The church decoration was a mys- 1 tery of art in pink and green and < a blaze of electric lights.

The walls , were covered with pink tapestry, with graceful green vines trailing' ^ over. The large vestry opening was f lined with pink chrysanthemums, j t green simlax and electric lights, I and the white columns crowned with * graceful ferns were the finishing touches to a gorgeous spectacle. r Before the appointed time the F four ushers, Messrs. Russell Thompson, C. L. Moody, Fitzhugh Bethea1t and A. L.
