STOVALL-KNIGHT
WEDDING.


Wallace Oliver Stovall, which took
place in Tampa on Saturday, March
Gath, of which the Tampa Tribune
says:
Last night, at the home of the
bride, No. 80 Hyde Park avenue,
Miss Doris Knight was united in mar
rage to Mr.. Wallace Oliver Stovall.
The entire house was artistically
decorated with pale tinted pink tulips
and asparagus fern, making every
thing look very spring-like. The
l-drawing room was a bower of pink
tulips and asparagus fern. The din
ing table held the brides cake, which
was large heart-shaped one, beau
tifully iced and decorated with pink
rosebuds and valley lilies. AT each
corner of the table was a cut glass
candlestick which was tied with a
fluffy bow of pink maline and held
lighted pink taper. A large vase
of tulips, with candlestick on each
side, was placed on the buffet and the
mantel was banked with fern and
tulips.
The library was beautifully deco
rated with some softly tinted flowers
and pink candles were burning every
where, casting a soft glow over all. In
this room the many handsome pres
ents were displayed, and admired by
the large number of relatives and
friends of the young couple who at
tended the wedding.
The ceremony was performed in the
! music room and it was indeed very
| beautiful with its decorations of
palms, orange blossoms and aspara-
gus fern. A shower of orange bios
SONS and fern descended from the
chandeliers and large bronze candle
labro which was placed on a table
held seven lighted pink tapers. Crys-
tai wall baskets held miniature bou-
quets of orange blossoms. The impro-
vised altar was of palms and on each
side were large bronze condelabra
upon pedestals. These candelabra
have been in the family for more
than 200 years and many couples
have taken their marriage VOWS be-
tween them.
| The ceremony was performed by
the Rev. L. M. Broyles, pastor of the
