremely beautiful and artistic.
The reception rooms were a mass of
pink and white roses with the dining
room in yellow. An orchestra hid
den behind a flower screen discoursed
sweet music during the progress of
the reception. In the receiving line
stood the bride and groom, Mr. and
Mrs, Joseph Smith, Mr. and Mrs.
Martin Foard and Miss Mildrfed
Smith. The bride's gown was an ex
quisite creation of white marquisette
"in traine" with trimmings of Duch
ess lace. The veil was held in place
with a wreath of orange blossoms.

carnations. The brides maids, . Miss
Martha Foard, Miss Meta Peterson
of San Francisco; Miss Jones of Ta
coma and Miss Hulbcrt of Seattle,
were in white over blue and car
ried white carnations. The flower
girl little Miss Helen Virginia Hous
ton was in pink. Fully 300 guests
thronged the home, all joining in con
gratulations and well wishes for the
happy young couple. The presents
were displayed in two upper rooms
and they were filled to overflowing.
Everything that love and thoughtful
ness could devise, was represented,
cut-glass, silverware, hand-painted
china, dainty and finest of table linen,
embroidered doilies, Mexican and
Japanese drawn work, lunch clothes,

MISS HARPER'S "MAGDA."
hi- r 1 1 1
Clever Actress at Astoria Theatre
Pleases Audience in an In
teresting Play.
Those who saw Miss Georgia Har
per's "Magda" at the Astoria last
night left the theatre with the con
viction that they had seen a clever
woman in a fine part. Miss Harper's
"Magda" is artistic arid polished.
Her work in the third act is master
ful. She is so easily in command of
the strong scene, when it rises to its
climax, the action does not find her
blindlv after it, but in full
nnwer of everv word and action. The
role of Magda demands emotionalism
of the right sort and Miss Harper has
it. When it is said that she is a suc
ress in this olav the full story has
been told and elaboration there upon
adds nothing. Aside from her ability
to act she knows how to dress, and
gowns that caused admiration were
shown as the play progressed. J. j.
Harper, as the father of Magda, was
good and his several scenes with
Magda were handled in an artistic
manner. The quite, gentle and for
trivinflr nastor became a hero in the
hands of Mr. Detrick and the part of
Herr Von Keller was played with
good judgment by Melvin Mayo,
ill he nresented aizain to
night, this will be the last opportunity
to see it. as the bill will be changed
to "Oh, What a Night," Thursday
evening.
