Boggs, the pastor of the church, Off

Despite the inclement weather the
sacred ediice was we'll filled long be-
fore the appointed hour. Along the
aisles and bordering the gallery and the
chancel were decorations of woodland
smilax and white roses, while around the
altar stately palms and ferns lifted their
graceful fronds.
Music was the fitting prelude to the
beautiful ceremony; and as over the
keys of his loved instrument the hands
of the organist strayed, and drew nearer
his theme, the melody seemed to repeat
the refrain of the old love song: Il
love thee--I love thee 'Tis all can

The bridesmaids and groomsmen pass
ed in couples down opposite aisles to
the altar, where half-circle was formed.
A becoming touch of color was given
to the beautiful white costumes of the
maids by pink ostrich tips in the hair,
pink girdles and bouquets of La France
roses. The color effect was carried out
in the dainty pink china silk gown of the
maid of honor, Miss George Stringfel-
low, sister of the bride, who was a pic
ture of girlish simplicity and prettiness
as she stood in the brilliant bridal
throng, her arms laden with fragrant

corsage, garnished with ropes of white
chenille and Hoiton lace motifs, caught
with sprays of lilies Of the valley, was
by directoire girdle set off
with broad sash ends that reached to
the hem Of the train. The long veil of
illusion was becomingly arrayed over
coronet of silk wire, fastened with lilies
Of the valley.
