There would be no %fortiication ON

to move an army with its guns and

the trip.

"In two days the organization would

parlor and wedding room. The libra
ry and dining room were filled with
roses and greenery. The punch bow
er was constructed of plumosa fern,
roses and pink tulle; the chancel arch
was most artistic creation of shasta

small electric bulbs hidden among the
ferns gave a fairyland appearance

full colonial creation of pink taffeta,
with green chiffon, silver lace, and la
vender chiffon flowers, carrying pink
roses. Next came the petite and
charming little Lillian Phillips as

of lilies of the valley. Her dress
was of white organdie ruffes and

valley and white tulle. The bride
followed, leaning on the arm of her
father, who gave her in marriage.
They were met at the chancel bv the
minister, Rev. c. NJ. Afford, D. d.,
