A little more than tie usual
amount Of the interest, which always
attaches to u wedding fell to this
one, owing to the fact that the tai
ented young groom was one of
West Feliciana's representatives in
the StNe Legislature and the dainty
little bride was a girl of singular
sweetness and charm.
The church decorations were in
charge Of DIR. Ii. Lotion, who de-
signed them snl assisted the ladies'
in carrying out his ideas with the
quantities of floral material sent
for the purpose. In front of the
altar there was all arch of white
flowers, and from it's keystone de-
pended a bell elaborated of the
choicest white roses and other
snowy flowers that the season af-
forded. The central arch was flank
ed Oh either side by other arches
which were composed Of, and gar
Landed with pink azaeas. The
altar rail was banked with flowers
and moss. The upper line of the
arches was outlined with tiny co..
Ored candles. The chanceI had
been cleared of its usual furniture,
aud the space left clear. There
were no other decora lions, save
that the immense arch at the en-
trance of the cbanccl was framed
in al arch of bamboo and vines,
surmounted at it's intrados by a
half circle of red roses, melting
into the gray of the lofty dome.
The bride, who is pretty, petite
and piquante, was at this solemn
event of her life even lovelier than
ever, and the vision that presented
itself when the church doors were
opened, at the first tones of the
wedding march, was one, which
might well remain as d sweet pic.
ture in ones memory forever. She
advanced up the aisle moving light
ly and leaning OIL her fathers arm.
Miss Nan Stirling preceded her at
maid of honor. 1t seemed fitting
that sisters so inseparatle in affec>
ton should thus be together. They
were met in the chancel by the
groom aud lis best man, his broth
e., MIR. Clarence Percy: and the
ceremony proceeded, the solemn
tones of the clergyman echoed a,
in the distance by a low murmur
from the great organ, played by
Mrs. o. Leonard.
The brides toilette was eyGuls

ty gauze, over white silk, EN- traine,
and deliberately fashioned with i'll

! the tulle OF her veil were delicale

oped her in a white mist, through
which her charming, arch, little
face and soft dark hair showed
all the prettier. Tier veil was faS
tened with white vi0lets, hefchosen
flower, and to her friends, typical
of her own maiden purity and
springstime sweetness. Her bou.
quet was of white roses. Miss
Nan Stirring wore an evening tot
lette Of white organdle, trimmed in
lace beading and ribbon. 1t was
made decoliete. Her flowers were
also white roses.
After the church ceremony. Mr.
and Mrs. Percy drove to Locust
Grove, the home of her faith er,
with whom they will reside.
Presents of every description
were literally showered upon the
young couple, testifylng mutely
but UNDERSTANDABLE of the love and
good wishes of their many friends
The groom is,a promising young
lawyer, and there is no limit to bis
capabilities if he continues to apply
his talents to his practice aud the
development of his public career
