FAY - BARTLEY.

A Pretty Home Wedding That Took Place Last Evening.

There was a pretty home wedding last evening at the residence of Mr.
and Mrs. Robert B. Bartley, 1216 Seventh avenue.  It was the occasion
of the marriage of their daughter Miss Elizabeth J. Bartley to Mr.
Jesse M. Fay, who has charge of one of the departments in the store of
William F. Gable & Co.

The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. Ellis Bell, pastor of the Eighth
Avenue Methodist Episcopal church, assisted by Rev. J. W. Bain, pastor
of the First Presbyterian church, at 8 o'clock.  The front parlor of
the pleasant home was suitably decorated for the occasion.  The bride
wore a light organdie costume trimmed in lace and ribbons.  She
carried a bouquet of white roses.  The bridesmaid, Miss Hattie
Bartley, sister of the bride, was dressed in white organdie over blue.
The groomsman was Mr. Maxwell K. Fay, bnrother of the groom.
Lohengrin's wedding march was played by Miss Mabel  Hall, of
Lancaster.

Immediately after the ceremony the seventy-five guests present sat
down to a sumptuous wedding dinner served by Mal. Stewart.

Both of the young people are well known in the city.  Miss Bartley has
been a successful teacher in the public schools and she is eminently
fitted to preside over a home.  Mr. Fay is a successful and energetic
young man.  The newly married couple will be at home to their friends
after September 1, at 1312 Fifth avenue, where a completely furnished
home of their own awaits them.

Mr. and Mrs. Fay received many handsome and useful presents.  A room
set apart for the gifts was filled with these testimonials of esteem
from relatives and friends.
