ders, and Mr.. Frank milford They
walked two and two up the aisle and,

MAID OF HONOR.
The maid of honor, Miss Evelyn Car

manner. Miss Garnett Is a beautiful
girl and was attired in gown of lilac
crepon, trimmed with white lace and
lilac ribbon. She wore a large white
leghorn hat. trimmed with white ostrich
tips and Violets and carried a bouquet
OF white carnations, tied with lilac ribbon.
Following her came the bride, leaning on
the arm OF her brother. Mr.. Claude

aside her dark robes. She wore a black
crepon dress, with lilac vest. covered
with black chiffon. small hat trimmed
with bird-of-paradise feathers and violets,
and carried bouquet OF bride roses, tied
with white ribbon. This somewhat un-
usual costume was singularly becoming
TO its wearer. tall and slender girl.
with smooth dark hair. dark eyes. and
brunette coloring. The bridal party was
met az the altar by the groom and his
best man. Mr.. Arthur Lee. of Hampton.
SOFT MUSIC.
The ceremony proceeded as usual, while
soft, low strains from the organ formed
an accompaniment OF melody for the
solemn words of the officiating clergyman
and the earnest responses OF the young
couple. Then the grand notes Of the
wedding march by Mendelssohn burst
forth. and the newly-wedded pair de-
scended the aisle. followed by their at
tendants and by the admiring glances and
hearty good wishes OF all the spectators.
Numerous and handsome presents testi-
NED TO the desire of many friends and
relatives TO express their cordial sentl-
ments and put their "god-speed" in some
tangible form
Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds left for Old
Point soon after the ceremony. where
they took steamer for Washington.
