groom was attended by Master Har-
ry Hickman of Wilmington, when
in a few minutes the impressive

bride was becomingly gowned in
white pelsain lawn deliberately
trimmed in lace and ribbon and
carried a shower boquet of bride
roses. The groom wore the conven.
tional black. The house was
beautifully decorated with potted
plants and pink carnations. A
collation. was served after congratu-
lation had been rendered. The

beautiful presents, consisting of
cut glass, solid silver, fine china,
