A. S wisler, Misses O. V. Dennis, Edna .Berry and Bessie Ross..The hall and stairway were profusely trimmed with large wood ferns and gaily colored dahlias, forming a striking contrast to the delicate pink and white shades in the long front parlor where the ceremony took place. On entering this room from the hall the first thing to attract the eye were the initials ''A11 and **Z” in quaint cut, heavily embossed letters In white and , and resting on a background of dark green ferns; in the corner and extending from the front window to one on the side of the room was “my lady’s bower, ’ ’ a dainty creation in asparagusand 'fine white flowers through wtiich the pink and white' background.sent faint tints; the edge of the shellshaped top was hung with little white bells, a pink fuchsia representing the clapper, while over the center and dependent from the ceiling hung a smilingcupid doing his best to ring a large white' floral bell which waa hung on.pink and white ribbons from the center of the room, and beneath which the bridal party stood; the doorways were draped and hung with bells, while near the piano was an artistic arrangment of potted palms.

C.Peirce entered a little in ad vance andtook his position under the canopy facing the guests: from the nearest entrance came the groom and his bestman, Adial Jones, while from a furfirst on to'red little Georgia attired in. white and scattering flowers in the path of the bride, for whurn she was named, then came Gertrude Anderson as Maid of Honor, and last, but by far the lovliest vision of all, the bride leaning on the arm of her father.Music soft and low, the impressive words of a venerable white-robedclergyman and Mr. and Mrs. Zwisler were receiving the congratulations of their friends.The bride’s gown was of heavy white satin, with a pattern of ribbon caught a carnation pink running throughit. It was trimmed with pearl pass-mentrie and soft laces and made withhigh neck and long sleeves. She wore no jewels, and the bunch of carnations and maiden-hair fern she carried only emphasized the dazzling whiteness of the rest of the costume. The silk tulle was worn off from the face and heldin place by a spray of pinks, and. withwhite gloves and slippers she presented a charming picture. The groom, and his best man were'd messed in the regulation broadcloth, each a perfect fit. Gertrude Anderson was attired in a changeable silk in w hich light blue predominated, cut low and trimmedcranberry velvet and blue chiffon, and she wore blue gloves and slippers.After the serving of refreshments, reading congratulatory telegrams, dancing and general merrymaking, the company repaired to the depot, where amidst a shower of kisses, with now and then a sprinkle of rtee or an old. shoe thrown in. for luck, reluctant farewells were said.The presents bestowed upon theyoung couple made a gorgeous array, occupying one room and comprised almost everything In silver, cut and Bohemian glass;, rare china, embrolderied linens, fancy pillows, etc. If any evidence of their popularity were neededthe long list of gifts would attest It, but Georgia’s frieuds know her to be' possessed of qualities which fit her to“ A guardian angel o'er his life presiding, Doubling his pleasures and his cares dividing,”while Bert Is of such sterling worththat we can ill afford to lose him f ram our business and. social, circles, and though their Interests are at present els*;where, it Is the sincere hope of alltheir friends that ere long we can count G rid ley’s loss our gain.
