 We stand helpless and abashed be- fore any attempt to justly describe this lovely home wedding. Words are in- adequate to interpret or paint the af- fair in all it's charming completeness, and we must leave it with those fortu. nate ones who were present to nourish it's full enjoyment in elaborate detail and inspired conception.
 Coming, as it did. just after tue quiet days of Lent-during the week follow tug Easter-the season so lovely and poetical, so full of flowers, life and fresh beauty, when dame nature is bs- decked in her most fragrant and fas- cinatin9 garments. this wedding was indeed an inspiration, and served as a charming theme to divert our minds from the penitential days of fasting and worship.

Eugene Williams, best man. sspa. rating upon entering the narrow room and taking their stations on either side. followed by Miss Lucille Dye and Rob- ert Benson, Miss Claudia Mallory and Mir.
