COLEMAN-SMITH. The marriage of Miss Eugenia Coleman, and Mr. Daniel Townsend Smith, Jr., was solemnized last night, June 19th, 1917, at nine o'clock, at the home of the brides parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. T. Coleman. The occasion was a delightful one, the friends of the young bride gathering around her and making her happy with their good wishes, their gaiety, and the many acts of loving kindness natural to the heart and mind of youth. The Coleman home which is especially adapted to entertaining, was lovely in its bridal decorations. The spacious alcove in the parlor where the ceremony was performed was especially beautiful in white and green. Ferns and palms were banked and daisies, the birth flower of the bride, lent their simple beauty to the scene. A delicate tracery of smilax outlined a wainscoting and ceiling border in the alcove while from the grill, which was twined in green sprays, hung a shower centerpiece decoration of tulle and lilies of the valley and an overhead portier of narrow white ribbon and tiny wed lllllg UC11S* TT IlltC TT4W4IA** the alcove, holding brass jardiniers of white carnations designated the place for the bridal couple. The reception hall was elaborately decorated in ferns and cut flowers, many bowls of brilliant nasturtiums giving a touch of gaiety to the room. Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Kerr, Dr. and Mrs. G. A. Neuffer, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. P. Greene and Mrs. Gertrude Sign welcomed the guests here. Just before the ceremony Miss Elizabeth Smith, lovingly known to her friends as "Bonnie Bet," sang "Like Unto a Star," and "I Love You Truly," accompanied by Miss Ruth Howie. The ever lovely march from Lohengrin played by Miss Howie announced the coming of the bridal party and entering first were the parents and near relatives of the bride and groom, Mrs. Coleman, James Coleman, Mrs. R. R. Hemphill, Prof, and Mrs. D. T. Smith,# Miss Ella May Smith and Pressly Smith, who grouped themselves on either side of the alcove. As the family party entered the ribbons separating i-Vin M/ionflnn hull anH nnrlnr wprp m\_ x vvv>^wivii IIM4* ^v?.v ??| unfastened by the brides best friends, Miss Lucy Syfan and Miss Susie Mabry, opening the way for the brides only attendant, Miss Lavinia Coleman, who in her slender stateliness was lovely in nile green crepe de chine, with pearl trimmings and a shower bouquet of bridesmaids roses. Little Susan Minshall, as ring bearer, came next scattering flowers in the pathway of the bride. She wore a pretty frock of accordian plaited pink silk with butterfly bows of maline at the back. The groom, wearing a full dress uniform of the United States army, entered from the library supported by his best man, Mr. James Cox. The bride was escorted by her father, Mr. Martin T. Coleman, and joined the groom at the altar where the solemn words which made them one for life, were pronounced by Rev. J. L. Daniel, pastor of the Methodist church. The bride wore a dress of white with spangled net underdress, and charmeuse panniers and chiffon and pearl trimming. Her veil was arranged tea veil style in front, flowing to the hem of her dress in the oacK. one carried a snower uuuquet of roses and lilies of the valley. Her dress was made ankle length and accentuated her petite form and youthful appearance. After the ceremony the young couple faced about and received the congratulations and good wishes of their friends. Only the most intimate friends of the family witnessed the ceremony after which a large and brilliant reception followed. For the reception the dining room was beautifully decorated in pink carnations, pink roses and ferns. The table was lovely with its centerpiece of cluny lace, comports of mints and an electrolier festooned with pink maline and showered with rose buds. Cream and cake were served and boutonniers of sweet peas were given each guest. Receiving in the dining room were Mrs. Rachel Minshall, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Hill, and Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Tnnoc .Qonri n cr fVio friiectc WPTP. Misses Florence Neuffer, Mary H. Greene, Victoria Howie and Dorothy Syfan. In the library a handsome collection of presents were displayed showing the popularity of the young couple. Mr. and Mrs. J. L. McMillan, and Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Rogers made the gests welcome here. One of the interesting presents displayed was an old fashioned quilt which bore this card: Cloth spun, woven and quilted by | Ann Washington Smith of Erie, Pa., j J and given 'as an heirloom to her g niece, Hannah Smith Lind Hemphill, m who gave it to her grand-daughter, g Hannah Lind Hemphill Coleman, M who now presents it to her daughter, M Eugenia Coleman Smith. Concluding this happy occasion p was the pretty custom of cutting the j| brides cake, which was participated j| in by the young people present and J the members of the Butler Guards, ?| who came over from Laurens for ?| this happy affair. Finally "Bonnie Bet" sang sweet- M ly, touchingly and appropriately, M "A Perfect Day." Miss Eugenia Coleman is the sec- ?g ond daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. T. g Coleman and is one of the most jf popular of the younger society set. |j nr?
