One Of the most brilliant events of the Miss Kathleen Nixon. daughter of Mrs. James Thomas Nixon, to MT. Joseph Todd Collins. The celebration took place last evening al the Church of the Advent, ad- mission to which was by card, and was attended by a large and representative assenlb,age. The chancel of the church was inasstd with giant palms and the al- tar banked with greenery, with which the white Of burning tapers and fragrant blossoms contrasted brilliantly. Draping the pews were festoons of white tulle caught with flowers and smilax, while the handsome costumes worn by the guests added 10 the beauty of the picture.
 During the arrival of the guests pro granme of nuptial music was presented by Prof. Fred L. Grambs, who, at the moment appointed for the wedding, drift ed into the bridal chorus from "Lohen- grim ant as it's final tones died away and the bridal procession formed a group at the altar began a dreamy rendition of "Shuberts Serenate."
 The ushers and groomsmen, alternately with the bridesmaids, entered the church and passed down the aisles The ap- proach to the altar was made in twos, the attendants entering separately and meet ing at the central aisle from which point they passed to the altar together MT. z. T. Rudolph and MT. Richard Evans were the first to enter. They were fol- lowed by Miss E,stele Nabb and Miss Marjorie Weatherly, both of whom were Isexquisitely lovely-but, indeed never has a group of prettier girls been seen at a Birmingham wedding.

 MT. John Denson and MT. John Lusls preceded Miss Sadie Gillespy and Miss Fredrilla Ferguson to the altar. Two such diverse types were excellent foils, each for the other.
