owENs---JARNAGIN.

The palatial home of Mr.. and Mrs. ].
f. Ames never looked more beautiful
than onthe evening of June the eleventh
when their cousin Miss Calvine Jarna.
gin was welded to Mr.. f. B. Owens.
This elegant home lends itself so per-
fectly to the decorators art, that it was
indeed scene of loneliness. The beau
tiful daisy chains intertwined with
ropes of feathery Wilderness, extended
from electroleer to electroleer, connect
ing parlor, library and reception hall.
In the hall the festoons extended from
the corners to the electroleer with a
beautiful white moline draped bell in
the center. The handsome ferns made
an artistic background for the bridal
party, who exactly at the appointed
hour, came down the broad stairway to
the strains Of Mendelsohn's March rem
dered by Miss Bessie Ferris. Misses
Annie McCaskill and Mildred Minor
preceded the bride and groom, the hap
Ply pair taking their stand directly under
the wedding bell, where they were pro-
nounced mar and wife by the Rev. Mr..
Thomas in most impressive ceremony.
Immediately after the marriage the
bride was showered with scores of
dainty little silver horseshoes from a
silver slipper, the guests each securing
a horseshoe as souvenir of this happy
occasion.
The bride was daintiness itself in an
exquisite creation of organdy and lace
over taffeta silk, with showers bou-
quet of carnations and ferns The
maids were lovely in their lace trimmed
silk gowns of snowy white with pink
roses and ferns. A most refreshing
ice course was served in the dainty
room, which was indeed a bower of
beauty, with its handsome furnishings,
cleaning silver and cut glass and ex-
quisite hand-painted china. The soft
light from the rose-shaded electroleers
shed glow of beauty over the table,
lovely with its cover of drawn work |
over pink satin duchess with the drap-
ing of moline and maiden hair fern
at the corners with beaut full
pink and white bows. The center piece
being a large cut glass basket filled
with daisies and ferns, rejecting it's
beauty in plateau, surrounded by the
maiden hair. On each corner were cut
glass bowls filled with pink and white
mint drops. The BRIDES cake with it's
fern and maine decorations was of
special interest to the young people.
The mirth and merriment was at its
height, as the young people tested
their fortune Miss Florence Bush was
the fortunate one to cut the ring,
signet with the date June 18th, 1907
Miss Annie McCaskill cutting the dime.
Miss Mable Sessions the needle, and
Sarah Fisher Ames the thimble.
This spacious colonial home, with its
broad verandahs, large rooms and ex-
5ensive halls was not the least crowded
with its handsomely dressed assem-
olage of two hundred guests.
The great number of beautiful and
handsome presents of cut glass, silver
etc. attested the wide popularity of
ibis young couple.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ames are charming in
heir hospitality and made the moments
ly all too fast for their guests.
The following were the out of town
guests: Mesdames J. w. Eckford, j. L.
Lucas and Miss Annie Shearer of
5tarkville, Mrs, Frank Stephenson of
Decatur, Mrs. Mahlon Brown of Tupe-
o and Mr.. Gus Minor of Shuqualak.
