u
B0OTn-KELso -Silvery wedding
bells rang out Wednesday auuOunc.
ing that two loving hearts were to
be plighted one to another. One
strong as the elm in his devotion to
her who was to flood his coming
years with her tenderness ard per-
feet love, while she was as the vine,
clinging to him as the protector,
who 10 the golden days would stay
ali sorrow, that cart hly power can
Withhold from her, through the
beautiful days that are filed with
mutual love, trust and alteration.
The First Presbyterian church had
been converted into a rose bower, by
Mesdames Leary and Swindell. The
choir loft had been screened off,
forming the back ground for the
placement of the rarest exotics,
palms and cutfowers. From a side
arch was suspended the floral we'd
ding bells, which in a typical way
would ever ring out the good wish
es of the host of friends of Mary
and Will. Above their heads
caught by long streamers of tulle
was a shower bouquet, that whis-
pered in its sweetness, Of the hope
that through their journey of life,
each day would be roseate with its
fragrance and success. The lights
turned low, we're given an added
beauty by the light from the wax
tapers, that burned among the ev-
ergreeus. Above the decorations
and lights there appeared an angelin
the attitude of prayer,in the person
of little Rachill Roseborough. The
days will be many ere the perfect
picture will fade from the memory
OF those present. When the nup-
tial hour had arrived the choir, un-
der the direction of Mr.. j A, Rich
ardSon, rendered Lohengrin's we'd
ding march. The ushers, Messrs
Kane, Kuhl, Patterson and Massen-
burg, marched to the altar, two on
either side, forming semi circle.
The bride was accompanied to the
altar by her sister, Mrs, Brewer
while Mr.. Brewer escorted Mr.
Booth. Revs. Forbes and lhomp-
son officiated During the cere-
mony, that most beautiful singer,
Mrs. ] NJ. Carter, sang "Oh Prom
Use Me, in tones of the loveliest
harmony, After the concluding
prayer, the choir chanted the Lords
prayer in hushed tones, giving to
the ceremony a solemnity that was
touching and tender. Miss Kelso
for four years has reigned like
queen in the social realm. "She
was good as she was fair, none on
earth above her; AS pure in thought
as angels are, to know her was to
love her" Many testimonials Of
the esteem and love in which she
is held were showered upon her.
The florists contributed their palms,
ferns and flowers, while the yards
of Mesdames Evans, Harris, Dalby,
Webb and Buchanan were disman-
tied of their beautiful flowers, to do
tribute to this favorite OF ours. Her
gown was one of the handsomest
ever worn in the city, being of i'm
ported blue cloth with full Persian
silk vest. The popular Eaton
Jacket was made thing of beauty,
with its white satin Jonans, covered
with white lace. The picture hat
of navy blue velvet ornamental
with two toned ribbons coque feath-
ers and cut steel ornaments. Mrs.
Brewer was most attractive in
gown of fur toned Beetroot sill,
green velvet and oriental lace trim.

tions have always been such as to

particular has he fulfilled the trust
