Lancaster, August 23.-On Friday
afternoon, at the home of DR.. and
Mrs. r. c. Brown, the engagement and
approaching marriage of Miss Flor
cncc Brown to MIR. r. f. Fleming, of

lotte Jones. Later the guests were in
Nlted INTO the dining room, beautiful
with It's tasteful decorations of white
roses and smilaX, the color scheme of
green and white being effectively car
ricd out by the soft light OF numerous
lShtcd candles, the unique central
decoration for the lace covered table
being a bride and groom dressed in
evening costume. The table decora-
lions being so suggestive, the guests
began to silently surmise At this
point the tactful hostess distributed
the score cards bearing the following
inscription: Brown Fleming, Novem-
Der ., 1913" Naturally the game did
not proceed until Miss Brown was
showered with appropriate toasts and
best wishes. The groom, though alb
sent, was also congratulated upon his
good fortune. Miss Brown is one Of
Lancaster's fairest and most popular
girls and the accomplished daughter
of one of her oldest and most honored
citizens, Mr.. w. Med. Brown. Since
graduating from Winthrop Miss Flor
ence has with great credit taught in
several cities throughout the State.
Her marriage, which promises to the
social event Of the fall, will not be
void of it's regrets that Lancaster will
lose SO charming a daughter. Mr.
Fleming is also very popular in Lau-
renS, where as friend and sterling
business man he is respected and ad-
mired
In the game of bridge Mrs George
w. Williams won the first prize, a
pair of silk hose, the honoree being
presented an exquisite pair of hand
embroidered towels. All the girls cut
for the consolation, which fell to Miss
Eliza Wylie, who. as the recipient of
the doll groom, was delighted, the
trophy being unique in it's perfectly
tailored evening clothes. The an
nouncement of this engagement will
be of widespread interest in the State,
where Miss Brown and Mr.. Fleming
have many fricnds.-News and Cour-
