about the middle of the week and will
make their home at 518 North Baylen
street. Mr.. Hendrick has scores of
friends in the city and his bride will
find a most cordial welcome awaiting
her in Pensacola society.
Quite tire most beautiful wedding
of a number of seasons, yet with SIM
plicity its keynote, was that of Miss
Agnes Thurman Winchester, only
daughter of Mr.. Thomas Pendleton
Winchester, of 118 North Nineteenth
street, to Mr.. julius Hendricks, OF
Pensacola, Florida, which was SOL
amnized last night at half-after eight
o'clock at the First PresbyteriaU
church.
The church was decorated in pro-
fusion of palms and ferns. The altar
rail was fringed with potted ferns and
white wisteria. Tall white wicker bas-
kets of Easter lilies were arranged on
either side of the pulpit. The rich
green and virginia. white made beau
tlfui background for the rainbow

gowns of those in the bridal party.
Mr.. Fred G. Smith presided at the
organ accompanied by Miss Gretchen
Youmans, on the violin, playing a de-
lightful program of wedding music
during the arrival of the guests who
filled the church with a brilliant as
semblage.
Schubert's "Serenade' was the first
number followed by "Liebstraum-a
Dream of Love- by List. All the
plsintive sweetness of Because"
floated softly through the church
during the solemnization of the cere-
mony. Just before the entrance of the
bridal party, Mr.. Roy M. Johnston's
rich baritone was heard TO advantage
in Cadman's ''At Dawning." The Bridal
Chorus from Lohengrin was played as
a professional and Mendelssohn' $
wedding march as a occasional.
The ushsrs, Messrs. Stuart Miller.
Cecil Warner, Robert Henry Jackson
ana Harry Preston Warner entered
first by twos, followed by Miss Ann
Henderson, as maid Of honor, who en-
tered alone. She wore a frock of pale
blue taffeta with trimmings of tulle
and silver lace and carried huge arm
bouquet of Shasta daisies. Next came
Mrs. James S. Rogers CWales, Temp,
a first cousin of the bride, the matron
of honor. Her gown was of pale pink
taffeta with an overdress of pink net
with garniture of pearls. She carried
a colonial corsage of lavender and
white sweet peas and frezias from
which depended streamers of lavender
ribbon tied with lavender sweet peas.
Following the matron Of honor and
preceding the bride were two very
charming little flower girls, the little
Misses Anne Tucker and Mariana
Johnston. They looked very fairy-hke
in quaint white organdie frocks with
white n ct ruff1es, completed by caps
of white taffeta with perky bows at
side. They carried baskets filled with
pink, white and lavender sweet peas,
the handles tied with white tulle.
Lastly came the charming bride on the
arm of her father, never more lovely
than in her shimmering bridal robe
of Liberty satin with trimmings of
Chantiily lace. A full court train of
the satin fell from her shoulders, the
outer edges outlined with cascades of
the Chantilly lace. Her veil was held
with a coronet of orange blossoms.
She carried a shower bouquet of lilies
of the valley and orchids. The bridal
party was met at the altar by the
groom and his best man. Mr.. Lawrence
Pierce, of Atlanta, Ga. The Rev. Mr..
William Writ Harrison, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church officiated,
assisted by the Rev. ]. T. Mcclure, of

at the home of the brides father, for
the bridal party and most intimate

Few weddings have awakened the
widespread interest of the Hendricks
Winchester nuptials, due not alone to
the prominence of the brides family,
but very largely TO the charm and
graciousness of the bride herself.

OF young womanhood of which the
south is justly proud, and she carries
with her the admiration and affection
of countless friends to her new home.

has been active in musical circles, as
well as taking a prominent part in
the work of the church, where her loss
will be keenly felt.
