The parlor was decorated with
festoons of holly, pot plants and
ferns, the color scheme being red
and green. From the four corners
of the room, and meeting in the CEN

cry. At the point of intersection was
a large tissue paper bell, surmounted
by four smaller ones of red. Directly
underneath this stood the bride and
groom during the ceremony. The

Immediately after the ceremony
and congratulations, the guests were
usfered into the dining room, where
an elegant breakfast was served to
them as they stood in a circle around
the table. The dining room was like
vision of fairy land with its deco
rations of green and white. Ropes
Of frosted foliage met over the CEN

covered beautifully hand-embroider-
ed linen, was further enhanced by
white candles, white chrysanthe-

two entwined hearts and letters
"M-W." After the breakfast had
been served by Miss Dora Mayes. a
sister, Miss Lizzie Marett, a cousin,
and Miss Emily Compton, an inti-
mate friend of the bride, much merri-
ment was had over the cutting of the
brides cake. The lucky persons be-
ing: Miss Ethel Marett, the ring;
Miss Dora Mayes, the thimble; and
Mirr Emily Compton, the coin. I'M
mediately after this, the bridal cou-
pie took their departure for Lavonia,
thence to Atlanta for short wedding
trip. They drove off amid plentiful
shower of rice, with the old shoe for
: full measure Of good luck.
In addition to the large number of
relatives of the bride and groom
there were present only few of the
most intimate friends Of the, bride.
Thus again are united In bonds of
holy matrimony children of South
Carolina and Georgia.
We wish for this union all that
may be had of happiness and useful
ness as together they go down the
paths of the future.
