nounces the marriage of her daughter,
Harriet Caroline, to George M. Brown,
Jr., of Atlanta, on Sunday evening,
April 11, at 9 o’clock.
This announcement comes as a great
surprise to the Atlanta friends of
both these young people and, although
their engagement had been known in
their own circle of friends for about
two years, it was thought the wedding
would take place in October.
The ceremony was performed by
the Rev. M. F. Smith at the home of
the bride’s mother and only the Im
mediate family were present.
Mr. and Mrs. Brown are now at
home with the bridegroom’s parents,
Mr. and Mrs. George M. Brown, on
Peachtree street.
As Miss Briggs, Mrs. Brown fre
quently has visited Miss Corrie Hoyt
Brown and was here for some time
last fall. For several years she at
tended school at the Washington
Seminary and, with her mother, spent
the summers here, taking a home in
Ansley Park, so that she already has
a number of friends here to welcome
her. There probably will be a series
of entertainments for her.

lax formed a mural decoration
throughout the house and the bride’s
table was adorned with Lady Hilling-
ton roses and valley lilies in pyra
mid effect, with all minor details in
yellow and white.
The bride was lovely in robes of
white tulle over white satin, with a
garniture of lace and pearls, and she
carried valley lilies showered with

veil was worn over the face and ad
justed with orange blossoms.

lace with wide yellow girdles and they
carried Lady Hillington roses. The
