when Miss Annie Faust and Mr..

in matrimOny. The church had
been artiStically decorated by Mrs.
w. B, Patty, Mrs. Ben F. Price,
Miss Ida Smith and Miss Mary
Price. Green and white were the
colOrS used. The chancel was en-.
twined in southern smilax with a
white back ground; the decora
tons being further carried out
with ferns of luxuriant growth,
placed at intervals in the altar
and rear. The entire effect was
one of dignity and simplicity, dis.
playing the excellent talent of the
artists who created it.
The uShers were Mr.. Herbert
Haggarty of HattieSburg, and Mr..
Ben Turner of Montgomery, Ala.
Both are friends of the groom and
prominent in business as well as
social circles of their respective
cities. They discharged their du.
ties with an ease which prevented
any confusion in the seating of the
friends who honored the occasion
with their presence.
AT three O'Clock promptly Miss
Ida Miller, attired in white lin.
geree, with silk trimmings, began
the service with Mendelsshon's
well loved wedding march. Her
perfect understanding and render.
ing of the composition brought out
its beautiful musical qualities and
its deep meaning. To these strains
the ushers moved forward and took
their places on either side of the
chancel. Then Miss Mary Price,
the maid of honor, deliberately
gowned in white voile, with shad-
ow lace, wearing a lovely hat of
white moline, and carrying pink
roses, entered with little Augusta
Bright Price, who carried the ring.
The little ring bearer wore a dain
ty white frock and held a miniature
bouquet of pink rose buds. Fol,
lowing their entrance came the
dainty little maids, Misses Julia
and Mary Sue Stokes, who pre-.
coded the bride and scattered flow
ers along the aisle. Their dresses
were also of white lingerie and
made airy and appropriate with
valencienes lace. They entered
the altar and awaited the arrival
of the bride and groom.
Miss Faust wore an exquisite
creation of white crepe meteor,
with real lace trimmings. Her
costume was low enough to permit
the wearing of a dainty gold cross
around her throat, and sleeves
which. allowed the use of very long
white gloves, a girdle made of
folds of satin finished the waist,
and the skirt, cut entrain, showed
artistic lines. The bri-
veil was becomingly graped
lilies of the valley. She car
ried white roses arranged in nose.
