Mrs. J. H. kinard, in Co.
lunl5ia. The ceremony was
performed by the Rev. J. O. Reavis,
D. D., pastor of the First Presbyterian
church The wedding, although quiet
and simple, was one of the most beau
tiful of the year, and one of the most
interesting socially. The hlnard
home, with its spacious high-celled
rooms, made a setting fit for the oc-
casion. The artistic decorative scheme
was carried to perfection in every de-
.,tail. The long arched hall was
bower of green palms and ferns, the
tdoorways framed in graceful vines.
Phe bridal party crossed the hallway,
entering the front parlor, where the
ceremony was performed. AS the
wedding march was sounded, little
Miss Frances Earle and Mr.. William
DuBose drew ribbons to form an aisle
to the altar, arranged before the bay
window at the end of the room. A
background of palms threw into re1et
the quantities of white roses massed
on mlantels and cabinets. Palms and
cedars filled the bay window and at
each side of the altar was tall palm
tree. Silver candelabra bearing light
ed tapers stood on yine-tWined White
pedestals and here the minister with
the bridegroom and his best man, Mr..
Julian Selby, awaited the bridal party.
The maid Of honor, Miss Elizabeth
Rucker, preceded the bride. She wore
dainty lingerie gown with lace in
serts and green ribbons. The bride en-
bride entered with her broth
er-in-law, Mr. E. N. Ruck-
er. Her radiant loneliness was never
more perfect than in her bridal cos
tune OF shimmering crepe meteor.
The corsage was formed of rose point
lace and exquisite embroidery in a
rose design, which was also used in
band above the hem of the long
skirt. From the empire back a panel
outlined with lace extended to the
bottom of the long train. Over all
foated the bridal veil of soft tulle,
which was caught about the coiffeur
of ri viii
OF lilies of the valley at the side. She
carried an exquisite bouquet of brides
roses showered with lilies of the val
ley.

into the drawing room, where the
presents were displayed. Seven or
eight tables filled with handsome sill
yer and cut glass gave evidence OF the :
popularity of the charming. bride. j
Pink was the tone Of the decoraCve
idea in this room. The large pier
glass at one end reflected the masses
of pink roses used about the room.
Little pink tapers set amid the ferns
and flowers filed the rooms with a
rosy glow and carnations nodded in .
tall vases on the cabinets. In the dia- 4
ing room, where delicious course of !;
refreshments was served, white and
green was the effective color scheme. /

lilies stood on the sideboard and ia

ver-framed mirror. The reception was |
an informal one, but to each guest
