at the home of the bride, 1925 War

formed by Rev. W. IS. Ellington. The
bridal party standing beneath the
beautiful bell of white roses, made
picture never to be forgotten.
The bride was given in marriage by
her father and was exquisite in her
bridal toilette of white charmeuse
made with a train and compined
with rare pont lace. A cornet of
pearls shone in the midst of her
wealth of hair: her sweet and grace
full manners, her childlike simplici.
ty won all hearts The bride is
a cultivated yuong woman
Of conservative type and the
most popular young bride that Nash
Vile has given up. The drawing
room was a magnificent apartment
nothing could have been in better
taste than the decorations. The
scene was picturesque and dazzling;
the innumerable lights, the rich
hangings, the costly and fragrant
flowers, the exquisite dresses of the
; ladies and the cleaning Of rich jew
els, the elite of fashionable society
were present.
The wedding march was played by
Prof F. j. Work. The maid Of hon
or. Miss Lillian Dixon, neice of the
bride was dressed beautifully in he
graduating costume of white Frencl

Miss Eva Green, mistress of cere-
mony performed her duty with grace
and dignity. There were many
toasts of great merit given to the
bride but perhaps the one that
aroused the most enthusiasm was
given by Miss q. A. Lotion, it was
quite unique toast. 1t was not
thought possible that the names of
Shakespeare plays could be intro
duced into so long an address and
carry a continuous thought. Each
guest tripped into the dining room
to enjoy a bridal ice course. The
table was decorated with seven
brides, rice bags, two silver slippers
and the ring. The ices we're formed
into bridal slippers with green bows
served with individual cakes. A
