 Scene of LOyeliness.

evening at 6 o'clock of one of the most charmingly beautiful weddings that has ever been solemnized within It's sacred portals, when it's beloved rector, Rev Edward T. Mabley, in his usual gracefully impressive style said the solemnly sacred words that bound together for veal or woe the hearts, hands and fortunes of Miss Lula Bridewell, one of Forrest City's charming society girls, and Mr Henry Aiyan Mentz, of Memphis. The church had been beautifully decora- ted by the delft and tasteful hands of loving friends Of the bride, and while the decoration stopped at the cham eel rail, and did not cover the body of the church, the effect obtained in that limited space marked the acme of perfection, simplicity and good taste, all of which is expressed better in one word-lovely.
 The decorations were carried out with color motif of green yellow and white, the walls being banked with ferns, smilax and ivy, with here and there touch of yellow in the shape of large daisies and sunfiowers. while over the altar rail was hung frieze work effect of the same ma terial, latticed out with small white ribbon. On pilasters, also draped with delicate green vines, and ar ranged at either side of the altar steps, were shower boquets of lacy leaved ferns their, delicate greenery enhancing the beauty of the yellow flowers for which they served as foils, and all forming lovely stage setting for the pretty tableaux that was pre- sented when the bridal party were grouped together on the white car peted chancel floor, to witness the binding together oftwo loving hearts, and culmination of that ages-old story-a story old as life itself is old, but nevertheless, story that is ever new and sweet.
 As the sweet strains of the wedding march, played by the master hand of Mrs. B. D. Hatcher, swelled softly through the church, the bridal party entered in the following order:
 First came the following: Sixteen little girls, whom Miss Bridewell had taught, all beautifully and simply dressed in white, slippered and berib- boned eight on either side of the aisle, and carrying daisy chains-Dora Belle Fobre, Lydia Bernard, Martha Louise Cargill, Louise Hurley, Fran ces Rush, Sarah Prevent, Rebecca Sanders, Geraldine Johnson, Louise Alderson, Willie Dock Neel, Louise DeRossitt, Mildred Williams, Adine Jones, Catherine Jones, Ernestine Smith and Ruth Paslay,
 Following the sixteen little girls, came the ushers, MT. James Ewart and MT. Chas. Buford.
 Next came the matron, Mrs Linn Hurley, dressed in white and carrying American Beauty roses.
 Next came the bridesmaid, Miss Clara Bridewell, sister of the bride. dressed also in white and carrying pink roses.
 Last came the fair young bride her. self, with her brother, Mr. Will BriGewell, who gave her away.
 They were met at the first steps of the chancel by Rev. Mabley, the groom and his best man, MT. Chas. D. Runyon, of Memphis. the rector pre- ceding the bridal pair to the altar, which he ascended and while the sweet strains of "Oh, Promise Me, i' swelled through the sacred edifce, the rector said the words that made them one.
 In words of description altogether inadequate to faultlessly portray the beauties of the scene, we have tried above to paint in words the lovely scene, and now when it comes time in the course of our story to conclude with few brief words of biography regarding the popular principals, we 1 find again our command of the queens | English all too small to fittingly con. vey the sentiments we wish to express. The bride, Miss Lula Bridewell, is the oldest daughter of Mrs. Mary Bridewell. She is a native of Missis. sippi, but previous to coming to For. rest City, something over i've years ago, most of her life had been spent in louisiana, the family having lived in Baton Rouge.
