Of the best beloved great grandsons
Of the writer, the writer will trust
himself to say no more.
The ceremony was performed in the
drawing room, which was festoonel
very thickly, from ceiling to foot
board, with Chinese bamboo. The
mantels were piled high with holly
and mistletoe, their glossy leaves and
berries Of crimson and pearl cleaning
in the light Of hundreds Of burning.
tapers held in tall candlesticks, in
ancient silver candelabra and dozens
of improvised snow-white brackets
! against the walls. The gothic arch,
projecting three feet from the wall,
under which the officiating clergyman
stood, was an absolute miracle in
plans, ferns, holly, mistletoe, white
roses and carnations-real roses and
carnations. The bride and BRIDE
! groom were in front of the arch, on
white Persian rug: under a gigan-
tic wedding bell Of real white roses,
carnations and dropping plumosa. The
whole mansion was darkened and bril-
liantly illuminated. The bridal party
made a lovely and graceful picture as
they ascended the stairway to come
down again with the bride and BRIDE
groom.
The pretty and petite bride wore
the daintiest little frock imaginable
of pale, shimmering pearl-colored
crepe de Chinese, trimmed with cost
ly Chantilly lace and a passementerle
of pearl color with dash of ciel blue
in it. Her hat was a very moonlight
dream-pearl chiffon, ciel blue ma
lines, pearl and silver buckles and
huge roses of pearl and ciel blue. Her
fairy's fan was blue and silver and
pearl. Her bouquet was Of Kalserln
roses larger than her precious little
self. The maid Of honor and brides
maids wore very lovely suits Of costly
white broadcloth and huge white
Gainsboro hats with nodding white
plumes. It doesn't matter what the
bridegroom and his men Wore-just so
their limbs we're chastely covered with
black cloth and their glowing and
manly bosoms with white Marseilles.
They we're thus covered-en regle and
de rigeurs
The ceremony was performed with
real lofty majesty and holy solemnity
by the Rev. C. E. Burts, pastor Of
Edgefield's Baptist church. Mr..
James T. Bacon played the wedding
march. Lovely little Margery Tomp-

cousins of the little bride, united the
white satin ribbons that barred the
gothic arch and it's vicinity from pro-
fame steps.

The bridegroom on the arm Of his
hest man, Mr.: Fred H. Dominick df
Newberry. Then the sweet little

And Edgefeld and Newberry exuE-

God forever bless their young souls

The bridal presents, in number and
quality, were absolutely imperial.
