Davies, Frank Hunter (Fo.dyce), Frank Roane, Tracy Mills; flower girls, Misses Josie Withers and Carrle Bocage; maid of honor, Miss Dollie Smith ]; bride accompanied by her brother in-law, Mr. Carl Chambers.
 Just before the bridal party entered the church, Miss Gertrude Mountjoy, of Charleston, H., in a soprano of rare sweetness, rendered As 1 Have Chosen You, a song most appropriate to the occasion. Mrs. Edward Bocage presided at the organ and to the sweet strains of sndellshon's march the party entered As the ushers reached the altar each took a position on his respective side and facing his part ner.

Miss Dollie Smith, Mr. Chambers and the bride marched between tue altar trail, the ushers following and taking positions be- tween the flower girls and theotbers.
