August E. Baumer and Miss Jessie 

 Lauser, two of the best known young 

 people in the East End, were married 

 Thursday evening, June 11, at the Eng- 

 lish Lutheran church, at Highland and 

 Rubel avenues. The marriage ceremony 

 was pronounced by the Rev. A. C. Miller. 

 After the wedding an elaborate reception 

 was held at the home of the bride, where 

 many of the friends of the young people 

 gathered to extend their congratulations. 

 The groom is proprietor of a flower store 

 in the Masonic Theater building. The 

 bride is one of the prettiest and most 

 popular women of the East End. 



WASHINGTON. 



Capital Qty G>tnment. 



Last week was a busy one, especially 

 for the decorators. There were all kinds 

 of decorations, besides weddings. Stock 

 is poor, especially the carnations. Some 

 fine peonies from the north are to be 

 seen in some of the windows. Phlox is 

 plentiful and good, also the blue Jap- 

 anese iris. 



Z. D. Blackistone had the decoration 

 for the McKinley Manual Training 

 School. 



Gude Bros. Co., besides weddings, had 

 a unique decoration in one of our largest 

 churches for children's day, representing 

 a camp. A large number of oak and 

 cedar trees were used, with tents and a 

 15-foot flag pole, with a concealed motor 

 furnishing the breeze for the flag. This 

 firm also furnished all the plants and 

 arranged the palm garden on the steamer 

 Jamestown. 



J. II. Small & Sons had the Leiter- 

 Williams wedding. This was the notable 

 event of the week. The apartment at 

 the Connecticut, where the ceremony took 

 place, was banked with hundreds of Har- 

 risii lilies. Rauscher's Parlors, where the 

 reception and wedding breakfast took 

 place, was a bower of Beauties. Over 

 the doors was lattice work with Lady 

 Gay Rambler roses running up the side 

 and over the doors and windows. In the 

 bow window was a lattice arbor covered 

 with Lady Gay roses. Here the bride 

 and groom received. The bride's table 

 was heart-shaped and had a heart center- 

 piece made of Carnot roses and valley. 

 The eighteen smaller tables were done 

 in Lady Gay roses. 



Geo. Cooke reports business good. 



Mr. Robinson is wearing one of those 

 breakfast food smiles and says business 

 is so good he needs a rest. 



F. H. Kramer comes out with a double

$100,000 business. Last week he pur- 

 chased the store at the corner of Ninth 

 street and Grant place, formerly owned 

 by Walter T. Gordon. Miss Martena At- 

 well is in charge and will make good. 



Z. D. Blackistone has taken to street 

 car advertising: "Wedding bouquets, $3 

 and up; $2 for flat clusters worth $5 any 

 day in the year. ' ' 



This week will be a hummer. The 

 District High School commencements take 

 place June 17 and, with the number of 

 weddings on, everybody will be busy. 

 This practically closes the season in 

 Washington.
