Upon the altar bumed numerous waxon candles, while outside the altar rail on either side of the white satin cushion, where the oouple knelt were borders of candles. The decora tions were palms, asparagus ferns, vhlto chrysanthemums, white roses and Eng lish ivy. "The bride euterod the room with her sister, Miss Minute MoKio, and was met at the altar by the groom and his best man, Daniel Me K io. . "Immediately after the ceremony Dr, and Mrs. Mason left for Charlotte, N.

"The tiny shafts of Cupid again have pierood two loving hearts," On Wednosday evening, Ootober 28th, 1003, tho residence of Major and Mrs. Stylos Plumer Dendy was the soene of a pretty home wedding, the contracting art ins being Miss Sue Morris Dendy and r.

The par lor was decorated with holly, while the bay window, in white, with ropes of magnolia loaves, was a lovely background for the handsome bridal party. At 0 o'clock the assembled guests were awarded for their patience Dy the en trance of the bridal party to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march, ex quisitely rendered by Mrs. E. D. Mont gomery, who played''Hearts and Flow ers" softly through the entire sendee. The maid of honor, Miss Margie Morris, of Atlanta, Ga., entered with John Dendy, brother of the bride, who acted as best man. They wore followed by the, bride, lean ing on the arm of the groom. As the bride and groom took their stand under a love-knot of geranium leaves, sus pended from the oeuter of the arch, they were met by the officiating minister. Rev. Robert Lee Rogers, who, in the simple, but impressive, ceromony of the Presbyterian church, pronounced them man and wife. The bride was a vision of loveliness in her bridal robes of white satin with trimmings of tiny pearls. She wore a handsome gold locket, the gift of the groom. She carried a shower bouquet of bride's roses. A long veil of tulle, caught up with a spray of orange blos soms, completed this toilette, beautiful in its simplicity and graoe. Tho maid of honor woro an exquisite dress of pink silk, which gave the only touch of color to the scone. Her flowers wore pink roses, tied with pink satin ribbon. The gentlemen wore the con ventional full evening suits. As Mr. Rogers pronounced the Anal words, which united the fair young bride to the husband of her choice, the maid of honor stepped forward and gracefully threw back the veil. After extending congratulations and host wishes to the happy oouple the guests were invited into the dining room where a sumptuous and delightful supper was sorved. Here the oolor scheme of groon and white was carried out, the bride's table being covered with white organdie, on which trailed a dainty fern liko vine. Tho table for the guests was beautiful with cut glass, flowers and silver, while the many candles in the candelabra shod a soft and mollow light over tho room. Tho presents were handsome, useful and numerous and testified to the popu larity of the young couple. Mrs. Gentry is the youngest daughter of Major and Mrs. S. P.
