a FASHIONABLE WEDDING.
Marriage of Miss Flla Gibbons
ana Rev. A. X. Fenton.

Marriage of Miss Ella GIBBONS
and IteV. A. X. FenJOn.
Since Easter Christ Church has
not presented SO beautiful an ap-
pearance as it did yesterday after
noon on the occasion of the sol
emnization of the marriage be-
tween Rev. Arthur Kirby Fenton,
of Lorentz, w. Va, and Miss Ella
Jane Gibbons, of this city. And
the resemblance was not only in
the taste, the harmony and the ap-
preparedness of the floral decora-
lions, but extended to the congre-
CATION, which could be taken to be
representative of Point Peasants
best society.
The chancel and the-choir we're
embowered in the choicest flowers
and foliage that even this rich sea-
son of the year affords, arranged
With an unstudied symphony, and
SO that the eye was ever gratified
by some delicate admixture of
bright tints or restful clusters of
green leaves, of trailing vines and
spreading palms and tender ferns.
A wedding bell of white and green
hung suspended from the centre of
the arch above the chancel rail.
The church was thrown open at
half past three o'clock and from
that time until the ceremony be-
gan the ushers had more than they
could do to find seats for the ex-
pectant throng.
Punctually at the appointed
hour, half past four, the Rev. A.
Ct. Grinnan took up his position
and in a few minutes the delicious
strains of Mendelssohn's immortal
Wedding March, played as only
Mrs. w. j. Holt can play it, an
nounced the approach of the bride
and her attendants. Preceded by
the ushers, who were Messrs.
Rankin Wiley, S. ii. Reynolds, q.
w. Striking and Jas. M. Hooff,
the bride proceeded up the aisle,
leaning on the arm of Mr.. A. @.
Van Glider, who was to act
IN loco PARENTS, and attended by
her bridesmaid, her sister, Miss
Alberta Gibbons. They reached the
chancel rail at the same moment
that the bridegroom, attended by
Rev. DIR. r. d. Roller, of Charles
ton, emerged from the vestry and
came forward to meet the bride
elect.
i The beautiful marriage service Of
the Episcopal Church was then
impressively read by the Rector OF
the parish, to the accompaniment
of music softly played, and SO az
to occasion the most pleasurable
emotions, by Mrs. Holt. The Ger.
emony ended Mrs. Fenton wal
wished every happiness by Mr.
Grinnan, and those nearest her
and taking her husbands arm she
passed down the aisle and to tn,
carriage in waiting, which convey
ed her to her mothers home, wher,
an informal lunch was partaken o
by the members Of the family, thu
church choir and theushers. Her,
also the presents were displayec
which were very numerous anc
many of them costly. while al
were appropriate and indicative o
the high esteem in which boil
bride and groom are held by al
who know them.
The bride wore most becoming
travelling costume of dark drab. Sc
off by small punches of violets il
her hat. Miss Alberta Gibbonl
wore an elegant toilette of cream
cashmere.
Its understood that MIR. anc
Mrs. Fenton viii leave shortly
for Cincinnati, whence they
I will proceed for a honeymoon triI
to Florida, and withersoever they
] go afterwards they VIII carry with
them the heartiest wishes for live
long felicity from hosts of friends
