and Miss lone Brown was publicly SOL
emnized in the presence of a large con-
course of the beauty and chivalry of
Grenada.
OF the many beautiful weddings SOL
emnized in Grenada it is not saying too
much to state that this one was equal
to the prettiest. There was a harmony
of decorations and a happy blending of
colors and surroundings that captured
at once the eye and entranced the most
aesthetic taste.
The chancel and pulpit were convert
ed into a garden scene. A pergola
covered with yellow rambler roses mad
been arranged and the organ was
fenced in with white lattice work and
also covered with the same roses. The
baptistry had been opened and filled
with ferns and made to show a foun-
tain effect; hanging baskets filled with
sunburst roses swung just back of the
pergola and the south corner of the
church was banked with ferns. Imme-
diately fronting the minister was a
white kneeling stool covered with white
satin and showered with lilies of the
valley and plumosis ferns. The white
ribbon rows were marked with six
white pilasters trailed with ferns and
baskets of sunburst roses rested on
the tops, all being decorated with blue
a,l ,,.lI1,, L.orab .k,T.. ,.l .o-..-
out most artistically the color scheme.
In a semi-circle around the baptistry,
on the lattice work, around the organ
and o. the top of the garden enclosure
burned one hundred and fifty white,
blue and yellow candles which aided
much in bringing out the colors of the
decorations and greatly enhanced the
exquisiteness of the scene.
Before the bridal party arrived Miss
Mary Walker Duncan sang IAN for

The ushers were, Messrs. G. Gran

The bride carried a gorgeous shower
bouquet of white roses and lilies of the
valley, while the brides maids and
a matrons of honor carried bridal staff
baskets filled with yellow sunburst
J roses and ferns. With this picture and
, surroundings mirrored on the mind it is
difficult to portray the ecstasy that
I swayed the anxious crowd as the strains
