in yellow crepe de chine and carried a
bouquet of American Beauties, was
attended by MISS KATHERINE FORBES, who wore
white and carried an armful
of yellow Ward roses, while MR. JAMES
ALEXANDER was the best man. The
groom's sister, MISS RUTH, played the wedding
march and MISS FERN ESTES
sang, "I Love You Truly." The floral
decorations consisted of an arch
of white and yellow roses banked with ferns
and smilax and table
decorations of the same. The guests present

among a large circle of
friends. The bride was a teacher in the Leon
