Miss Martha Shipper to Mr.. Milton
Allen Snyder, which was solemnized
at the home of the brides parents,

Shipper, both here and in Atlanta,
but also to the numbers of friends
made by Mr.. Snyder during his stay
at Camp Blackjack, as First Lieuten-
ant with the 321st Artillery.
The occasion was distinctively ele-
CANT, and beautiful in every detail.
The entire lower floor of the hand
some home was thrown together and
was effectively decorated in palms
and ferns and trailing vines, and
white cut flowers. TOPICS Orchestra,
from Atlanta, palyed popular airs un-
til the hour of the ceremony, when
Lohengrin's Bridal Chorus pealed out
and a hush fell on the throng of
guests as the bridal party appeared.
The brides maids descended the
stairs alone land each was met at the
foot by a groomsman, the two en-
tering the drawing-room together.

which was frozen in the form of dain-
ty green slippers, filled with whip
ped cream.
