OF discussion in society circles for many
weeks. Mr.. Peters is a successful and
worthy young business man, handsome in
person and very popular among all his
acquaintance. Miss Maggie Woodbridge
has been q universal favorite with old

ing friends. Her beauty Of person cor.
responding to q character OF rare amia-
bility and fine sense, together with every
accomplishment aud grace, rendered her
the charm Of an unusually large circle
of friends.
The marriage took place at DR.. Walks
church, and the ceremony vas performed
by DR.. Walk at half-past ten O'Clock this
morRing. The bridal cortegs drove up
to the church door on time, and on en-.
tering a scene Of rare beauty and taste
was presented. The church had been
most exquisitely decorated with ever
green's of fern.like appearance and white
flowers. In the Lrch over the altar
place the white and the green we're har.
monized with charming effect. From
the center suspended a floral device of
many colors worked into a cross mon
ogram " W. p" and anchor all in one
piece. On either side appeared floating
in the air a white dove. In the back
ground was q luxurisnt and profuse
growth Of rare lilies, and above this an.
other monogram Of m~any-colored flow
ers. These and other floral decorations
about the altar as we'll as in the main
body Of the church, were the object Of
universal attention and complimentary
remark. We understand this work was
all done under the direction Of Mrs.
Colonel Enoch Ensley.
The attendants came in alternate
couples down the right and left aisles, first
on n side and then on the other, and
not in solid columns as is usual, Messrs.

Then came the fair, lovely bride, lean.

dressed in q rich gray travelling suit,
with hat and jewelry to correspond. Last
Of all csme the minister escorted by one
Of the ushers. Prof. Perring sat at the
organ and under bis magic touch il peal
ed a joyful chime. The ceremony be.
meath the floral arch, cross and anchor
was solemn, impressive and beautiful.
At its conclusion the gallant groom an
tieipated the usual ministerial kiss and
performed that function in highly spir-
tied manner, which was universally ap-
proved and slightly applauded. Then
the party, followed closely by the i'm
mense and ~fashionably dressed audience,
slowly filed out.
