MANGUM-WHITNEY.

On Thursday evening the Sth in
slant at six-thirty O'Clock, Miss
Eliza Armstrong Whitney was mar
ried to Mr.. William Ball Mangum
at "Villa Clara" the residence OF
the brides family in this parish.
Long before the hour Of the cere-
mony relatives and intimate friends
began to arrive, and soon the halls
and rooms of this elegant and hos
pitable home were filled with the
admirers and well-wishes OF the
handsome and popular couple.
The home was made beautiful
and bespoke the artistic skill of
hands inspired by love. The par
lor where the ceremony was SOL
emnized was illumined by myriad
of waxen tapers that shed their soft
light, adding charm to the purity
of the scene; the whiteness of the
walls was relieved by a frieze OF
English ivy, handsome palms and
ferns and a tracery of delicate smi-
lax that framed the doors and win
dows. Suspended from the ceiling
was a shower of white carnations
and trailing asparagus, yelled with
illusion.
The bridal party passed down the
hallway and Just as the strains
of Mendelsshon's wedding march
swelled into its grander harmony
the queenly bride on the arm of her
uncle, Mr.. F. II. Curry, entered the
parlor, and thence through an isle
of gauze ribbon to the foot of an
altar draped in white and banked
with ferns. At the altar the bride
was given into the keeping Of the
groom, who with the groomsmen
awaited here the bride and her at
PENDANTS.
Scarce realized like some subtle
perfume, yet whispering its appeal
to the inner consciousness, now lost
in the resonant tones of the minis
ter, now softly thrilling into con-
scious messages of love, My Heart
At Thy Sweet Voice" was rendered
throughout the ceremony. And 80
within the walls of the home that
her presence has frightened and
glorified, this bride was joined in
holy wedlock to the choice Of her
heart.
Gowned in white satin, yelled in
chiffon with trimmings Of real lace,
her veil of illusion caught with
sprays of orange blossom, carrying
a bouquet of bride roses and lilies
of the valley and wearing diamond
necklace, the gift of the groom, Miss
Whitney typifed as bride that ele-
gance, grace and beauty that, in
form, feature and character have
ever been the inspiration of nobii-
ty. the guage of honor and the most
perfect fulfillment of natures ham
diwork.
The matron of honor, Mrs. Ma
gruder Hays, wore a handsome
gown Of white crepe de chine, ex-
ouisitely hand-embroidered and car
ried a shower bouquet of brides
roses.
Miss Marian Curry, cousin of the
bride, maid of honor, was gowned
in white liberty satin with garni-
ture of baroque pearl and rose buds
and carried shower of bride roses.
Little Miss Ella Hardie, niece OF
the groom, prettily attired in Paris
frock, as flower girl, carried white
sweet peas, and escorted by Master
Richard Whitney, nephew of the
bride, page, came first in the we'd
ding procession and was followed
by the maid of honor, the matron
of honor preceding the bride. The
groomsman was MIR. John NJ. Park
er, Jr., of New Orleans.
The groom is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. w. Mangum of New Or
leans, and is young man whose
| high ideals, intelligence and sterl-
ing worth deserve the admiration
and friendship he enjoys. The GER
emony was performed by Rev. DR..
J.J. Chisolm of the First Presby-
terrain Church of Natchez.
Forest vines, autumn leaves and
berries, wreathing tall, red-shaded
candelabra, gave to the hall its
color scheme. In the rear Of the
hall was the punch bowl festooned
with sprays of green and luscious
grapes. It's inspiration was dis
pensed by Miss Rowan.
In the dining room the table was
laid with an embroidered japanese
cloth and was decorated with aspar-
agus ferns, pink carnations and
pink shaded candles, while from the
chandelier hung graceful festoons of
white tulle and clusters of lilies of
the valley. The center piece was
a heart-shaped wedding cake from
which the ring was cut by Mr.. |
Carneal Goldman, Jr., the thimble
by Miss Alright and the dime
by Mrs. Hays. The ice-cream was
served in the form of miniature we'd
ding bells tied with pink bows.
