The wedding of Miss Faye Wolfe, daughter of Judge and Mrs. Norman M. Wolfe, of Washington avenue, and Allen Bond, was solemnized last evening before the altar of the First Presbyterian church in the presence of 200 invited guests and relatives. The beautiful altar and choir loft of the church were decorated with hedges of palms and green fern while great bunches of snowy peonies gleamed in the pale light of the dusk and the cathedral candles which were placed in clusters at the altar. A stringed orchestra played very softly several numbers as a prelude while the guests were being seated. Following this Miss Marjorie Glover, in her very pleasing voice, sang Because I Love You Dear and At Dawn.

There has seldom been a bride in the city who has been more feted and dined than has this popular bride, the affairs given in her honor extending over a period of four weeks and included an evening bridge, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Herring; a coffee bridge, Miss Ritter; a luncheon-bridge, Misses Carpenter; a luncheon-bridge, Miss Mecklem; a tea, Mrs. Charles W. Conklin; a luncheon-bridge, Miss Tracy; an afternoon auction, Mrs. W. S. Kerr and Mrs. Hoyt Ford; a luncheon, Mrs. Edward B. Snyder; supper-party, Mr. and Mrs. Avery C. Hand. Mr. Bond who for the past five years has been connected with the Ohio Brass company, was formerly of Dayton and during his few years in Mansfield has won many warm friends both in social and business circles. He is a graduate of Ohio State university.

The ushers on the north and south aisles were Frank C. Wilbee, Jean Kinder, Jay Palmer, Dr. G. W. Kenson, Carl P. Liebold, of Houston, Tex., John Morgan, of Blueville, Va.

Promptly at the stroke of the half hour, the orchestra sounded the opening notes of Lohengrin and Mr. Bond, with his best man, Fred W. Wolfe, preceded by the Rev. E. M. McMillin advanced to the altar to await the coming of the bride. Miss Margaret Ritter, the only attendant, made a lovely picture as she advanced down the aisle wearing a gown of white lace over a foundation of stiff taffeta and carrying a bouquet of pink sweet peas made in a shower, these falling in dainty profusion over her arm. Then came the bride, beautiful in her simple wedding gown of white lace and chiffon over a foundation of soft, white satin made quite short. A filmy bridal veil of the Juliet style and a great shower of pure white sweet peas completed the picture of a very lovely bride. Miss Glover wore a dainty little frock of shell pink taffeta and lace and wore a corsage of deep red rose buds.

The impressive ring service was used and their vows were received by the Rev. McMillin.

A reception for the bridal party, relatives and a very few close friends was held at the home after the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Wolfe, Mr. and Mrs. Bond and Dr. and Mrs. G. W. Kenson receiving. The bride's table was beautifully decorated with pale pink roses and pink peonies, these being arranged with a mass of filmy tulle and pink butterfly bows.

Mr. and Mrs. Bond with all the bridal party motored to Galion whence they took a late train for the south. They will spend two weeks among the mountains of Virginia, stopping at Roanoke, and Norfolk, Va., and Dayton. The guests from a distance were Wilbur Bond, father of the groom, Mr. and Mrs. Bond, of Dayton, grandparents of the groom, Florence Evans, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer E. Leiter, of Toledo, Miss Rosabel Loney, of Mr. Vernon, Carl Liebold, of Texas, John Morgan, of Bluefield, Va., Mr. and Mrs. Hobart Wolfe of Lucas. On their return to Mansfield they will be at home to their friends in the Niman apartments, Park avenue west.
