crown of tiger lilies, and in every
available corner tall bouquets of lilies
filled a place. The dining room was
trimmed with hanging clusters OF
gladiolus, while the hallway was
adorned with palms and an occasional
bunch of the tiger lilies. The wedding
supper was served in marquee pro-
fusely decorated with fruits and heavy
foliage that suggested the illusion OF
ar autumn arbor, while the brides
table was adorned with American
beauty roses. That is a reminder that
the American beauty shade figured in
the gowns worn by the bridal party,
as Miss Edith Simpson wore gown
in that shade with elaboration of lace
and the other attendant, Miss Ethel
Dean. wore a similar gown. There
was a touch of originality also that
might be mentioned in the description
of these gowns as both girls wore
short tulle wells. The bride wore the
conventional white satin with an en-
bellishment of old family lace and a
voluminous tulle veil and regulation
shower bouquet of stephsnotis and
lilies of the valley. Mrs. King wore
lavender satin. The rest of the bridal
party were Joseph King Jr., who filled
the Office of best man, and the four
ushers, Percy King. George Fuller,
Robert Eyre and Roy Pike.
The fact that Larry Harris wrote
The Damnedest Finest Ruins" has been
exploited not a little. but in truth the
bridegroom is a clever fellow and has
made success in a literary and bust
ness way as well. The splendid gifts
from the Family club and that from
the Merchants Exchange club were
only two of the numerous testimonials,
