dious and well appointed home of the
brides parents on East Main street.
The Fuller home, designed after the
tastes and ideas of the old south, is
peculiarly susceptible to decoration
and for this occasion nothing had been
left undone that could possibly detract
from he beauty of the scene. The
guests were welcomed at the door by
Mr.. and Mrs. w. G.. Lancaster and in
the front hall they were met by Misses
Mary Lake and DOME Counts who
lead them to the library, where Mr..
and Mrs. j. w, Dunklin and Mr.. and
Mrs. III. Douglas Gray received. In
this ROOM, decorated in red and green,
was placed a vast array of wedding
presents, in the center of which were
the gifts Of the two families of the
young people. From the brides fam
lily came a beautiful chest of silver,
each piece engraved with the initials
81. f. W." The gift of the groom's
sister, Mrs. j.. r. Clary and Mr.. Clary,
was a handsome silver service Apart
from these presents was the gift of
the groomsmen, a full set of Haviland
china. From the library the guests
We're ushered into the parlor where
Mr.. and Mrs. James r. Davis, Miss
Emily Meng and Miss Julia lrby re-
ceived and introduced them to the bri-
dial party in the receiving line. Here
the guests had the first opportunity
to congratulate the young people and
numerous and hearty were the words
of good will and wishes. From the
parlor the guests were ushered into
the dining room by Mrs. Cora Lucas,

ID. Gray and Mr.. and Mrs. f. *. Spratt.

under the care of Miss Amelia Todd
and Miss Nena IIockridge. During the
evening tea was poured by Miss Nell
Miller assisted by Miss Kate Wright
and Miss Mary Agnes Anderson. Miss
lizzie Glenn assisted in entertaining.
The middle hall, where these were sta
toned, had decorations of ivy and pur-
pie wistaria which, forming a back
ground for the lighted candles, made
a very effective combination.
In the balcony Of the middle hall
was an orchestra which played
throughout the evening.
During the evening a large number
OF guests called to join with the i'm
mediate relatives in wishing for the
young couple the best things of life
and to congratulate them upon the

secret, in a few days they will be at
home to their friends at the residence
