Nv MYRTLE MIu.Es

The marriage of Miss Elizabeth AcCaa
ami Mr.. John Howard Mayer was beauti-
fully solemnized last night at o'clock
at the home of the brides sister, Mrs.
Angus Macy Taylor on South Seven
teenth avenue. Only the members of the
two immediate families witnessed tho
VOWS, and after an informal reception Mr..
Mayer and his bride departed for Ashe-
vile, N. c., to spend their honeymoon.
The residence was artistieally decorated
for the ceremony. Palms and ferns were
stationed to furnish masses of greenery
III the charming little hooks which make
the interior of the Taylor residence so
charming. An altar was improvsed at
tall palms to effect background and
Bermuda lilies in white standards COM
bining with the snowy sapers standing
in the seven pranched candlesticks to give
the correct contrast.
The bridal party was a very small one.
Miss McCaa was preceded to the altar by
tws small girls wearing delicate frocks
of white lace. Her niece Maj garet Nc
Caa, was a diminutiye beauty, bearing
the wedding ring to the altar on a minia-
turc white pillow and looking very COM
posed and altogether lovable she de-
scended the stairway. Little Miss Bertha
Lehman of Natchez, Mr.. Mayors pretty
niece. carried a small basket filled with
white flowers to scatter in the pathway
of the bride.
,T'hen the bride entered with her mother,
Mrs. Burwel Boykin McCaa, who gave
her in marriage. She wore a wedding
gown typical of the summer season, for
II was almost entirely made of round
thread Val laces, with a bit of a train.
and her tulle veil, confined in cap effect
with a coronet of orange blossoms, con-
finued the filny effect of her charming at
tire. She carried instead of tie conven-
tional brides bouquet small white Bible,
from which depended "a shower of lilies
of the valley; and she was an eXtraordi-
naTiiy lovely bride, her raven hair, blue
eyes and vivid coloring making her al
ways lovely, but especially so in her
snowy white brides costume Her only
jewel was a quaint 1avaliere made of
some cid jewels of Mr.. Mayors mother.
Mrs. McCaa looked distinguished and
charming in her wistara crepe de chine
gown with soft lace at the throat ana
neck, and carrying "a bouquet Of lavender
and white sweet peas she completed a
lovely picture, for her daughter is strik-
Mgly like her.
Mr.. Mayer entered with his brother, Mr.
Sam Hayer, as best man, and DR.. Morris
Newfield pronounced the marriage cere-
nony.
An informal reception followed. Mrs
Taylor was an extremely pretty hostess,
wearing a blue charmeuse evening gown,
whose graceful draperies Were Chantilly
lace and gold embroideries. From the
dining room ices and punch were served.
The table there was in keeping with the
prevalent floral scheme, a central basket
holding an abundance of lilies and white

FORMAL OPENING AT

Indicative of the general interest in
equal suffrage was the formal opening
of the headquarters yesterday at Cable

new apartment of the suffrage organiza-

"'feminine touch" which must surely
have assisted Mr.. Shelby, Mr.. Burton,
Mr. Moore and their other associates
to make their new store an inviting
place. And every visitor who saw the
