Institute class of 1906. This time the chosen one is Mary Branch
Glasgow, niece of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Branch of Webster Groves....
"Her wedding to Mr. Leland Chivvis will be solemnized Sept. 25 at 4
o'clock, at her residence on 200 Church street, Webster Groves. It
will be a quiet affair with Miss Ellen Glasgow as maid of honor and
Misses Anne Cushing, Eleanor Williams and Ruth Chivvis as bridesmaids.
As best man, Mr. Chivvis will have his brother Norman, and as
groomsman, Harry Castian, George Lane and William Carson.
"Mr. Chivvis I do not know personally but I am sure that had I known
him well and for a long time, I could not pay him a greater compliment
than to say 'He won Mary.'"

"The marriage of Miss Mary Branch Glasgow and Leland Chivvis took
place at the home of the bride's uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Branch, in Webster Groves, yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
'Rev. Edmund Duckworth, rector of the Church of the Redeemer, St.
Louis, officiated, and the attendants were Miss Ellen Glasgow, sister
of the bride, who was maid of honor; Misses Ruth Chivvis, sister of
the bridegroom; Eleanor Williams and Anne Cushing. Norman Chivvis
acted as best man for the brodegroom, and the groomsmen were William
Carson, George lane and Harry Castlan. The bride was given in
marriage by her brother, Charles Glasgow of Tucson, Ariz., who came to
St. Louis a few days ago.
"About 150 guests were present, all relatives and close friends, all
being invited for the ceremony as well as for the reception which
followed.
"The bride was attired in white brocade crepe draped over a petticoat
of heavy charmeuse. The bodice was of tulle and pointe de Venice
lace, and the same lace adorned the skirt. Her tulle veil was
arranged in cap effect with a frill of lace matching that on her gown,
and her bouquet was a shower of [?] roses and lilies of the valley.
Miss Glasgow wore white shadow lace over white messaline, with wreaths
of tiny pink rosebuds used to trim the bodice.
"The bridesmaids' gowns were alike, being also of shadow lace with
drapery of pale-blue chiffon. All carried sheaves of pink Killarney
roses. The house throughout was decorated with Killarney roses and
ferns, and bride's table having in addition clusters of lilies of the
valley and roses tied with bows of bridal veiling. After the
reception Mr. and Mrs. Chivvis departed for a wedding journey, the
objective point of which they did not announce. They will visit with
Mr. and Mrs. Branch until they settle upon a residence in St. Louis."
