BRILLIANT WEDDING

Nuptials of Miss Kaier and Mr. Haughney

Ceremony at St. Canicus Church,

Elegant Reception at Home of Bribe - Some of the Toilettes

______________________________________________

One of the most brilliant events that ever took place in Mahanoy City was the

marriage of Miss Josephine Kaier, daughter of our influential and highly

respected townsma, Mr. Chas. D. Kaier, to Mr. Michael J. Haughney, one of

our most prominent young men Thursday last.  The wedding ceremony was

performed in the St. Canicus Catholic Church, and Revered Hannigan

officiated.  Long before the designated arrival of the bridal party, people

winded their way to the church, and when the carriages containing  the bride,

groom and relatives arrived, the large edifice was filled to overflowing, with the

elite of town.  Prof. Becher, of Pottsville, was present to play the wedding march,

but owing to a misunderstanding between Rev. McEnroe and Mr. C. D. Kaier,

the usual wedding march was omitted.  The bride, leaning upon the arm of the

groom entered  the church and she presented a beautiful appearance in a

costly bridal dress of pearl white Bengaline with pearls and duchess lace,

veil and wreath.  She carried a bouquet of bridal roses, and the only diamonds

worn by the bride were those presented by Mr. and Mrs. Kaier.  When they

formed for the procession to the altar, the bride and groom were preceded by

Messrs. Paul Dunn, of Mahanoy City, and John Reilly Jr., of Shenandoah,

groomsmen, and Misses Maggie Kaier and Mary Haughney, bridesmaids,

together with the ushers, Dr. Curry, of Philadelphia, Mr. Osborne, of Atlantic

City, Mr. George Johnson and Mr. Tom Dunn, of Mahanoy City, Miss Millie

Kaier and May Reilly, flower girls.  As they proceeded up the aisle, the party

presented a striking appearance and many exclamations of "ohs" and "ahs"

were heard from all sides.

    Miss Maggie Kaier looked lovely in a costume of salmon Florentine silk, cut

entrain, with ostrich feathers. and a wreath of pink roses and smilax.  She wore a

pretty set of diamonds which showed to great advantage, and together with Miss

Mary Haughney, who was attired in a lavender Florentine cut entrain with jewel-

lace, cream roses, and diamonds, made very attractive bridesmaids.  Miss Millie

Kaier was tastily attired in pale blue India silk, as was also Miss Mae Reilly, of

Shenandoah, in pale pink India silk.

   Each of the latter carried a basket of roses, which they scattered in the path of

the bride and groom.  Rev. Hannigan met the party at the altar, and in the

solemn service of the church pronounced them man and wife.  Mr. and Mrs.

Haughney, together with intimate relatives and friends, entered carriages and

were driven to the elegantly appointed home of Mr Chas. D. Kaier, where a

reception and dinner took place.  The spacious rooms were all filled with guests

and here very pretty gowns were seen.  Mrs. C. D. Kaier, dressed in a very

becoming gown of black silk faille, with Irish point lace, and a pretty set of

diamonds, received the guests in the lower hall.  At her side was Mrs.

[page 2]

Lieberman in black Her [?????] with ribbon and black silk lace and diamonds,

entertaining some friends very pleasantly.   Miss Mamie Kaier in white India silk

with lace and ribbon, and Miss Theresa Kaier, in Irish point lace and ribbon,

attended to the entertainment of the young ladies, while Charles Kaier Jr.,

looked after the wishes of his young friends in an able manner.  Miss Ella

Haughney wore a pretty gown of white China silk, with train, velvet ribbon and

point lace, and nearby was Mrs.M. T. O'Conner in black China silk, ribbon and

train.  Miss Maud Haughney wore white China silk with pearl neck-lace and

pink  roses and Mrs. K. Haughney, the mother of the groom, was quite noticeable

in a gown of black silk and point lace.  In a corner of one room, Miss Mame

Flynn of Conshohocken, dressed in a pale blue Josephine costume with

diamonds, and Miss Katie McHale,  Pottsville, in cream satin with point lace,

crimson velvet and diamonds, chatted pleasantly with an admiring group.  Miss

Magdalene McHale, Pottsville, wore silk crepe with roses and diamonds, and

Mrs. Erhart was there in black silk lace.  Miss May Osborne was greatly admired

in a netted Swiss, with pale blue ribbon and flowers, and Miss Ella Darrah, of

Reading, wore cream China silk, lace and ribbon.

   The singing of Miss K.C. Leisz of New York, who dressed in cream India silk,

Irish lace, lavender ribbon and diamonds, and that of Mrs. W. Potts Ramsey, in

twilled India silk with print de gene lace, was one of the features of the afternoon. 

Mrs. Rogers of Staten Island, was attired in a beguiling gown of iridescent moire

with jewel braid and diamonds. Miss Kate Cleary of Pottsville, was there in black

silk, cream lace and flowers, with Miss Birmingham, of the same place, in

equip [??] gee and Nile green velvet.  Miss Nellie Reilly, of Pottsville, in white silk, silk lace and

ribbons and diamonds, and Miss Fisher of Pottsville, in a pink silk costume with her sister

Miss Ella in white China silk, and Miss Nellie Reilly of

Shenandoah, in white silk with tuille, made up a quartette of very pretty and

attractive looking ladies on one of the porches. This party was chaperoned by

Mrs. B. Reilly, of Pottsville, in black lace, Mrs. Fisher of Pottsville, in black silk

and Mrs. J. A. Reilly of Shenandoah in heliotrope China  silk.  Mrs. Jas. [??]iffy

of Ashland, looked very pretty in a gown of garnet French lawn, with ribbons

and flowers to match.  Miss Murphy of Centralia, was tastily attired in a tan

crepe, with cream silk lace and diamonds, and her sister Miss Maggie Murphy

had a gown of the same color.  Mrs. Peacock, of Pottsville, had a costume of

heavy black lace trimmed in in rose trimmings and wore diamonds. Mrs John

Adams wore a very becoming gown of black Renodine, trimmed with jet black

lace.

   At 1:45 pm Schoppe's orchestra, of Shenandoah, with ten pieces, played the

march and the bridal party procession headed to the banquet hall.  In the yard

directly in the rear of the house, a large platform had been erected and it was

overspread with canvas to shield the guests from the warm rays of the sun. 

Here the guests sat down to an elegant collation under the supervision of Jos.

Bickert, caterer.   The waiters were under the control of Mr. Ed Hennessey of

Beckert's cafe, and the satisfactory manner in which they attended to the wants

of the large crowd present was very noticeable. During the repast, the orchestra

receptions ever held in town and a very enjoyable time was had by all present.
