sive ring ceremony. The bride was Miss
Gladys Mcmillan, the charming daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Neill Cuyler Mcmillan,
and the groom was Mr.. John Mckenzie
Gum, formerly of Cuthbert, Ga. and
the son of Mr., and Mrs. John D. Gum
of that city.
On account of the recent bereavement
in the family of the bride, no invitations
were issued to the wedding, and the
nuptial ceremony was very simple, yet
beautiful in its simplicity
Potted plants, smilax palms and ferns
were used in the decorations, and the
altar was banked with these, furnishing
an exquisite background for myriads OF
large white chrysanthemums that tossed
their stately heads from immense vases
four in number.
over this enchanting scene a soft glow
fell from three chandeliers as five can
dies each placed in the center and on
each end of the large altar. The two
middle aisles of the church were par
TALLY partitioned off with rich satin rib
bon, and dainty greenery, and friends
the pews by way of the side aisles, fill
ing the church to capacity. The front
pews were reserved for relatives and
intimate friends of the couple. Acting
as ushers were Messrs. Warren Pier
pOnt, d. Cooper Pate, McDavid and Paul
Caro-.
The bride, who was given in marriage
by her father, looked lovely in an ex-
quisite gown of brocaded cut velvet on
chiffon, built in medieval lines, the waist
long and plain, the short open sleeves
caught together with two rows of pearls
and the left side of the skirt held with
a lovely pearl ornament, the pearl dan
giles falling almost to the uneven hem of
the skirt. Her tuIle veil, held by a coro-
net of lace and orange blossoms, fell
gracefully over the long train of chiffon
and silver cloth embroidered in pearls
and rhinestones. Orchids and a shower
of lilies of the valley formed the bridal
bouquet.
The matron Of honor. Mrs. H. Shelby
Sanders, Jr., of Louisville, Ky, a sister
of the BRIDE was charming picture in
a toilette of blue satin trimmed in sill
yer, and the maid of honor, Miss Ida
Jones Mcmillan, the youngest sister of
the bride, was lovely in blue georgette
also trimmed in silver, and the bouquet
of each was a Dresden Cascade bouquet
of pink roses.
Miss CharliebeIIe Laney presided at
the pipe organ, and as pre-nuptial
selection rendered 'Tdyl" by Kinder,
after which Mrs. Terrell Covngton sang,
beloved, 1t Is Morn" the bridal party
then entering to the strains of the Bridal
Chorus from Lohengrin. Miss Ida Jones
Mcmillan, the maid of honor, entered
first, followed by Mrs. Sanders, the mat
ron of honor, who was in turn followed
by the bride, who entered with her
father, to be met at the altar by the
groom and his best man, his father, Mr..
John D. Gum. During the taking of the
love vows Miss LaneX softly played 80
Perfect Love-" and just before the bene-
diction Mrs. Covington sang one verse
of "Because." When DR.. Moncrief had
pronounced the benediction the happy
Young couple turned and left the church
to the strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding
March.

centfon was held for the members of the
