to a large number of friends and the church was therefore crowded with handsomely dressed audience. The ceremony employed was the longer one of the Methodist Episcopal ritual, in cluding the ring service. Promptly at o'clock Mrs. Shirley Christy took her place at the large pipe organ and as the beautiful measures of the we'd ding march broke the perfect stiffness of the room Mrs. Helen s. Bury. tho mother of the bride. was escorted to seat in front of the pulpit by Mir. M. O. Bfcknell the cousin and nearest rel ative of the groom. Closely following came twenty young ladies as ushers who marched from the rear entrance through the central aisle and were seated in the choir loft. Next came twenty flower girls and boys daintily dressed bearing pretty bouquets. They were followed by the bridesmaid, Miss Katherine Christy who was attired in silk grenadine costume with pink trim mings and carrying a large bouquet. The ring bearer was little Vera Bick- nell and a few feet behind came the maid of honor. Miss Frances Bury. sister of the bride. She was dressed in silk chiffon with blue trimmings and also carried a bouquet. Next came the bride on the arm of her brother. Mr. Colin Bury, the brides train being sup ported by Lloyd Tritle and Eleanor Hulett, two little ones of two years each.
 The bride wore a lovely dress as novel as it was pretty. It is made of pine apple fiber with pearl trimmings and was sent from Manila by a very inti- mate friend. She wore the customary bridal veil and bore in her hand shower bouquet Of brides roses.
 As the bridal party reached the pull pit it was met by the groom and the best man, MT.

 At the conclusion of the ceremony the newly married faced the audience. the minister introduced them as MT. and Mrs. Reedy who would welcome them at the reception.

Masten and M. O. Bick- nell.
 The decorations at the reception rooms were in keeping with the same color scheme, white, blue and pink. The reception room was in white. the next room was in serice and from it the guests passed through an evergreen arch of great length into the hand some dining parlor which was dressed in pink. pink ribbons running from the corners of the table to the chandelier above.
