celebrated on Wednesday afternoon,

home Of the bride on Clifton street.
When the guests arrived they
were ushered into the front recep-
ton hall and found the entire lower
floor, with every door thrown wide
open, a veritable bower of floral
beauty. lavishly yet aesthetically
decorated in the variegated colors
of sweet peas, white carnations, n.y.
drangeas and ferns, the dominating
color motif being pink and green
shot with white
The ceremony was performed in
the reception hall, in the left corner
of which, as entrance was made from
the front, a bridal altar had been
erected, with imposing arch and
decorated in sweet peas and trailing
green, which the florists designate
johnson vine.
The pre-arranged program began
when the assembled guests had the
pleasure Of hearing two exquisite
vocal selections Beloved, It's
Morn" by Mrs. Leland Cook, Of Ok
mulgee, Okla, with Mrs. Wall Dox-
lie, of Holly Springs, Miss, at the
piano, and Rose Of My Heart" by

ins of the bride.

pointed to the hour little short of
five, the approach of the brides
party was made known by little

the marriage ring, embedded in
sweet peas, on a silver plate.

answered Jack. And to work he went.
His achievements surprised nobody
so much as young Tempest himself.
He stuck to fine job, making it all
