was consummated last evening at st
Mary s-on-the- Highlands, when Mis-.
lFannie Evans, the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. e. B. Evans, became the bride OF
Mr.. Robert Knox Greene. The church
which has been the scene of a number
of prominent weddings this season, was
artistically decorated last night in palms
and other tropical plants, with clusters
of which flowers and the usual altar can
dies to give a bright aspect.
The nuptial music was brilliantly pre-
scented by Mrs. William Gussen, oreanist
for the church. AT the appointed hour
the attendants entered from the two
doors, the first groomsmen and ushers
leading, and after advancing to the en-

and approaching the altar in twos. This
arrangement continued until the approach
of the two matrons of honor each of
whom descended the aisle alone.

trance, Mr.. Alex Waller of Greensboro
and Mr.. James Gillespy of this city, en-
terlng from opposite doors, met and
marched to the altar together. Then

with Mr. Maelin Smith, concluded the
entry of groomsmen and bridesmaids

veil differed greatly from the conventional
sort and her unusual personality was ex-
pressed in the grace and sweetness of her

of her face as she passed down the altar
on the arm of her father. Mr.. Greene
