Miss Belle Roberts Becomes Bride of
 Mr. HdS55drd

1.-TWO lovely brides made their bows tc
 the world yesterday, and in natty
 A tailored suits, and with hearts filled with the joy of living, started out on the journey of happiness. One ot the weddings was a morning one, and the bride was unattended. The other took place by candlelight, and maids in trocKs of fairy-like filminess went with thelr friend to the altar.
 The marriage of Miss Belle Sumter Roberts and MT. William w. Hazard was one of the most beautiful of the many that Birmingham society has wit messed this season, and when, at the ap- pointed hour last evening, the orchestra struck the chords that signalled the ap- proach of the nuptial party, the large drawing room and hall of the home of Mrs. David Roberts on Altamont road were filled with exquisitely gowned wom- en and men, the especial friends of the young couple.
 The house was 8 bower of pink and green and white. Pink Killarney buds and full blown roses combining with lilies Of the valley and smilax and ferns to effect the charming arrangement. An altar or flowers and ferns, lighted by cathedral candles in seven-branched candelabra, was created at one end of the drawing room, which is separated from the other by three steps, upon which the brides maids arranged themselves for the ser vice.
 As the wedding music by Mendelssohn .-I- fr, !, n h n party, Mrs. Earnest Gaylor of Washing tor a sister of the bride, and Mrs. David Roberts, Jr., held ribbons of tulle which formed an aisle through which the at tendants walked, the former wearing a pretty frock of white lace and tulle, and the latter a becoming gown of pink tai feta.
 MT. Meredith Roberts and MT. H. G. Seibles, groomsmen. were the first of the attendants to enter, and they were inn mediately followed by MT. Munroe Jones and MT. Sorsby Jemison, all of them descending the stairs and standing at each side of the altar. Miss Marguerite Nebers and Miss Augusta Clark came next preceding Miss Alice Hazard and Miss Lydia Eustis and they stood on the steps just at the foot of the altar. Like pink tinted clouds were the frocks of all of the maids, so pale was the taffeta of which they were fashioned and so tilmy the tulle. All were marked by the bouffant skirt and bodice, after the mode of the day, but each was created to be- come the style of the wearer. Quaint for nal bouquets of pink roses and white, fringed with maidenhair fern and futed lace completed their costumes.
 Miss Lucy Pinckard, who attended Miss Roberts as maid of honor, stood at the foot of the steps, with the Rev. Willough- by N. Claybrook, who officiated at the service, and with MT. Hazard and his best man, MT. Valentine Nesbit, as they awaited the coming of the bride. Miss Pinckard's gown was of pink taffeta, and her flowers, too, were pink roses.
 Miss Roberts entered with her brother MT. David Roberts, descending the stairs and standing in the lower drawing room for the betrothal service, and ascending the steps to kneel at the altar for the marriage. Her bridal gown was an ex- quisite thing fashioned of tulle, and soft folds of English thread lace, and her lace Gaylor in her marriage F years ago, was caught with lilies of the valley. Her flowers were white roses in French bouquet.
 The tableau was one of exquisite beauty, reflected as it was in tall mirror just behind the altar of flowers, as the service was being read by Dr. Claybrook, rector of St. Mary s-on-the-Hi Highlands
 After the ceremony Mrs. David Rob-
