apple blossoms and forget-me-notS
were used in profusion throughout
the living room. The bride was

corsage bouquet was composed of
roses, lilies of the valley and maid
en- hair fern.
Immediately after the ceremony,
a luncheon was served in the dim
ing room which had been convert
ed into spring garden. The color
scheme was in blue and gold ana
flowers of these colors were used.
Forget-me-nots, irises and mari
colds were used in the baskets that
covered the festive board and hung
from the chandeliers. The place
cards and table appointments were
of blue and gold.
On the afternoon train the
young couple left for Portland.
After the honeymoon that may ex-
tend for some time, they will make
their home in Dallas.
The guests were only the i'm
mediate members of the family.

Mrs. George Scott Of Seaside, Mrs.
