The decorations were very artistic anC
effective, a scheme Of pink and blu,
with green being used throughout. The
place of the ceremony, in the library,
was marked by an arch made Of smi-
lax and lafrance roses, at the top Of
which was hung a large bunch tied with
blue tulle and banked behind with a
forest effect of green interspersed with
tiny electric lights Over the curtains
and hangings festoons of lafrance roses
and smilax were hung. The reception
hall was adorned with superb bouquets
of pink roses on the piano, stands and
wedding register, which was kept by
Miss Bess Glasscock. The dining room
was especially beautiful, with huge
heart-shape wedding cake OF pink roses
and lilies OF the valley in the center OF
the table and four pink candles with
pink satin shades and tied with blue
tulle. The dome over the table was
also artistically decorated with pink
roses ant smilax with blue tulle bows
at each corner.
At the first strains OF the wedding
march by Mrs. Irene Dahnke the din
ing room doors were thrown open and
Rev. w. H. Shelter, OF the Lindell
Street Christian Church, OF Memphis,
entered the library followed by Mr..
White with Mr. Waddell Jackson, his
best man. Then came the flower bear
ers, little Annie James Morgan and
Paul Mailing, with pink and blue bas-
kets scattering rose petals on the bridal
path of white that was stretched from
the arch to the stairway, followed by
Miss Genevieve Mailing, the maid of
honor, walking alone. Her gown was
of blue crepe de chine with forget-me-
not trimming. She carried sheaf OF
lafrance roses tied with blue tulle. Then
came the bride with her sister, Mrs.
Julian Lee Sydnor, her matron, and
was beautiful in her wedding gown of
white chiffon over messaline with pearl
garniture, wearing the veil her mater
nal grandmother wore over fifty years
ago. She carried shower bouquet of
brides roses and lilies OF the valley.
Her ornaments were rare pearl neck
lace and pearl and heart pin. Mrs.
Sydnor's toilet was silver net over pink
