joining room where the brides book,
a lovely handpainted gift, was in
charge of Miss Eloise Fulford, and
then to the spacious living room with
its open stair where the ceremony
took place. In the alcove end of the
room banked against the high win
dows with their rose-colored draper
les, were wonderful ferns forming the
rich background of the dais that
marked the altar. In the foreground
were tall wicker vases holding gor-
geous chrysanthemums Of deepest
yellow hue. Forming aisles to the
right and left were pedestal candle
sticks of brass bearing large single
candles of rose pink, and linked to-
gether with heavy gold cords. The
chandeliers had rose-colored globes
and shed a soft light over the room
| which was empowered throughout
with smilax and lovely flowers.
Just before the wedding process
sional began, Masters Clinton and
Julian Shingler, of Ashburn, little
nephews of the bride, lighted the cam
dies, then from the adjoining music
room was heard the soft strains of
violin and piano in beautiful noe
turne. Following this was the favor
tie opera aria, "My Heart at Thy
Sweet Voice." sung in French by
Miss Nell Jewel Howe. At the
sound of the Mendelssohn march, the
matron of honor who was the brides
sister, Mrs. c., F. Shingler, of Ash
burn, descended the vine-entwined
staircase that formed one side of the
living room. She was wearing an
elegant cloth gown of rose color,
squirrel trimmed, and hat of gold
lace. She carried sweetheart roses
for her corsage.
Then followed the winsome bride
on the arm of her father who gave
her in marriage. She was gowned in
her travelling suit of black satin, the
hat matching and garnitured with sill
yer lace and with luxurious wrap
heavily trimmed in squirrel. Her cor
! sage bouquet was of orchids showered
with valley lilies. Meeting her at the
altar, the bridegroom was accom-
panied by his groomsman, Mr.. B. E,
| Wilcox, of Fitzgerald. just here the
wedding party paused while Miss
Howe sang softly with thrilling eff
feet, "The Sweetest Story Ever
Told" The impressive words of the
marriage rites were spoken by Rev.
Robert Kerr of the Triton Methodist
Church, soft musical accompani-
ment being given throughout by the
violin and piano, Angels Serenade
and Souvenir, being used. During the
informal reception that followed the
wedding ceremony DR.. and Mrs. JUL
ian were assisted in greeting the
guests by their daughter, Mrs. C. F.
Shingler, of Ashburn; their son, Mr..
George Julian, of Atlanta, and the
groom's mother, Mrs. C. T. Garden,
of Fitzgerald, and the groom's sister.
Mrs. B. E. Wilcox, of Fitzgerald.

with coffee and cream and rose minis
