artist of this city. and Miss Sophie Maud
McGehee, an accomplished young lady OF
Bowling Green. KY. were married in
Grace Episcopal church of the latter
place yesterday at high noon. The we'd
ding, which was quite pretty one, had
attracted much attention in Kentucky,
as 1t had done here. both in social and
art circles.
The archdeacon Of the diocese, the Rev.
NJ. NJ. Benton, performed the ceremony.
The decorations of the church walls and
of the rails of the chancel were golden
rod and garlands Of red and green Vir-
| ginia creepers. Great punches OF golden
rod stood within the chancel rail. and the
reading desk and table were almost hid
from view under their covering Of vines
and flowers. Six young girls in street
dresses and wearing Gainsborough hats,
ushered in the many friends Of both bride
and groom. Then. when all were seated,
| the bride came up the aisle leaning on
the arm Of her brother-in-law, Mr.. C. G..
Fields, of Fulton, KY, and attended by
her sister. Miss Pearl Garth McGehee,
while Professor w. +. Knowenberg, Of
| Louisville, filled the church with the in
| spring music of Mendelssohn's grand
| wedding march. AS the bride reached
the altar the music stopped and Mr.. Han
| kins entering, the marriage vows were
given and taken.
The bride looked very handsome In her
brown travelling dress, while her sister,
was attired in a becoming costume Of
green satin cloth.
Among the distinguished visitors pres
ent were Hon. Richard Tyler, of Hick-
man, KY; Miss Susan Younglove, of
Johnstown, N. Y; Mr.. and Mrs. c. j.
Fields, of Fulton, KY, and Professor
w. F. Knowenberg. After the wedding
ceremony, the bride and groom left for
Nashville, where they will visit the Cen
tennial. Their plans afterwards are to
come to Richmond on Friday TO visit
several friends in the city, and finally to
settle i'm their home, lis east Broad
street. after the ID of November.
From all that report says of Mrs. Han
kins, ii is safe 10 prophesy that
she will win the esteem and admiration
of Richmond people as easily as her hus-
band has already done. Both bride and
groom have n wide reputation as intelll-
gent and talented artists.
