dings that ever took place in Ocala.

ily arranged, especially the reception
room where the ceremony took place.
Directly in front of three immense
plate glass windows an archway of
white and green, conferred with an
| immense wedding bell of white chry-
lsanthemums, was arranged and on
either side tall white columns sur
mounted by lighted wax candles, all
/ forming bower of exquisite lowell
|. ness.

Miss Bessie MacKay took her place
at the piano and to the strains of
Lohengrin's wedding march the

four beautiful attendants, Miss Sara
Davis, Miss Minnie Stovall, Miss
Hope Robinson and Miss Mary Bur-
ford, robed in dainty lingerie dresses
and carrying immense arm bouquets
of pink carnations. They took their
places in a half-circle, followed by
the little flower girl, Helen Newsom,
sister of the bride, pretty as fairy
in a lovely lace dress. She-carried a
long-handled basket and scattered
rose petals along the pathway of the
bridal party. The bride, leaning on
the arm of her sister, Mrs. Nathan
| Mayo, never looked more beautiful
than on her wedding eve. Her dress
was an exquisite creation of white
crepe de chene over charmeuse made
entraine after the draped model
style with shadow lace and pearl
trimmings with lace insets in the
skirt and chiffon angel sleeves. Her
veil of tulle was caught in her bonny
brown hair with valley lilies and she
carried an immense bouquet OF
bride roses with valley lilies. Her
only jewel ornament was diamond
pin, the gift of the groom.
Mr.. Eugene Dodge, the groom's
brother, was best man. DR.. w. H
