| Chrysanthemums from northern nur- series made a lavish setting last evening | for one of the first church weddings of | the season-that of MT. Ernest Pomeroy and Miss Susie Angel. Huge golden wedding" chrysanthemums, white and yellow, filled cornucopia like baskets standing high at either side of the altar, and appeared again peeping out of a background of palms and ferns. The center of the floral motive was a large basket filled with chrysanthemums and ferns and with it's graceful handle topped by two little images of the God of Love. The Fountain Heights Methodist church was the scene of this pretty nuptial service and the music, like the floral decorations, was most attractivet
 Long before the appointed hour the guests began to assemble. The section of the church reserved for the two fam flies was set apart by clusters of chrys- anthemums caught with tulle. Mrs H. Clanton Miller played the nuptial music Mir. Paul Angel, the brides brother sang "Because," during the ceremony. As the bridal party entered the church
 
 chorus from "Lohengrin'' was played and as they emerged after the vows, the tones of Mendelssohn's wedding march were sounded.
 The bridal procession was led by the gr groomsmen, MT. Howard Kelley and Mir Eugene Owen of Louisville. They were followed by the two bridesmaids, Miss Wirnie Pomeroy, the bridegroom's sister, and Miss Louise Archer. Their costumes were in keeping with the chosen color sche me, and becoming both in color and style. The gowns were gracefully fash ioEed of white marquisette, with high golc sashes of the quaint Empire type in vogue at the moment. The tasteful arrangement of the coiffure was the more effective because of the glistening beaded bands which confined them. Each car ried a huge arm. bouquet of specimen chrysanthemums in the gold tint.
