THURSDAY, APRIL 30. Marriage of Miss Pearce and Mr. Marion Symms It has been long since there has been solemnized at First Baptist church a more beautiful marriage than that last night of Miss Claudia Rochelle Pearce and Mr. Marion Stovall Symms, wh eh occurred at nine o’clock in the presence of a large and interested throng of friends that taxed the seating capacity of the spacious church. The magnificent church was flooded with the brilliant light from the hundreds of lights which radiate from ceiling to dome and the en tire pulpit was one mass of glowing light and exquisite bloom. The church was carpeted in white and adorned with many slender graceful palms which were placed from the front doors up the cen tral aisle to the pulpit, arching their vernal loveliness and forming an aisle of green through which the wedding guests passed. The pulpit was banked with slender palms caught with garlands of filmy tulle, while gold baskets hold ing fragrant Easter lilies were placed on white pedestals ahout the pulpit. The baptistry was adorned with delicate cur tains of tulle against which were placed garlands of smilax and haske.ts of lilies, the choir loft was wreathed in garlands of smilax and high above all was su spended a chime of pure white wedding bells. Tall single candlesticks held unshaded candles and many branched brass can delabra formed apexes of light about the pulpit the top of which was framed in a row of glittering candles. Midway up the central aisle under the center arch of palms were placed gates of smilax and white blossoms, the one note of color in the decorations being an airy bow of-yellow tulle which caught the garlands together at the top. Mr. Thompson presided at the organ and Miss Mertel Black with the violin, entertained the large audience of guests with delightful musical selections pend ing the arrival of the bridal party, which entered to the strains of Logengrinn's wedding march. First came the two small pages. Master Charlie Sibley and Master Allen Symms, who wore white linen suits and who entered together opehing the gates and holding them ajar for the bridal party. The ushers, Mr. H. M. Coleman, of Atlanta, with Mr. George Schmidt and Mr. Fabian Agrell with Mr. Howard Walker first entering, ad vanced to the pulpit and awaited the en trance of the maids who entered alone. Miss Virginia Coleman, of Culverton, en tering first, was followed by Miss Minnie Duncan. Miss Myrtle McGinty next ad vancing was followed by Miss Callie Pickett of Union Springs, Ala., little Carrie Duncan Winter, the dainty little ring-bearer, who entered alone carrying a gold basket filled with yellow roses and an Easter lily, in the heart of which was the two rings used in the cere mony.

Never has the lovely young bride been prettier than in her wedding gown of soft white crepe charmeuse fashioned with a tunic from which fell a flounce of lace and the bodice being formed en tivdy of pearl embroidered chiffon and delicate lace. The long court train was held in place just above the waist-line with a butterfly of pearls from which depended dainty cascades of delicate lace. Crowning the hair was a wreath of natural orange blossoms from which the veil, worn off the face, fell. Her flowers were bride roses showered with valley lilies. The maids all wove beautiful gowns of white charmeuse with lace tunics and bodices finished with brilliants and bandeaux of brilliants and all carried showers of white sweetpeats caught with yellow tulle. The maid of honor was very lovely in a yellow crepe meteor and yellow chif fon with trimmings of gold lace. Her slippers were gold and her flowers a shower of white sweetpeas caught with yellow tulle. Aftev the ceremony the bridal party left the church in reverse order, the pages going first however, and again holding the gates. After the church ceremony about an hundred and twenty-five friends were entertained at the Peavce home on Woodlawn avenue, which was beauti fully adorned for this auspicious occa sion. The entire lower suite was given over to the guests and adorned with a profusion of fragrant flowers. In the drawing room where the young couple received congratulations there was a profusion of staely EasteV lilies and bride roses effectively used with delicate ferns and house palms. In the library and living room across the spacious flower-decked hall, there were hundreds of fragrant flowers used in all their varying loveliness, but it was in the din ing-room that the heighth of avtistic perfection was attained in the decora tions which carried out the bridal tones of white and yellow. Mantel and buf fet. stands and cabinets, were banked with white roses and whitA sweetpeas massed In low flat bowls, and filling cut glass vases. The large round table at which the bridal party was seated was simply exquisite. A handsome cloth of cluny lace was used for a cover In the ccntVe of which was a mirror-laked edged with delicate fronds of fern and yellow flowers over which fluttered yel low gauze jeweled butterflies. In the centre was a handsome silver vase fill ed with bride roses and sweetpeas. Crys tal candlesticks held gleaming candles shaded with yellow rose shades and at each guests’s place was a tiny gold bas ket to the handle of which was caught by a bow of yellow ribbon, a cluster of sweetpeas. the baskets being filled with daffodil bon-bons and containing the sou venirs for the attendants, for the maids, gold wishbone brooches, and foV the Kippered Herring, a can 7c Salmon.

The lights of the chandelier above were shaded by yellow tulips and the entire chandelier envelo-pd in a mist of yellow tulle through which the light filtered down in a Vadiantly lovely sun shiny effect. The entire upper hall was given over to the display of the ele gant gifts sent this poular young couple and amid the many elegant things that spoke so eloquently of their popularity, was an elbgant gold meat platter for the First Baptist Sunday school and a beautiful table cloth of Japanese linen sent by the bride's class, the Little Sun beams. Punch was served all during the even ing by Bessie Duncan and Miss Perrett, who wearing lovely gowns of yellow chif fon, presided over the punch bowl which was placed at one end of the l**oad piaz za and which was served from a well the depths of which were lighted by the softened glow from a Japanese lantern. Mrs. Thomas Rabb had charge of tho bride’s book in which the guests regis tered, and Bearden’s orchestra furnished delightful music all during the evening. During the evening the bride changed her gown for a becoming tailored suit of blue poplin with hat to match and accompanied by the most cordial of good wishes Mr. and Mrs. Symms left for a trip through Florida. On their return they will make their home at the Pearce home where they will have a beautiful apartment already prepared and furn ished for housekeeping. As the bride descended the stairs on the way to the carriage she tossed her bouquet Into the group of girls in the lower hall, Miss Callie Pickett catching it with attendant omen.

PLAY TO BF. GIVEN BY THE NORTH AUGUSTA HIGH SCHOOL. The senior class of the Schultz High School has dramatized Galth and Lynette from Tennyson's Idylls of the King, and will present it with the assistance of other pupils on Fri day evening, May Ist, for the benefit of the library. The play endeavors to give us a picture of the old Arhtu rian times of the valor and chivalry of the height, the beauty and courage of the women. For those who may have forgotten the poem we shall indicate the plot. Gaieth, the hero, has so great a wish to join Arthur’s knighthood, in accordance with a condition his mother made, he goes to the court disguised as a tiller of the soil, and takes service as a kitchen-knave. The mother never dreamed that he would go under such conditions, but finding that he did so, she sends a messenger releasing him from his promise. The king then, at his entreaty, promises to keep his name bidden, and to grant him the first quest. Presently Lynette, a lady of high lineage, ushers into the court and asks for a knight to cope her quest and release’ her sister who has been imprisoned in a castle by four lawless knights. Lynette at first is extremely indig nant that the king send on her quest, as she thinks, a kitdhen-knave. Gaieth, however, pursues the quest, with results that shall be revealed in the play. ,vc think that all who come will enjoy it. —Mrs. William Ely (Marie Whe less), of Washington, D.
