simplicity; the altar and choir wer
concealed by a mass of smylax and
ferns, while at intervals, tall whit
baskets filled with pink roses and
~gladiolas were placed.
Before the ceremony a most pleas
ing musical program was rendered by
four friends of the bride. Perfect
Day was the first given by Mrs.

Dawning" in her inimitably beautiful
voice; after which Miss Jane Casey

gave "Love, 1 Know"
The bridal party then entered to
the strains of Mendlessohn's wedding

entered: Miss Gibson, of Greenwood,
with Mr.. Will Roberts, of Memphis,
and Miss Louise Anne Roberts with

followed by the little ring-bearer

a gilded basket trimmed with valley
lilies and tulle.
AS the wedding music changed
from Mendlessohn's to Lohengrin's,
the bride entered on the arm of her
uncle, Mr.. Walter S. Wingfield, who
gave her in marriage. She
looked sweeter nor lovlier than she
did in her tailored suit of peach

set with diamonds, the gift Of the
