rived for the double ring ceremony
which the Rev. william II. Peck
performed at pm.
The interior of the church needed
little additional decoration to en-
nance its natural beauty. A simple
arrangement OF white NUNS was
used upon the altar. Palms served
as a background. while the sun
streamed through the stained-glass
windows and shone upon the whole
scene.
Mrs. Theodore white sang. "Be-
cause" before the ceremony began.
When Mrs. Vernon Boyd played
the first notes OF Mendelssohn's
Wedding Mach" at the organ. the
eyes OF the entire congregation
turned to catch the first glimpse OF
the bridal party.
The brides attendants wore blue
and rose and were dressed alike in
frocks and period design. The bod
ices were OF velyeteen OF deep. rich
tones, while the full skirts were OF
lighter shade OF the same color in
taffeta. The torso waists. which but
toned down the back, were distin-
guished by pointed edges, puffed
sleeves and high necks. The head
pieces consisted of fabric flower
halos, which held wisty wells that
matched their dresses. Each maid
carried a loose arm bouquet OF
gold and bronze NUNS. Ann Sey-
mour and Ruby King wore blue.
while Edith Arlington and Thelma
Simms were in rose.

quisite in its simplicity. The sweet
heart neckline was outlined by
broad band OF embroidered pearls
and beads. The long sleeves ended
In points over the wrists. while the
slender waist. which buttoned down
the back, extended into an oval
train. A tiara OF pearls held the
long tulle veil which covered the
train. The face veil was caught
with clusters OF lilies-of-the-valley.
The bride carried an arrangement
OF white baby NUNS. Her only orr
nament was single string OF
pearls.
Oscar Pearson assisted the groom,

clear voice that could be heard all
over the auditorium.
