FROM THE FLORA PAPER
MISS BELLE MABBITT TO MARRY ARTHUR ROBBINS AUGUST 20
At a jolly party given the members of the Tri-F club, of which she is a member, held at the home of her parents on East Main Street Wednesday evening, Miss Belle Mabbitt, one of the highly respected young ladies of the city announced her coming marriage to Arthur Robbins, well known young farmer of the Delphi vicinity. The home was prettily decorated with flowers and pink ribbons, while the center table in the dining room conveyed a faint view that Cupid existed somewhere in the near proximity. In the center of the table had been placed a large cut glass basket, filled with peanuts, neatly wrapped and inside of which were fortunes, from which a pink ribbon led to each of the 14 guest plates. After these had been opened Charles Eiler, acting as messenger boy for the "Cupid & Company Telegraph Company" knocked at the dining room door and asked for the president, Miss Esther Myer, to whom he handed a telegram which read: "Miss Belle Cathryn Mabbitt and Arthur Robbins Wednesday, August 20, 1919. Cupid." The news caused much surprise among the young ladies but after recovering their senses they all drank heartily to the new bride-to-be.
Miss Mabbitt, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Asa Mabbitt, is 20 years of age and came to this city about three years ago from near Young America. She is a member of the Presbyterian church and is endowed with a large circle of admiring young acquaintances. Mr. Robbins is a son of Mr. and Mrs. George Robbins, residing 3 miles northeast of Delphi and is twenty six years of age. The happy ceremony will be performed at the bride's home Wednesday evening at five o'clock by Rev. E. Leroy Steffey, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, and will be witnessed by sixteen specially invited guests.
Following a wedding supper that will be given in their honor the bride and groom will leave for a week's honeymoon at Niagara Falls, after which they will return to make their home with the latter's parents, who will later move to Delphi for residence, giving them full possession of the "nest". The Democrat joins with the many acquaintances and friends in extending congratulations in advance and is wishing them all the best that is to be had in their journey down the matrimonial stream.
