HARRISS-PARROTT

On Wednesday afternoon, Grace
Episcopal church was the scene of a
fashionable wedding, one of the pref
test that was ever solemnized in
Ocala, when Miss Mary Isabelle Par
rott became the bride of Mr.. Albert
Owens Harriss.
The church was beautifully decorat-
ed with southern smilax. In the main
body of the church it was used over
the arches of all the windows, and the
chancel which lends itself admirably
to decoration was bower of the same
sides of the choir stalls had been COW
Grad in white and over this a network
of asparagus fern formed a dainty
green tracery. The rude screen and
arch at the entrance to the chancel
were likewise wound with fern and
from the center of the arch hung
big white wedding bell. Big@pink car
nations were used exclusively as the
flowers for decoration. On the altar,
the pulpit, lectern and litany desk
stood vases filled with these flowers
and on either side of the arch large
clusters of these flowers were used.
The glossy, dark leaves of smilax
against the white of the altar hang
ings, the delicate pink of the flowers,
made a beautiful background for the
wedding party, the tall lighted tapers
on the altar shedding a soft glow over
all.

Grace church, played preliminary

lowing numbers: The wedding Song"
(Widor); the wedding Song" de
