Richland, September 17.-Rarely has
Richland society witnessed more beau
tiful wedding than chat which took place
in our little village Tuesday afternoon,
September IL, when Miss Mary Elizabeth
Hughs and Robert Edward Bowen were
united in marriage. The modest, but
always hospitable little home, wore quite
festive air 70, the occasion, the three
front rooms oeing adorned with festoons
of green and white--nature's own floral
Offering. AT one end OF the parlor a va
riety of green plants were massed with
excellent effect. Just over this was con-
structed an arch, beneath which the
bridal couple stood, while two inter
woven hearts were suspended above their
heads.
The thrilling strains of the bridal
march, from Wagner's Lohengrin, grace
fully rendered by Miss Lalla Balleuger,
announced the approach of the wedding
party. The two bridesmaids, Misses
Ida Bowen and Annie Hughs, entered
first. They were prettily attired in
white costumes. with green girdles, and
carried bouquets of dainty asparagus
fern and white roses. They were fol-
lowed by the dame of honor, Mrs, T. B.
Norris, who wore very becoming and
handsome toilet of green. Then came
the maid of honor, Miss Geraldine Hughs,
sister of the bride, dressed in filmy white
over green. The bride entered on the
arm of the groom. Ever fair and at
tractive. she was radiantly beautiful to-
day in her bridal array, an exquisite ore
,, alton of white silk and lace. Over this
! fell the soft, dainty folds of the veil,
which was adjusted by spray of orange
blossoms. Her only ornament was a
handsome sunburst of pearls, the gift of
the groom.
The marriage service was performed in
an impressive style by Rev. D. w. Hiott,
of Easley
After the congratulations the guests
were invited to the lawn, which was
[ scattered with comfortable seats. At
one side of the lawn, from position
half concealed by overhanging boughs,
delicious frappe was dispensed from the
huge punch bowl by Misses Marion Coe
and Pearle Ballenger.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bowen are making their
home at Norris, where he is associated
with thriving lumber business.
