MILLER-DAVIS

The elimination of much of Ocala's
social activity of the past week was
the wedding this afternoon at the
Presbyterian church when Miss Mary
Elizabeth Davis became the bride of
Mr.. Charles Guy Miller.
The little church lends itself beau
tifully to decoration. Long sprays of
bamboo and delicate sprays of feathery
plumosa fern combined with the tiny
heart-shaped flower of delicate pink of
the love vine were used to carry out
the pink and green color motif. Sprays
Of fern were used on the walls be-
TWEEN the windows with punches of the
same on all the shaded center lights.
On either side of the organ the walls
were banked with long-stemmed
bamboo and just in front of this over
each aisle was an arch of the same
and the two were joined by a third
arch which rose above the rostrum.
Suspended from this center arch was
big white wedding bell, beneath
which the ceremony was performed.
At the base of the arches tall candle
sticks with white tapers were placed,
and just in front and to either side
OF the center arch were two white
pedestals twined with plumosa fern
and surmounted by branched Candida
bra. Tall candles were also used eff
fectively on the piano and in front OF
the organ. Long sprays of the love
vine showing delicate pink where it
was entwined with the dark green of
the fern.
Before the ceremony Mrs. Phillip
Murphy, accompanied at the piano by
Miss Byrd Wartmann, sang sweetly
90 Promise Me-" by Reginald De-
Koven, and "At Dawning," by Charles
Wakefield Cadman. Just at four
o'clock to the strains of the Lohengrin
Wedding March the bridal party en-
tered the church from the rear, the
bridesmaids and ushers coming first.
Miss Nina Camp entered from the
right and at the same time Mr.. Joe
Borden entered from the left, and ad-
vanced together up the aisle, meeting
at the foot of the rostrum and cross
ing to the opposite sides. Next in the
same order came Miss Ava Lee Ed
wards and Mr. Robert MacKay, like.

to opposite sides. Mrs. Norton Davis
matron of honor, followed the maids
and the ushers, advancing up the left
aisle and after her came Miss Meme
Davis, sister of the bride and her maie

The bride entered from the left OF
the arm of her brother, Mr.. Morton
Davis, and they were met at the altar
by the groom and his best man, Mr.
C. C. Bennett, who had entered from
the study as the other members o:
the wedding party entered from thu
