One of the prettiest, as well as
one of the most popular weddings

the First Presbyterian church, where
Miss Vallie Sutherland. daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Sutherland OF

The Presbyterian church was ar
tistically decorated in southern smi-
lax and white chrysanthemums. The
two professional aisles were can
vassed for the bridal party and
against the chancel rail were mass
ed vines and ferns and feathery
chrysanthemums. A large wedding
bell fashioned from these handsome
flowers and suspended by white rib
bons marked the place for the bride
and groom, while graceful arches
entwined with smilax and chrysan-
themums were on either side.
For the assembling of the guests
and family parties, Miss Abby Han
ma sang Loves Coronation" with
violin obligato by Mrs. Lester.
The ushers, Messrs. Arthur Kyle
and Don Russell, drew back the
ribbon from the family pews.
Promptly at $50 Mrs. Katherine
PEOPLES sent forth from the organ
the impressive wedding march from
Mendellsohn, as the bridesmaids
and groomsmen came down each
aisle.
First entered Miss Alma Sigmund
on the left aisle and Mr.. Louis
Boyd on the right, followed by
Miss Marie Travis and Mr. Rast
from Beaumont; Miss Grace Will
liams and Mr.. Cassidy, Miss Vera
Olive and Mr.. Buchanan, Miss Lena
Gardenhire and Mr.. Homer Hinkle,
Miss Lillian McNees and Mr.. Tom

best man. Mr.. ReGman, from Gal
weston, and the clergyman, Rev.

Then came the maid of honor,
Miss Floy Alvis of Fort Worth,
followed by the little flower girl,
Miss Dorothy Mcbride of Oklahoma
City. and the little ring-bearer, Miss
Lucy Cook, who carried the golden
band in an immense white chrysan-
themum.
The bridal retinue formed semi
circle about the chancel rail, and
then entered the bride, attended by
her father. Unusually handsome was
her gown of white crepe meteor,
exquisitely trimmei with pearls and
real lace. Her veil of white tulle
was caught by a spray of orange
blossoms and held by diamond pin,
the gift of the groom, and her bou-
quet was of fragrant white carna-
tions, tied with guaze ribbons.
The maid of honor, Miss Alvis,
was beautifully gowned in white
chiffon and carried white carnations.
The bridemaids wore effective gowns
of pink chiffon, and carried large
bouquets of pink carnations.
The wedding ceremony was very
impressive and was Witnessed by
a large number of friends that taxed
the capacity of the church, attesting
the popularity of the two young peo-
pie.
During the ceremony, Mrs. Peoples
played, with exquisite sweetness,
Call Me Thine Own followed by
the joyful Mendelssohn, as the bridal
party passed out, preceded by the
little flower girls who scattered rose
petals down the aisle.
Immediately after the ceremony,
reception for the bridal party
and relatives was held at the res
idence of Mr.. and Mrs. Sutherland.
Like the church, the house was
elaborately decorated. Myriads of
pink hearts were festooned through
out the rooms, and palms, ferns
and autumn flowers were used in
great profusion.
Mrs. Phillips gave the welcome at
the door, and Mrs. Downward led to
the cloak room. Mrs. Eb Evans in
ro1mced the visitors to the leceiv-
