salemnity 10 the already charming event
 The church had been beautifully and tastefully decorated by the delft hands of the loving friends Of the bride, and while il was simple in ar rangement, it presented a scene of fairylike loyellness that will live long In the minds Of those who witnessed the ceremony. Along the back wall of the church, and extending in a semi-circle, had been massed to the ceiling an arrangement of solid green cry made of cedar, evergreen and pot ted plants. The platform on which stands the altar, had been enlarged and carpeted in white, and along it's front seven pedestals draped in white tulle and holding baskets filed with pink Killarney roses were placed, thus adding the one touch of vivid color needed to complete the beautiful tab leaux 1t was planned to frame, and which was charmingly completed with the arrival of the bridal party led by the four little flower girls, Miss es Azalie Merritt, Cornelia Eldridge, Sarah Prewett and Louise Anderson, who entered the church, the gentle men coming down one of the side aisles, while the ladies used the oppo. site one, and entering in the follow. ing order:
 tshers: MT. James Russell, Jr.. brother of the bride, and MT Jesse Isaacs, of Mariana.
 First Bridesmaid, Miss Madeleine Rollwage, with Mr John Mann, oi Mariana, brother of groom, as groomsman.
 Miss Anna Roleson, bridesmaid with Walker Morrow, cousin o' groom, groomsman.
 Miss Frances Mann. bridesmaid with Prof Andrews, of Marianna groomsmen.
 Miss Marguerite Spears, Of Chatta nooga, Tenn, bridesmaid, with Her vey Mann, Of Pine Bluff, cousin of tn, groom, groomsman.
 Miss Elizabeth Gatling, bridesmaid with MT. Wilson Northcross, of Mem phis, cousin of the groom, grooms man.
 Mrs. Edgar P. Taylor, sister of tn, bride, matron of honor
 Mrs. Jas Russell, Jr., sister-in-lav of the bride, matron of honor.
 Miss Euna Mai Polk, of Memphis maid of honor, entered alone.
 Edgar Taylor IT,, nephew of th bride, ring bearer.
 The bride, leaning on the arm c her father, Capt J as. Russell, was ne at the foot of the altar steps by th groom and his best man, MT Thoma Parham. of Pine Bluff, and here Rev kirker said the sweetly solemn an beautiful words that made man an wife of one of the sweetest and bes of girls, of city that is famed for it fair women, and one of the gallan young men of Mariana.
 'Twould indeed be like attemptin to paint the lily, or with earthl hands 10 strive to beautify the rose To attempt in written or spoken word to adequately portray the beauty 0 the scene, and the task is indeed ia beyond our power. But we feel tha a brief description of the costume worn by the bridal party, especial the feminine part, will not be amiss

Entertains for Bridal Party.

MT. and Mrs. Edgar Taylor charm ingly entertained on Monday evening in honor of the bridal party, atten- dant apon the wedding of Mrs. Fay lor's sister, Miss Lucille Russell, 10 MT. William Burkley Mann. The hospitable Taylor home was beauti. fully decorated, pink and white being used as a color scheme, and Five Hun- dred was played. During the course of the game punch was served, and at it's conclusion the guests were ushered into the dining room, where on round table the brides cake was placed The cake, of course, oc- cupied the center of tie table and from it led pink and white ribbons terminating in white satin slippers filed with rice at each plate In- stead of cutting the cake. the guests had their chance at the ring, the thimble. etc, by pulling their ribbons from the cake and receiving their fate in a small envelope. which had been placed in receptacle dn top of lhe cake.
 In the drawing, the groom again proved himself fortunate man. by drawing the ring, Mir. Estes Mann drew tne thimble, Miss Russell the needle and NIT. Walker Morrow the dime.
 After the drawing punch was sery- ed and here two t0asJs were given to the bride and groom. MT. Walker Morrow giving the following senti- ment to the groom:
 "YoQ surprised us in your energy
 When your courtsiip you began In this hard contested struggle
 Changing maiden into man We doubted not intention.
 That yoG hoped U make il fact, But questioned your ability To consummate the act.
 l have heard you moan Tn slQmber
 Things l knew she d heard before And, 1 knew, If oft repeated,
 They would have 10 ope the door. But rarely does a lawyer
 Put the logic of his plot To the world for it's inspection
 Till he's tied the final knot. And since you put the act in motion, Since shes decided what to do: We assemb ble here together,
 Just 10 see the matter through. In aSkinp her f0 iOip van
 5. gging her 10 change her name, Her decision was her passport
 To nasty flight 10 fame.
 Then Mss Anna Roleson delivered the following charming bit of senti- ment as a toast to the bride:
 Love is the crowning grace of
 humanity,
 The holieSt rite of the soul.
 May love be the golden link
 That binds you 10 duty and truth
 And the redeeming principle of
 the heart,
 That leads you to eternal good. " The guests were then taken To the library where from the chandelier was hung a pink slipper, from which pink and white ribbons, one for each of the bridal party, depended. On pulling these ribbons dainty and ap- propriate gifts, silver shoe buckles for the maids, and watch fobs for the groomsmen were disclosed
 There were only the members of the bridal party and the families of the contracting parties present, and the affair was one of the most charm ing social events of the season

ing ONE of them resemble great moths
or sober-hued butterflies. The bat.
wing may be worn with any sort of a
shirt, soft, semi-stif or starched, and
with any style of collar.
The old-fashioned term ."cravat"' is
again found in the vocabulary Of the
trade. Many of these prepared for the
rall-winter season show rare combina-
tons of coloring. Some of these are
knitted Of bright, natural silk, in
popular stitches and novelty effects,
made Of Bengalines, crepes, Faillies
and foulards.
There is no evidence of the antici-
pated decline in the demand for knit
and crochetted goods. Among the
higher class trade is a disposition to
advance the cut-silk variety. For the
first time in several years it is hardly
possible to name any two or three col
ors or color combinations that will pre-
vail above others for the autumn sea-
son. The range OF buyers selections
up to date cover the entire chromatic
scale, while brilliant effects are promi-
nent. In knit goods, bars and cross
stripes are mostly in evidence; while
cut-silk designs are for the most part
restrained to short-bias stripes and
small figures.
The ACCORDION weave four-in-hand is
too great a favorite to be abandoned,
and will remain throughout the win
ter. SO will the long flowing scarfs
in Persian designs and scrolls. The
color combinations in all these are 50
numerous as to defy description. Bias
stripes in three-color combinations win
be specially popular among the younger
set while a novelty that may or may
not meet with general approval is an
accordeon-weave with what is known
as the "lace effect" This is handsome
and, in spite Of it's title, Is not efemi'
nate In appearance.

sox.
The demand for the higher grade OF
sox continues to increase with a steadi-
ness that. is pleasing to many dealers
and manufacturers as well. 1t is a
demand, too, that the general public
has entered into without hesitation,
for this higher grade footwear can now
be purchased at prices that every we'll
dressed men can afford. I
Silk and silk-and-lisle half-hose are
almost universally worn, and dealers
declare that this will continue so
throughout the coming fall and winter.
OF course, there are dozens Of standard
makes OF hosiery that contain neither
silk nor l~isle-thread, and these will
always hold their own, especially dur
ing cold weather. 49,,
A novelty in the line OF hosiery, pre-
pared for the fall trade, is a silk or
silk-and-lisle sock with cashmere sole.
1t Is claimed that this will outwear
the usual silk or combination hose and
that the cashmere will more readily
absorb the perspiration Of the foot.
UNDERWEAR
Some dealers declare that the adj
vent of cool weather will In no way
affect the popularity Of the so-called
athletic union suits, meaning the
sort that have no sleeves, and reach
only to the knees. But others asserts
that while this may be so, IN regard
to young chaps with athletic ambi-
tons, full-length suits will have the
call, both in union and two-piece gar
ments. OF course, this matter is one
Of purely personal preference, both as
to material and style. Underwear
made up for the fall and winter season
comprises linens, twills, nainsook, cam
brio, madras, silk and other fabrics,
including cotton, woolens and balbrig-
gans. There is no question that the
union suit is gaining steadily in popu-
larity, for it has many points in its
favor and only one to its disadvantage
And this may be obviated by securing
a proper at when purchasing, and by
selecting material that viii not shrink

Of the same material. Whether these
will take with the public or not,
remains to be seen. AS n matter Of
fact, there is nothing particularly new
about them, as anyone may remember
who used to wear the old-fashioned
bosom" shirt with starched cuffs that
might be removed or turned around at
win.
However, as a sort Of compromise
between the negligee and the stin
shirt, the fall market Is provided with
a linen shirt with short, starched
bosom, which affords the desired de-
gree Of comfort in cool OF cold weather,
and is likely to increase the demand
for wing collars.
Of course, any number OF silk and
silk-and linen shirts. and other fancy
makes, are on the list for the coming
season. Even the small shops, and the
big department stores that cater to the
popular demand, will have them ready
for fall, at prices for the most part
below those that have formerly pre-
vailed in these fine fabrics. In fact,
the buyer may make selection from an
innumerable, indescrfbable variety, as
regards both fabrics and prices.
In collars, there is hardly my no
tIceable difference between those de
signed for the approaching eason anf
those Of last year. One marked
change, however. is forcing itself into

notice; this is a return to the conr.
Portable, low, widespread collar with
pointed ends that was fashionable
long before high ~'standups' were in
troduced. Man of mature years, and
men with a tendency to enrbonpoint
welcome these collars. -
The wing collar will be worn
chiefly with the ascot tie. The wings
will be a bit larger and more pro-
nounced than those of last season.
They, and the low collar mentioned
above, will also be in demand as an
accompaniment to bat-wing ties. The
regulation poke" will hold it's own
for formal dress, averaging IA inches
in height. 49,.
NECKWEAR.
Ascots and batIwing ties have been
restored to favor, and the former will
be worn very largely in place of the
four-in-hand in conjunction with the
cutaway coat. 1t is also perfectly
permissible with ordinary business
sack, and is best worn with a wing
collar, fastened with a plain gold
safety pin. .....
Absolutely no limit exists as to the
range Of fancy permitted a man in
the selection Of his neckwear for the
fall and winter season of 1912-1913.
Crochets are destined to meet with
special favor this autumn, in all sorts
Of striped effects and popular stitches.
The bat-wing tie will soon be on sale
everywhere, having met the approval
Of "the powers that be" for the com
ing season. The man who prefers to
display a stud In the bosom of his
starched or semi-stim shirt, rather than
a pin in his four-in-hand necktie, will
welcome the return Of the bow.

ors, shadow stripes or polka dots
Some will be. made up in foulnrd, with
shadow spots; others In different kinds

that the soft shirt will be laid aside
o and many handsome semi-stlh
garments have been prepared to take
its place. Russian cords, in plain
colors, stripes and figures, with soft
Iyosoms and starched cuffs, will soon
make their appearance. Some of these
will be plated and others negligee.
Figures seem to be limited IN fall and
winter shirtings. Madras, linen, silk,
silk-and-linen, percales soisettes,
prints, soft mercerized cloth, and fan
mel, all come in stripes.
Yet, as compared with last year,
little dtminuation is noticeable In the
call for autumn and winter negllSec.
Both soft and starched cuffs, single
and double, are included in this de-
mand, which requires an e~ver-increos'
