contracting parties being present.
The simple decorations which en-
HANGED the beauty of the rooms were
in pink and white and green. The
reception hall and libary were
adorned with vases of enchantress
carnations of delicate pink, and lovely
Killarney roses. The mantel in the
drawing room was banked with feath-
cry lace ferns, and centered with an
artistic arrangement of Bride roses.
One corner of the room was banked
with tall palms and ferns, and be-

She was followed by the bride, who
entered with her father, who gave her
away.
At the improvised altar the bride
was met by the groom and his best
man, his brother, Mr.. Arthur Keely, of
Atlanta.
The impressive ring ceremony was
performed by Rev. J. Watson Gray
BILL pastor of the First Presbyterian
church.
After the ceremony an informal re-
ception was held and the happy cou-
pie received the congratulations and
best wishes of those present.
The bride, one of Jacksonville's
most popular society girls. was never
lovelier than in her bridal robe, of
exquisite Duchess lace and satin. Her
tulle veil, which fell in graceful folds
to- the end of her court train, was
of orange blossoms. Her only orna-
ment was a crescent of diamonds and
pearls, the gift of the groom. She
also wore the solitaire which was
presented to her by the best man,
the groom's brother. She carried a
beautiful shower bouquet of lilies of
the valley.
Mrs. Porter, the mother of the
bride, was gowned in an imported

During the informal reception a
buffet supper was served. The dining
table was laid with handsome lace
spread, and here the brides cake,
beautifully frosted, was placed. White
carnations and ferns were banked on
the mantel.
Mrs. w. T. Porter and Mrs. Robert

On their return from North Caro-
lima, en- route to Pensacola, they will
stop in Atlanta for a visit, and many
charming functions will be given in

tan linen trimmed with an artistic
touch of black. With this attractive
costume was worn a black picture
hat trimmed with Alice blue feathers.
The bride was the recipient of many
handsome and costly presents of
silver, cut glass. china and furniture,
