buoyant as they should be with
life's prospects and promises be-
fore them. The new church, beau
tiful in its outward and inward fin
ish. was made still more attractive
bv the floral decorations which the
Young friends of the contracting
parties had deftly and tastefully
prepared for the occasion. A large
arch spanned the chancel fronting
the pulpit; from it's center hung a
nicely shaped bell made of ever
green, the clapper of which was
formed of white flowers. Vases of
fragrant flowers set about the
chancel sent out a rich perfume.
At the proper time the wedding
party entered the church to the en-
livening strains of MendelShon's
wedding march from the skillful
hands of H. A. Cleaver of Chesa-
peake City, Md, who presided at
the organ. The candidates for the
high and honorable estate of mat
rimony-Theodore F. Johnson and
Miss Lille Heitshu-were preceded
by the groomsmen in full dress,
Clayton M. Riley of st. Georges;
William T. Johnson and Lewis M.
Price, Smyrna; and H. L. Bowman
of Lancaster. They were followed
by the Maids of Honor, Miss Mamie
Heitshu, Smyrna; Miss Mamie Full
ton, Dover; Miss Laura Johnson,
Milford; Miss Lille Brown, Dover.
Cove Taylor and John Mustard did
the honors of receiving the guests
at the church doors. On reaching
the minister in waiting, the attend
ants separated ON either side while
the bride and groom took their
stand under the bell and the Rev.
]. T. Umsted, pastor of the Pres
byterian Church of Smyrna, in an
impressive manner performed the
solemn service of uniting the
young couple in the holy bonds of
matrimony. The ceremony was
further sealed by the use Of the
wedding ring, beautiful in its sym
boil of the Union of two hearts.
The brides dress of white Ottoman
silk and brocade satin with court
train was completely covered with
veil of tulle, caught up here and
there with clusters of orange bios
SONS The Maids of Honor were
suitably attired in white dresses
composed of silk and cashmere,
and each wore a beautiful bouquet
of flowers. The wedding over, the
bridal party took carriages for the
residence of Thomas B. Megear
where they received the congratu-
/ lations of their friends, after which
they took the SIT train for a tour
among the mountains of Pennsyl-
vania. The presents to the bride
were many, handsome and valu-
