Pudding-Personal.
AS the shadows were frightening In the
old churchyard of st. Johns on last
Tuesday afternoon, a very lovely mar
rage ceremony was being enacted in the
church itself the contracting parties
being Miss Lula Seabrook Butler and Mr..
James Edward Fitzwison. The church
was beautifully decorated with palms and
pink roses; mellow light was
shed by the lamps, which were placed
among the palms. Preceding the bride
were the eight ushers, who passed up
either aisle in twos. The bride and her
maid Of honor, Miss Minnie Butler, used
the left aisle, while the groom and his
brother, Mr.. William Gordon Fitzwison,
who acted as best man, used the right
aisle in going 10 the chancel. Under the
skilful and dainty touch of the efficient
organist, Miss Betty Fitzwilson, who is
an aunt OF the groom, Mendelssohn's
wedding march never sounded more love
ly than on this occasion, when the bridal
party entered. A half circle was formed
as they met at the chancel, where the
Rev. L. w. Burton read in his impressive
manner the beautiful marriage service OF
the Episcopal Church. The bride was
gowned in dark brown cloth, trimmed in
gold passemenetrie and darker shade Of
velvet. with hat and gloves TO match. Her
flowers were La France roses. Miss Min
ME Butler, sister of the bride, wore
electric blue cloth and carried crysanthe-

Perhaps sufficient mention has already
been made OF The entertainment given at

but | think some Of the programme was
rendered in such way as 10 deserve
special mention. Miss Fanny Murray's
vocal solo was very taking" IT being a
medley which ended with the now popular
words, Tara ra BooTn-de-aye." The
