tions of white and green were carried
out with exquisite taste in the hall
and reception rooms. the hall stair
way and ceremony room being carpet
ed with white while palms and ferns
gave the touch of green.
To the stirring strains Of the we'd
ding march rendered by John Poteat,
the bride with her father came down
the stairway, while the groom with
his best man, w. \. Briggs. Jr.. en-
tered from the library and Joined her
at the improvised altar, where they
took the vows that made them hus-
band and wife. The bride looked
unusually lovely in her wedding robe
of Duchess lace with satin court
train over which fell the tulle veil in
graceful folds. The veil was held in
place by sprays Of orange blossoms
and formed a charming setting for
the sirlish face beneath. The only
attendant was the brides young Sis
ter Miss Nellie Grace Charles, who
first entered the ceremony room and
took her place near the altar. The
brides bouquet was composed OF
white roses and lilies of the valley;
while the maid of honor carried
bouquet of Killarney roses, which
harmonized beautifully with her love-
ly> gown of pale green silk and
Duchess lace.

room where delicious punch was
served by Mrs. W. A. Briggs and Miss
Addys Hays. In the dining room

was the occasion of many hopes, fears
and thrills among the young people.

the memory of those so fortunate as
to be present.
The many rich and beautiful pres
ents were evidence of the esteem and
affection in which the bride is held
by a large coterie Of relatives and
friends.

spent all her life in Greenville, where
she has been the centre Of wide cir
Gle of congenial friehds. Her mar
