other side, Master James Brown,
young son of Mr. and Mrs. C. B.

He bore the wedding ring in an
exquisite white satin rose, and
his costume was a white satin
evening suit.
The bride, who is of an unus
ually charming type of beauty,
wore a wedding gown of white
charmeuse trimmed with real
lace and seed pearls. She carried
a gorgeous bride’s muff of white
satin, showered with lillies of the
valley. Her veil was gracefully
caught back with a sprig of or
ange blossoms, and her sole orna
ment was a pendant of pearls
and diamonds, the gift from the
groom. She entered on the arm
of her brother, Mr. John Roberts,
and was met at the altar by the
groom and his best man, Mr.
Jack Lester.
The beautiful ring ceremony
was most impressively performed
by Rev. 1. P. Tyson, uncle of the
bride, and while the words were
spoken that made them man and
wife, Mrs. Hendricks played
softly ‘“The Flower Song.”” The
bridal party left the church to
the strains of Lohengrin’s wed
ding march.
After the ceremony, an infor

of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Roberts,
and during her residence of three

and lovable disposition has won
for her many friends. Besides
being a most attractive young
woman, she is very accomplished,

Red Cross stamps can be pro
cured at any of the banks of the
city. It has been customary for
years to use these stamps on
Christmas packages and letters
sent at the Yuletide, and the reve-~
nue accuring therefrom is added
to an appropriation for the cure
of consumptives. They are deeoj
rated with a very pretty design
done in Christmas colors and look
neat on a package or letter. They
sell for one cent and you will help
a good cause by putting one on all
your packages and letters.
