Earl Bingham Harris was announced about a year ago, has completed her wedding arrangements. The wedding is to be, as far as possible, exactly like her mother's. The invitations are almost reproductions, and the bride will wear her mother's wedding gown. The ceremony will be performed April 18th in the Church of the New Jerusalem, corner of Monroe Place and Clark Street, where Dr. and Mrs.

Pomeroy were married. That both grandfathers of the bride were members of this church gives an interesting tradition and background to the coming wedding, when one thinks of the modern migratory, families. There will be a small reception at the house of the bride's parents after the ceremony.
