full round room where one may look
up into the dome, and to the second
floor where a circular hall runs around
the entire size of the rotunda. Here
the arch was placed before which the
happy couple plighted their troth.
Across the tops of the heavy frames
OF the doorways and around the cir
cular hall on the second floor, pink
cosmos were banked, interviewer with
green smilaX, and studded with crys-
tai candlesticks in which white tapers
CLEANED. Over the arch and on each
side where tall candelabra stood, the
same white tapers burned. Two bas
kets, holding white chrysanthemums
flanked the arch, and three tall slen-
der wicker chrysanthemum holders
connected with white tulle and holding
pink chrysanthemums, formed the
aisle for the bridal party.
Just before the ceremony Miss Alice
Lenore Tucker sang most beautifully,
Come to Me-" Mrs. l.. P. Longimo's
sweet voice was never more appealing
than in her singing of Consistency, by
Weber. Mrs. j. S. Allen played the
nuptial music from Lohengrin on her
violin equisitely, and at the end of
this, accompanied by Mrs. Emmett
Barnes, Jr., as pianist, the wedding
n.arch was started. Little Miss Dor
othy Parks, as bridesmaid, came first,
wearing white georgette. She was
followed by Miss Catherine Parks,
maid of honor, who was gOwned in
pink. Both carried Russell roses. Lit
tie Miss Virginia Cooper was little
fairy all in white with a short veil
and with her flower basket from which
she dropped rose petals in the path
way of the bride. The groom, attend
ed by his best man, Mr., Marvin Parks
j., brother of the bride, met the
bride who was given away by her
father, DR.. M. M. Parks, at the altar
Rev. Luke johnson of Atlanta, uncle
of the bride, in a lovely and impress
sive ceremony changed her name and
made the happy couple one. The
BRIDES dress was a simple and girlish
creation of white cut velvet and she
wore a veil which reached to the hem.
Orange blossoms fastened the veil,
ard her bouquet was brides roses
showered with valley lilies. The
brides mother was handsome in a
gown of black georgette.
After the wedding ceremony the
bridal party stood in line for the re-
ception which followed, and finally
adjourned to the library where the
brides cake was cut. In this room,
ali banked with splendid ferns, the
center table bore the cake. Suspended
from the chandelier directly over the
cake was huge shower of white tulle
and valley lilies which itself looked
like brides bouquet. Crystal can
delabra with white candles and com
potes, bearing pink heart mints, grac-
ed the table and lent their support to
g miniature bride and groom which
stood beneath the shower upon the top
of the cake.
In the drawing room where refresh
ments were served, the presents sent
this happy couple were tastefully ar
ranged on handsome tables. This
room was most artistically decorated
in pink roses and ferns. The mantle
was banked with green, and on it were
silver candelabra burning pink tapers.
In the center was a vase of Kilarny
roses, and baskets of these beauties
also graced the tables. Lending to the
daintiness of appearance and carrying
out the idea with a wee old fashioned
touch, was the trailing vines on the
handsome lace curtains on which pink
cherokee roses blossomed. Around

that it should have been here to heir
the old Mansion celebration at its only
real sure enough wedding.
About $50 after eluding the rice
tlirowers, the young couple escaped,
refusing to tell the crowd for what
place they were bound.
The bride is the charming daughter
of DR.. and Mrs. M. M. Parks, most
lovable young woman, who will grace
the home of her husband with all the
dignity and sweetness that woman
can own. The groom is a splendi |
young business man of Pocomoke
City, Md, and the romance of their
meeting in the Land of Flowers where
the bride has taught for two years,
