Marriage of Miss Porter and Mr. Ferdinand Phinizy In The presence of a number of large concourse of interested friend which taxed the seating capacity o St. Paul's Church; amid the environ ment of beautiful flowers of purest white and to the accompaniment ot music the marriage of Miss Mary Porter and Mr. Ferdinand Phinizy was impressively solemnized at nine o’clock last evening. Rev. G. Sherwood Whitney performing the ceremony, which was followed by a reception at the Porter home, on lower Broad Street, at which the bridal party and two families only were entertained. Beautiful, stately old St. Paul’s, which lends itself to easily to decor ations, was rarely lovely for this oc casion. The entire chancel was bank ed with slender, graceful palms, through which could be caught the glittering gleam of tiers upon tiers of candies which were used against the rerados and which, outlined the altar, the vases of which were filled with stately Easter lilies. Great branches of dogwood blossoms transformed the recess chancel into a bower of starry bloom, and dozens of Eastei; lilies and pure white hydrangeas were used in tulle draped baskets and jardinieres placed about the chancel. The me morial windows were banked in dog wood blossoms and hvgrangeas and the lights that potended from the celling shone through the petals of dogwood blossoms. Mr. Louis fe'ayre presided at the organ and Mr. Walter Bearden with the violin, rendered an entertaining musical program during tlie arrival of the guests, announcing the entrance of the bridal party with the opening strains of Lohengrin’s wedding march. First came the ushers, Mr. Robert C. Neely, Jr., witli Mr Walker Bee son; Mr. Fielding Wallace with Mr. Warren Walker, and Mr James Hull. L. with Mr. Coles Phinizy ' bo w-rti followed by the maids and •”» >, Miss Georgia Hull, the first biidesmaid, who entered alone and who was very lovely in an exquisite gown of while satin with a tunic of lace embroidered in silver and pearls and carrying an armful of Easter lilies. Directly fol lowing her were Miss Mary Cummins with Miss Laura Tobin, Mr. Henry Garrett w-ith Mr. L. H. Charbonnier, Miss Alice Hull with Miss Martha Coleman, Mr. Albert Davidson with Mr. John Tobin. Miss Eleanor Teague with Mrs. R. C. Neely, .Jr., and Mr. John H. Porter with Mr. Irvin Branch. These advanced to the chancel rail, where the maids stood flanked by the groomsmen and ushers. The maids all wore gowns of white lace finished with pearls and girdles of green taf feta, which stimulated the petals of flowers. Their flowers were Easter lilies. The maid of honor, Miss Isaet ta Phinizy. entered alone and wore a gown of green taffeta with a tunic of silver lace, with silver slippers, and carried an armful of Easter lilies. TtuV bride entered with her father, Mr. Augustus Hart I’ort.er, and was met at the chancel rail by the groom, with his best man. Mr. William D’An tignac Walker, and Mr. William Bnsh ( of Baltimore, entered through the vestry. At all times is the bride a radiant vision oT loveliness, but never has she been more beautiful than in her wedding gown, a superb creation ot panne meteor, and as she passed up the long aisle an involuntary hush of admiration passed over the guests so lovely was the vision. The slight girlish figure was enveloped in a gown of soft panne meteor, the waist of which was formed entirely oi Georgette crepe and exquisite Bohe mian lace. The skirt was fashioned with a short tunic of meteor on one side and the other the dainty hand made lace. A pleasing note of digres sion from the t’ereotyped court train was the train which fell from the gir dle and was appliqued the full length with Bohemian lace. The entire gown was hand-embroidered In Easter lilies, the stamen and hearts of which were pearls which were also used about the shoulders of the slightly low bodice, holding the lace and crepe in place. The veil was caught to the hair with orange blossoms and worn over the lace, and the bride’s bouquet was of valley lilies. Immediately after the ceremony the bridal party and families were enter tained Informally at the Porter home, where the decorations carried out the white and green which marked those at th church. The entire lower suite was thrown together and beautifully adorned with Easter lilies and d>g wood blossoms and old time snow balls The congratulations were re ceived in the front parlor where the mantels were banked with maiden hair fern fringed with fragrant old time white pinks. Vases of Easter lilies were used about the mantel and cabinets, and depending from the arch of the folding doors, which was fram ed in smliax and dogwood blossoms, was a delicate green basket, suspend ed by sashed of tulle and filled with Easter lilies. The table in the dining room was a symphony in white and green. Over lying the satin damask cloth was a • cover of- cluny lace In the center of Vhlch was a high silver vase filled with Easter lilies and surrounded by small silver vases filled with dainty valley lilies. Radiating from the cen ter wore delicate garlands of smilsx which reached to the handsome sliver candelabra, which held unshaded can dles. and to the silver comports and t»va which were filled with bonbons done in lilies. Silver baskets were piled high with green and white spun candy balls, snd the bride's cake ss well as all the lnrge and individual cakes, were elaborately Iced in Easter lilies.

K. Murphey, and the secre tary, S. C. Wilson, have been tacked up In public places throughout the city. They cannot help but attract attention. It is the intention of the hoard of health to impress upon the* people of Augusta so strongly the importance of killing files NOW (always every season the earlier the better) that they will enthusiastically enter into the war against the insect that’s a menace In every home. A thousand or more, of the posters ordinary play to standing room. The French operetta, "Adele,” proved to lie one of the very best at tractions of the season. It was unques tionably the musical hit of the year. The music could not fall to he good when it is realized that Jean Briquet, eonipifser of the music for “Alma, Where Do You Live.” whs the author. In the charming Myrlane de Neuvtllo of “Adele” Augustans recognized Miss Nanette Flack, who charmed the pon tile of this city as “Alma.” Nothing Ims been heard here In a long time in a musical way that proved ho delightful us the song “Adele,” which was aung so sweetly by Miss Garoln Thomson, Hie leading woman. The show was splendidly staged and almost every song waa a hit. Indeed, theso French composers, and particu larly Jean Briquet, furnish dreamy, soulful music which charms, soothes and entrances. Miss Carolyn Thomson's voice Is admirably adapted for tho song “Adele” und tho childish manner of her appearance and tlie wonderfully elecr and sweet manner In which sho reached her high notes at once made her a fnvorito with the audience.

The superintendent of schools lias been offered more If he needs them. The “warnings" are be lieved to have a splendid effect on the minds of tho young school chll-i dren. The poster says: “The extermination of the winter fly is the duty of the housewife and of everyone. Don’t let one escape. Catch and kill them all before spring, for tho winter fly Is the parent of summer’s destructive swarms."—"Don’t think because the flics don’t annoy you now that they should not he ’swatted;’ now Is when ’swatting’ Is most effective.” John Park, as Baron do Chantilly, the leading man, was splendid both as an actor and aa a singer. He was ex cellent In the part ot Adele’s husband. George O’Donnell as Henri Parma ceau and Jules Epallly, a,. Alfred Frle bur, the rival sardine manufacturers, were a pair of as clever comedians as one would wish to see. Particularly was Frlebur, the father of Robert, a “perfect scream," to speak colloquially. If you please, and the audience simply, roared with laughter. The costumes were elegant,—and there were more of them than in the "Pollies. ’’ The scenery wns beautiful and particularly clever was the effect of Paris by night and the moonlight and passing clouds outside Adele’s boudoir at Trouvllle. The show carries a splendid orches tra and the music Is under the compe tent. direction of Frank Mandevllle. It 1s no wonder that “Ariele” proved the musical sensation of New York, and It deserved better consideration at the hands of Augusta. T. J.
