groom, in lavender; and Miss Grace
Adkins in yellow. Each carried large
bouquets of sweet peas in varying,
shades. Miss Ollie Spurlock was the
maid of honor Her gown was of blue,
the bodice, most becoming, of tulle
and lace. Her flowers were pink Kill
larneys. Little Miss Beatrice Knapp,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs Clarence
Knapp, of Kenova, acted as flower girl
and certainly looked the part in her
dainty lace frock as she gracefully car
ried her basket, scattering rose petals
in the pathway of the bride who ap-
peared on the arm of her father, COM
pleting the lovely marriage tableaux.
The bride looked a picture of sweet
youthfulness in her bridal robe of
clinging radium satin. The corsage
was entirely of princess lace of rich de-
sign which was also used with effect,
as finish to the fan plating intro
duced in the skirt. Her long train
hung from the shoulders. The tulle
bridal veil fell in mist over the
gown and was most becomingly ar
ranged, being caught with wreath
of orange blossoms. Her bouquet was
a superb cluster of brides roses and
lilies.
A reception followed the ceremony,
the bride and groom and their wedding
party, Mr.. and Mrs. McDougal and
Mrs. Byrdees Levering, the mother of
the groom, joining the receiving line.
After the congratulations and good
wishes were showered upon Mr. and
Mrs. Levering, the way was led to the
dining room, where the wedding cake
was cut and the refreshment plate of
delicious ices in fancy design enjoyed.
A cooling frappe bowl was presided
over by Mrs. Clarence Knapp of Ken
ova and Mrs. Ernest Reinwald of Hunt
ington. The large, comfortable veran-
da gave ample opportunity to move
about, some of the younger set indulg-
ing in dancing.
The brilliant array of wedding gifts
was arranged on the upper floor and
never were more generaus evidences
of the affectionate interest than those
bestowed upon this young couple. A
home completely furnished awaits
them in Columbus, Ohio, the gift of the
groom's father. The bride is an unusu-
ally gifted girl, whose talents have
not spoiled the charm of her lovely
character. Mr.. and Mrs. Levering will
leave today for Columbus, Ohio, where
they will make their future home, the
groom holding lucrative position with
the state highway commission.
Miss Grace Adkins caught the brides
bouquet and the maids are wearing
dainty friendship circles, which were
gifts of the bride.
