friends and acquaintance had assem-.
bled at the Methodist Episcopal church
to witness the happy twain bow at the
hymenial altar. The church was beau
tifully decorated. A lovely arch spanned
each aisle, and two grand arches spread
their beautiful lowered arms over the
altar place. From one was suspended
the prophetic horseshoe, from the other
the mystic wedding bell. Soon arrived
the bridal party. The accomplished Or
gauist for the occasion, Miss Laura
Gibbs struck up the wedding march
from "Lohengrin," and they entered in
the order thus: First, the ushers,
six in number. They were Nessrs.

Il. Griffith, who formed In line be-
hind the altar. Then came three brides
maids and groomsmen-Miss Mamie

designs. The upper part of the dress
fitted closely over the shoulders to the

was filled with point lace daintily
frilled. This same rare material orna-
mented the train and the bottom OF the
