THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2ff. Society Marriage of Miss Wright and Mr. James Frazer Hillman It has been years since there has been celebrated in Augusta a wedding as beautiful, »and never one more beau tiful, than was that of Miss Margue rite Cabell Wright and Mr. James Frazer Hillman, of Pittsburg, Pa., which took place at nine o’clock last evening at the Church of the Good Shepherd followed by a reception at Coniston, the Boykin Wright home on the Hill. The most exquisite taste, and the most artistic, characterized every minutest detail, and the result was one of flawless beauty. The quaint little church was carpet ed in white and wreathed in garlands of wild smilax which festooned the window and door arches, the organ and choir rail, gleaming in its verdant beauty against the dark groined roof. Palms effectively placed, and white pedestals on which were placed high vases filled with giant white chry santhemums, converted the chancel into a bower of beauty which was agleam with th: lights from the high chandelabra which formed apexes of light on either side of the altar. The altar vases were filled with snowy white chrysanthemums and the altar candles shed a subdued light over the beautiful scene. Broad white satin ribbons, caught, with showers of or ange blossoms, were used as markers. Mrs. J. Hardwick Jackson presided at the organ and rendered a beautiful program, assisted by Senor Andonegui, during the arrival of the guests, giv ing various selections from “Thais," “Madame Butterfly” and others, the last quivering note changing into wedding march as the bridal party entered. First came the ushers, Mr. William E. Bush with Mr. Coles Phinizv, Mr. Thomas Barrett with Mr. Tate Wright, Mr. Henry Gar'tett with Mr. Pausing Pee. These advanced to the chancel where they were joined by the maids and groomsmen who entered in pairs alternating the maids and the men. Miss Martha Phinizy, of Athens, with Miss Mary Pou Phinizy, Mr. James Fines sey, of Pittsburg, with Mr. Irvine Branch, Miss Marguerite Gamble, of Jacksonville, with Miss Mary Walker. Mr. John Buckie, of Chester, Pa., with Mr. Pendleton King, Miss Moselle Neely with Miss Carolyn Cumming, and Mr. B. H. Charbonnier with Mr. Boykin Wright, Jr. Miss Constance Wright, the maid of honor, entered alone directly preceding the bride who entered with her father. The groom with his best man, Mr. Ernest Hillman, of Pittsburg, having entered from the vestry, met the bride at the chancel The ceremony was performed by Rev. William Johnson in his own impres sive style. The bridesmaids all wore beautiful gowns of pink charmeuse with over dresses of pink tulle with silver lace trimmings, silver slippers, and carried bridesmaids baskets of silver lace filled with superb Killarney roses which tumbled to the hem of the gowns. Miss Constance Wright was very lovely in a dainty little gown of pink silk tulle fashioned with a double tunic scalloped and bound with pinl; satin and looked like nothing so much as a lovely half blown pink rose. The bodice was garlanded with tiny pink roses strung on silver cords. Fin ishing this lovely costume was a show er bouquet of Killarney roses and val ley lilies caught with pink tulle. The bride wore a magnificent gown of lustrous shimmering charmeuse, the tong tunic of which fell over a drop skirt of rare and delicate lace over frothy plaitings of pearl edged chiffon. The low cut bodice of lace and char meuse was filled in about the should ers with silk tulle edged with pearls, and the tiny short sleeves were also edged with pearls. A deep crushed girdle of charmeuse was finished with a garland of orange blossoms from which depended ropes of pearls, and the long, narrow, square train w'.iich was caught to the bodice with pearls that fell in ropes of opalescent beauty to the knees, was also finished with a garland of orange blossoms in one cor ner. The entire lovely figure was en veloped in a mist of tulle worn over the face, actenuating its exquisite llower like beauty, and caught to the hair with a cornet of orange blossoms. Her flowers were white orchids and valley lilies, and her only jewels, a superb Pa Valliere of diamonds, the gift of the groom. Immediately after the ceremony the bridal party and several hundred guests were entertained by Mr. and Mr*. Wright, and it would be Impossi ble to imagine anything so exquisite ly lovely as was Coniston in its bridal array. The entire house was thrown open and adorned with a profusion of giant white chrysanthemums and stately palms, save in the dining room which was in pink. The guests were received in the drawing room where Mr and Mrs. Hillman and the bridal party formed a lovely picture which had for a background towering tropi cal paims that reached almost to the celling The large white mantels were festooned with hot-house smilax and adorned with white chrysanthemums. The lights all glowed from beneath pink tulip blossoms and In the hall there were many unshaded candles placed about freize rail. Punch was served in the library from a table wreathed in hot-house smilax, and in the palm room Andonegui s orchestra was stationed among the palms. But it waa in the dining room that the height of artistic beauty was ob tained. The spacious room, beauti ful without further adornment, was simply exquialte in its bridal setting. The walls are hung with rose tones, the curtain* ro»e colored and the rugs a soft rose tone that catches the light and holds It In their rich rosy mesh. The large circular table at which the bridal party of twenty-six was seated, was covered with lace edged white satin over laid with an elegant lace centerpiece, and strapped with broad bands of pink satin ribbon. Down each .side were rows of silver candlesticks /adorned with pink bows, and holding unshaded pink candles. The elec trolier above was converted Into one mammoth pink rose formed of petals of pink tulle with a callx of hot-house smilax and suspended by sashes of 1 pink tulle which were caught to th* table in fluffy butterfly bows. In the centre was a beautiful pink basket adorned with pink tulle and filled with Killarney beauties. Silver baskets were filled with cake* and other con fections done In pink ros<|i and the china used In the •enrtee was all pink tinted. The place cards for the maids were almost replicas of themselves, lovely little maids in pink gowns, and those for the men. Cupids holding gold slippers. The place for the bride and groom was marked with bride and groom cards. At each guest’s place was a pink candy basket adorned with pink ribbon, and filled with bonbons, a dainty little ribbon strapped box of wedding cake adorned with a spray of orange blossoms and a pink rose favor which held the almonds, dainty con ceits which rose on their own grace ful stems and framed the entire table in a glowing wreath of beauty. The entire room with its exquisite picture was framed in by a row of glittering unshaded candles in crystal candle sticks which were placed on the high plate rail. A delicious supper was served, other guests being served a la buffet. Three large rooms on the upper floor were given over to the display of the wedding gifts which were the hand somest and most numerous ever seen in Augusta and which embraced every conceivable thing in silver, cut glass, pictures und art. The gift from the bride’s parents was a magnificent sil ver service and that from the groom’s mother, a chest of flat silver. The groom’s fraternity at Yale presented him with their regulation loving cup. The bride’s gifts to her maids were lovely little Pa Valliercs of pink topaz, and the groom’s souvenirs for his men, were small gold fountain pens. The bridal party were presented with dainty little imported rice paper bags filled with rose leaves, and long stem med paper roses filled with rice with which the bride and groom were show ered as they left the house. At a late hour the bride changed her gown for a traveling suit of mid night blue drap de velour, made with a flared skirt and a coat finished with skunk fur. With this was worn a blouse of white chiffon veiled in blue fillet lace and finished with a touch of American beauty, and a smart little blue velvet vest. Her hat was a graceful picture effect in amethyst velvet with a French plume of mid night blue. Mr. and Mrs. Hillman left on the midnight train for New York where they will spend some time and then go to White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., for a stay before returning to Pittsburg where they will make their home and w here they will keep house Just a little later* The removal from Augusta of Mrs. Hillman is a matter of very , genuine regret to all who know her and a source of sincerest sorrow to her im mediate circle of friends. Mrs. Hill man’s mother is recalled the beautiful Constance Cabell, of Virginia, and she inherits much of the charm of her mother with which is blended the in tellect of her father, who is recognized as one of the most brilliant men in Georgia. Mrs. Hillman is not only a very beautiful young woman, but is also one of the most genuinely charm ing and lovable ones imaginable, with the tact and savoir falre that should be the heritage of all Southern women Nature was in one of her most beneficient moods when Mrs. Hillman was created and truly the fairies must have been in attendance at her chirst ening. But lovely in al! her physical perfections as she undoubtedly Is, Mrs. Hillman is chiefly distinguished for something more potent and lasting than beauty, that gift of all gifts to be desired by women, the gift of charm. As a little girl she was quite as popu lar with the girls as with the boys, her irresistible fascinating making of her a belle in embryo who was net envied by the other little girls simply because she was so sweet to them that they, too, felt the witchery of her charm too much to resent the superior position it gave her. Since her debut she has been quite as popular with the women as with the men, her unfailing tact, her ready appreciation of the in terests and sympathies- of others win ning for her by the score friends who would have been some less gracious woman's admirers. From the begin ning of her social career, which has had a much wider scope than Augusta, or even the South, she has swept all before her, delighted admiration fol lowing everywhere in her train and love has been showered upon her as are air and sunshine on the world at large. Mr. Hillman although a Pitts burger, is of Southern bifth. his father having served with distinction in the Civil War,. He is prominently identi fied with one of the largest coal and steel industries of Pennsylvania, and Is a man whose future is already as sured, Mr. Hillman has on his several visits to Augusta made many friends who are devoted to him and who ex tend to him and his lovely bride every good wish imaginable. Mrs. Wright was verf lovely last evening in a gown of lavendar satin brocaded in silver, trimmed in exqui site silver lace, and finished with a touch of black tulle. The low cut bodice had draperies of silver lace and was strapped with strands of bril liants and cut jet. The train which came from the shoulders was caught with a butterfly of brilliants and cut jet. Dith this was worn a corsage bouquet of orchids and double violets. Mrs. James Hillman, of Pittsburg, mother of the groom, wore an elegant gown of pearl gray velvet with point lace and amethysts, with a corsage bouquet of orchids. Mrs. Henry Tendon Cabell, of Vir ginia, wore a beautiful gown of black and gold brocade with a corsage bou quet of violets and valley lilies. Mr*. J. B. Chesnutt, of Savannah, wore a lovely gown of pale pink faille with draperies of Bimerick and tambour laces. Mrs. Remer Denmark, of Savannah, wore a stunning gown of sapphire blue velvet with tulle draperies embroid ered In brilliants and out jet. MISS BESSIE BRIDWELL ENTERTAINS.

Of course you are thankful that our country is not embroiled in the horrible muatrter-revel which now curses our brethren across the ocean; and you are thankful that there is “oil in the cruse” and “meal in the barrel*: and you are thankful that -wife and babes are in good health; rwid you are thankful back Is clothed and stom ach is filled; and yom are thank ful that the pittance in bank laid against the “rainy day"’ is not im poverished. But all of these causes for thankfulness are selfish, and savor of the “prayer in the temple” when two men went tip to pday; —one thought only of self, and gave expression to his thankful ness in being glad that he was not as other men in their sins and Bufferings. The other felt con trition and abasement. What should we he thankful for? O, lots of things! We should be thankful that our pars are attuned to the cry of distress, and that we can reach out a hand to help. We should be thankful if our feet are every ready to run on errands of mercy, and that we have the strength to go. We should be thankful that our hearts are not crystallized into selfishness, or rimed with stone. We should he thankful that we live in an age of civilization, and that we have opportunities for leading the blind, and lifting the lame. We should be thankful that we can enjoy the music of birds, the beauty and perfume of flowers, the glory of a sunrise and the ma jesty of the stars. But with all our thanks, lets be careful that we arc not thank ful for enjoyments which aro had at the expense of discomfiture of someone else; and lets be most thankful that our hearts are broad enough in sympathy, deep enough in love, to hush not only the wail of anguish at home, but can go out with genuine and sincere compas sion to the call from other lands; and he able to spare “just one more coin” than we figured on, be cause of the extra demand on our generosity. O, thank God that we can sac rifice and serve, and thereby get the fullest measure out of life. “In as much as ye have done It unto the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” —The friends of Mrs. W. N. Ben ton will regret to hear of the death of her father, Mr. Robert H. Brown, which occurred in Macon Tuesday night. —Miss May Glaire Rice is visiting Mrs. D. J. Hogan in Sava,nnah.
