BRILLIANT NUPTIALS.
Trinity Church Decorated With
Lovely Flowers.
The Boddie- Williams Marriage and Re-
oeption Pronounced the Society
Event OF the Season.

Trinity church never, perhaps,
held a larger crowd than the one that
assembled there last evening to Wit
ness the marriage OF N. Y. Boddie
and Miss Frances Brennan Williams.
Every available seat was occupied
and standing room in the aisles was
at premium. The church decora.
tons, superintendent by Misses Sem
pie Pettis, Louise Beaumont and
Mamie johnson, were tasty, elegant
and elaborate. The idea conceived
by the young ladies was unique and
original, An arch of evergreens
reaching from the chancel to the
chandelier was placed in front of the
altar. Swinging from the summit Of
this arch was an umbrella of pure
white flowers and beneath the UNI
brella the white dove, the emblem of
the Holy Spirit, f1uttering over the
gate to the arch. On either shutter
of@the gate were the initials "B-W"
(Boddie- Willlams), also in pure
white. AS the candidates approachtd
the altar the gate was thrown open
and they passed through-intO new
life. To the right and to the left of
the main arch were others similar
but not 50 large, made of evergreens.
The steps and lictern were decorated
with palms and smilax, while the
font and altar vases were decorated
with white flowers. The decorations
were universally complimented by
the large audience, and the young
ladies who superintended the work
are to be congratulated on their sue
cess.
The bridal party was somewhat
tardy in making its appearance and
there was some impotence manifest
ed by the eager crowd. They ar
rived about $3.50, however. Tn e
ushels preceded the party, followed
by Miss Sadie Dunlop, the maid of
honor. Then came the bride, attired
in white, leaning on the arm of her
brother, Harry Williams. They
were met at the chancel rail by the
groom, and his brother, J. Il. Boddie,
who acted as best man. The i'm
pressive marriage ceremony of the
church was said by Rev.
w. M. Pettis and the party left for
Tip Top, the home of Mrs. Matte |
Dunlop on East Madison, where an
elegant reception was rendered |
the bride and groom.
