FEReusoN-sARRoW WEDDING

| Barrow, eldest daughter OF MI. j..
Mentor Barrow, and Mr. Albert Eugene
Ferguson of New Orleans, were mar
ried, the rector, Rev. A. w. Skardon,
officiating.
Cool and sweet in it's empowering
decorations Of sylvan green looked the
sanctuary of Grace Church in readiness
for the marriage of this lovely daugh-
ter of West Feliciana. The walls of
the chancel had been almost complete
| ly covered with bamboo, interspersed
with vines, while the entire space was
banked about with ferns and ever
greens. An arch of bamboo was erect
ed in front of the altar, and from the
arch depended a small love-knot of
| flowers. Under this the couple stood
to exchange the final VOWS. A few
pink flowers in pots enlivened the
green without altering the general
impression of woodland verdure.
Mrs. o. Leonard played the wedding
march as the bridal party entered the
church. Messrs. Walton and Frank
Barrow, as ushers, headed the process
sion, followed by the bridesmaids, Miss
Margaret Stirling and Miss Amelia
Barrow, walking alone and some dis
lance apart. Miss Stirling, blonde,
wore a gown of white taffeta with tunic
of silk shadow lace. Her sash was of
pink and the shower bouquet she car
ried was of pink hydrangeas and as
paragus fern. Miss Barrow's gown was
| of Oriental lace made in three tier
effect with blue satin sash and shower
bouquet of blue hydrangeas. She was
followed by the brides sister, Miss
Emily Jemison Barrow, as maid of
honor, tall, graceful girl, wearing a
gown of white shadow lace in three
ruffles with sash ribbons of white.
Her bouquet was of daisies and other
white flowers. Behind her, leaning on
the arm of their father, was the bride
| in a clinging gown of white crepe de
chine, made decollete, and trimmed
richly with old lace A soft net veil,
bordered with beautiful old lace, was
laid over her dark hair like cap, and
then tloated gracefully to the end of
her train. She carried shower bou-
quet of white Gala lilies, white n.y.
drangeas and asparagus fern.
The rector, accompanied by the
groom and his best man, Mr. Osborne
j. Dunn of New Orleans, met the
brides party at the chancel step, and
! the solemn ceremony began there.
Soft sweet music filled the air from
the deep-toned organ throughout the
service.
AS the happy pair left the church,
the bell in the tower rang out in sono-
rous tones mingling with the spirited
march from the organ. All of the
young gentlemen taking part in the
ceremonial wore white suits, and the
effect was very pleasing. After the
wedding, the bridal party repaired to
| the residence of Dir. A. F. Barrow
where family dinner was served and
the bride changed to a tango-colored
ratine street suit, in which she made
the journey to the home of her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Mentor Barrow, near
Wakefield, where she and Mr. Fergu-
son remained until Friday morning,
when they left for their home in New
Orleans. They go to housekeeping in
Palmyra street Mr.. Ferguson has a
Irresponsible position in the parcels de-
partment of the New Orleans post-of-
| flee. He came from Jackson, Miss,
where he was for years confidential
clerk in the post-office at that place,

esteemed, In August when he has his
vacation, he will take his bride to
Jackson to visit his old home.
Those of us who know and love
"her, who was" Anna Barrow, also
know that he need feel naught but
pride of the sweet, unpretentious but
charming girl he has made his bride.
She has been notable from childhood
as good daughter and sister, and the
auguries are all in favor of her making
equally as good wife, The acquaint-
ance, made at church in New Orleans,
has ripened into love and marriage,
and the future'looks bright for both.
! His house she enters, there to be light,
Shining within when all without is night;
A guardian angel Ger his life presiding,
Doubling his pleasures, and his cares
dividing"
