The marriage of Miss Ruby Munger and Mr. Alexander Montgomery was the conspicuous event of the week. It oc- cured yesterday afternoon at Arlington, the beautiful country house of the Mum gers on Montevallo road. A lovely place it is for a wedding, the big colonial home, with its long approach through flower bordered walks making a disnified set ting for that most dignifled of functions. Arlington is never prettier than at this season. with touch of autumn on the trees and the long shadows which begin to steal over the place at o'clock giv- ing an atmosphere of poetry.
 Only a limited number were bidden to the ceremony, the assembly including the relatives of the Munger and the Mont gomery families with the intimate friends of the bride and the bridegroom added What would probably have been one of the largest nuptial functions of the sea- son, had the plans of the young people been perfected as first intended, became a quiet one when it was decided that MT. Montgomery's business interests would take him away from Birmingham for four or five months.
 A line of motors and carriages stood in front of the lawn during the wedding, the guests finding the trip out into the country and back to town picturesque and charming incident of warm. bright afternoon. They were welcomed within the living room by Mrs. R. s. Munger ana MT and Mrs. Paul Earle, Jr. The af1 ft1yan tions have occurred, was autumnal in it's decoration, living rooms and halls mak- ing a brave show of golden rod and fol- iage. In the drawing room, however, where an altar stood, background or green threw into bold relief a profusion of annunciation lilies. The VOWS were pronounced here by Bishop J. H. Mccoy.
 The wedding march from "Lohengrin' vas played by Mrs. William Gussen for the entrance of the bridal party, and as it's opening tones were heard, Miss Mary Munger, the maid of honor and her sis ter's only attendant, descended the stairs. She was charming figure in girlish gown of blue crepe de chine, the ombre tints of which shaded from deep blue through the paler tones to white; her arm bouquet of golden gate roses giving the final touch of art to lovely ensemble.
 Miss Munger followed leaning on the arm of her father, Mrs. R. s. Munger, who gave her in marriage. She was her usual sweet, bright self. wearing her go away gown of blue and blue beaver and mink costume hat with natural ness and unaffectedness essentially char acteristic. Her bridal bouquet of lilies of the valley gave a festive touch to the suhdued tones of her tailored gown. Mr. Montgomery with his best man, Mr. Sorsby Jemison, met her at the altar, where the VOWS were spoken.
 delightful reception followed, its every detail one of a gracious informality. Mrs. Munger, the brides mother, received her guests wearing a handsome after room toilette of lavender marqusette over blue. Her daughter, Mrs. Paul Hamilton Earle, wore a blue messaline gown with jetted overdress in which she is very pretty.
