terest was solemnized at $3.50 o'cloc
last evening, when Miss Mildred Berg
son became the bride of Mr.. A. b
Marks of Waterproof, La, DR.. r.
Sarachek officiating.
The handsome home of Mrs. Ros
Bergson, mother of the bride, wher
the wedding took place and where thu
relatives and friends gathered to wit
ness the nuptIals, was transformed
into beautiful picture. The brida
appointments were exceedingly at
tractive. Hands of love converted tie
home into veritable bower of flow
ers, rich and fragrant, which were ar
ranged in various artistic designs. The
green background of flowing vines wai
enhanced by many ferns, some mas
sive and strong, some dainty and ten
der. In the double parlors, where the
ceremony took place, pink roses and
shasta daisies were garlanded by the
correct touch of trailing ferns, with
large vase boquets of these flowers be-
ing placed to advantage. The color
scheme was apparently an effort to
rival the beauty OF the bride-pUk
and white-which was artistically
carried out. The bridal altar was
arched with white lattice work which
was entwined with smilax and drape d
with sweet peas, and suspended from
the center of the arch was beautiful
white bell-studded with the pink ini-
tials of the contracting parties
whose silent chimes fioated upon the
air like perfumed glory. In the other
decorations the sweet peas were ia
vored and in effective contrast smilax
was entwined over the doors and win
dows. The lights of the chandeliers
were shaded with pink crepe and tied
with pink ribbon, casting rosy glow
over th6lovely scene.
Upon arrival the guests were greet
ed at the entrance by Mrs. Bert Berg
son, Miss Rose MUIR of Chicago, Miss
Anna Stone of Dallas, and Miss Rob-
erta Hochwald, who directed them to
the punch bowl, arranged under an
inviting green bower, where punch
was served by Misses Elsie and Elise
Bergson. At the door the guests were
met by Mrs. Rosa Bergson and daugh-
ter, Miss Cammile.
Miss Cammile Bergson, sister of the
bride, becOmingly gowned in grey
georgette, with corsage boquet Of
sweet peas, presided at the piano, and
at the appointed hour set all hearts
throbbing in eager expectancy by the
strains of Lohengrin's Bridal Chorus,
which was effectively played. Little
Maurine and Sam Kranson, niece and
nephew of the bride, led the process
sional, carrying bands of white rib
bon which marked the bridal path.
The small ribbon bearers, all in
white, were as captivating as dainty
attire can make upon such occasions.
Behind them came the groom, whose
face, lighted by bright smile, be-
spoke happiness many times manifold
ed, attended by his best man, Maurice
B. MUIR of Chicago, cousin of the
bride. Miss Essie Marks of Water

maid. Of honor, beautifully gowned in
peach georgette, deliberately braided,
and carrying an arm boquet of sun.
burst Killarney roses, proceeded the
bride, who entered on the arm of her
brother, Bert Bergson.
The bride, exceedingly attractive at
all times, was especially lovely to look
upon. Her youthfulness was empha-
sized by her exquisite gown of white
georgette elaborate with beaded bod
ice and panniers adornment. She
wore smart, white hand embroidered
georgette hat. A gorgeous shower
boquet of BRIDES roses and lilies of
the valley completed the stunning
bridal toilette.
The bridal party made a pretty
group as they formed their lines of
service under the pretty wedding bell,
where DR.. r. ]. Sarachek, using the
ring ceremony, united the
happy couple.
The love and esteem in which these
two young people are held, was
evinced by the unusal interest shown
In every detail of their marriage.
Mrs. Marks is young lady of unus-
nal charm of manner. She is cultured
and attractive and admired by q large
circle OF friends. The removal from
Marshall of the gifted and popular
bride will be keenly felt by her friends
here, and Waterproof's social circles
will be the richer thereby.
The groom, Mr.. A. B. Marks, is the
son of Mrs. Sam Marks, of Water
proof, La. and is in every way worthy
of his bride. He is an enterprising
young business man and all who know
him esteem and respect him. Since

handed q prominent place in the
business world and Is facing q bright
future.
