the home of the brides parents, Will
liam Scott Nicoll and Miss RATHER
inc Wilson Fleming, were married,

The house had been most tastefully
and prettily decorated for the occa-

color, and the verandas were lighted
by japanese lanterns. The ceremony
took place at the back of the parlor,
before a bank of green, interspersed
with pink Mexican creeper.
In each corner of the room was a
column of green, with pink flowers
entwined therein, and the piano was
banked by a mass of most beautiful
roses. Ropes of plumeria blossoms
extended overhead from different
parts of the room, meeting where the
bridal party stood, and the doors were
hung with rope portiers of green.
The most striking features of the
decorations were large punches of wa
ter lilies in the parlor and dining
room. and the beautiful roses every
where, the whole making a decidedly
! pleasing effect.

strains Of the Lohengrin Wedding
