ASHWORTH -- GILLILAND

   A beautiful wedding took place at the residence of Mrs. George W. Silsby, 1361 Yale street, yesterday at noon. The bride, Miss Mary Gilliland, is a native of Ohio, being the daughter of a retired banker and grandaughter of the Rev. W. H. Sutherland, of Cincinnati. The groom, Mr. E. Howard Ashworth, is a son of the late Col. Ashworth, of Lebanon, Tenn., and brother-in-law of the Hon. B. A. Enloe, of Tennessee. The bride’s gown was made of French chiffon, elaborately trimmed with lace. She wore a tulle veil and carried Bride roses. Little Florence Silsby, the only attendant, was beautifully dressed in white, and carried pink roses tied with [word missing] gauze ribbon. Rev. Samuel H. Greene, of Calvary Baptist Church, performed the ceremony underneath a bower of palms, roses, and cosmos.
   The floral decorations were artistically arranged, the color scheme in the parlor being white and green and in the dining room pink and green. After the ceremony a dainty breakfast was served. Mr. and Mrs. Ashworth left on an afternoon train for the West and South for an extended trip, visiting relatives and stopping on their return at St. Louis and the fair. They will be at home to their friends after November 1 at the Chapin, where they will reside while their new home near Cleveland Park is under construction.
