Isaac Nelson Rainey, entered the rear door Of the long living room and was met before the semi circle of palms ranged at the far end by the groom who entered from the hall with his best man. ---eut. Paul II. Fretz, U. $. A.
 The ribbons were borne by Dr. Rich mond Mckinney and J. w. S. Rhea
 Miss Raney was robed in hand some bridal toilette of real lace over chiffon and white satin. Her flowers were a shower of lilies of the valley and her veil was caught with the groom's gift, magnificent diamond brooch.
 A simple elegance had been observed in the decorations. Bride roses, maiden hair fern, and smilaX hung pendant from the chandeliers and were massed upon the mantel and stands in the room of ceremony The dining table was almost hidden by a wreath of smilax maiden hair fern, and pink roses. while the mantel buffet and chandeliers were in corre- spending effect.
 The wedding was arranged for this season owing to the fact that the groom's leave of absence is soon to expire After October 15, MT. and Mrs Ryden will be at home in Boston.
