Friends of the family and the con-
tracing parties had been invited in
large numbers, and when they ga
thered there the soft and many-col-
ored lights fell upon as much of
beauty and chivalry as ever met to
40 honor to a social function in the
history of Farmville. The goddess
of fashion had, with exquisite taste,
dictated the dress of the maidens,
in colors as delicate as those with
which Nature paints the lips Of the
lily. or makes beautiful the rose.
The matrons in gowns more sub
dued. and yet of finest fabric and
finish. moved about in stately grace
and dignity, while the cavaliers, in
full dress, were as gallant and CHI
various as were the knights of old.

family, performed the ceremony

and the brides twin sister, Miss Sal
