A brilliant iratherinjr of friends anil relatives filled the First Presbyterian church Wednesday to witness the marriaire of Miss F.na Mniim" c? ^ - ? 4.Avi/un tu opciiier Rice Perrin. Unusual interest had long been manifested in the happyevent, because of the prominence of the family connections of the bride and groom and the personality of both. The chancel was handsomely decorated with palms and ferns and garlands of ivy; clusters of white candles lighted the church, enhancing the effect of the decorations and forming a background of unrivalled beauty for the picturesque wedding scene. The seats for the family and out-of-town guests were marked by bows of pink tulle and the handsome evening dress of these guests presented a brilliant spectacle. Miss Vivian Sarratt presided at the organ and gave a lovely program preceding the entrance of the bridal party and during the ceremony which included "To a Wild Rose," overture from "Poet and Peasant," Barcarole from "Tales of Hoffman," Melody in F and 'Traumerie." Mrs. Richard A. Jones, who possesses a voice of rare sweetness, sang "Until the End" and during the ceremony softly sang "Schubert's Serenade." Promptly at the appointed hour the ever-inspiring motes of Lohengrin's wedding march heralded the approach of the bridal party. The ushers came two and two down either aisle, as folun? n..ji T??i- ' - " ? ?wno, i/uuicj ueaiy ana j. s. Morgan apd Jones Browne and A. G. Kennedy. - .

The maids were modishly gowned in white lace frocks and fashioned in the coiffure of each one was a hand of brilliants. They carried bouquets of pink rosebuds tied with pink tulle and looked their very prettiest. Miss Irene McDow, a sister of the bride, appeared as the first bridesaid and was exceptionally handsome in a dress of pink crepe combined with lace and carried an armful of white chrysanthemums and ferns. Just preceding the bride were the dainty little flower girls, Elizabeth Matheson and Frances McDow, scattering rose petals from La Tosca baskets. The bride entered with he? brother, L. B. Jeter, Jr., who gave her in marriage and at the same time the groom entered from the vestry with his best man, Carlisle Perrin, and joined her at the chancel steps and here, surrounded by the ones who love them best, they plighted their troth, the service being read by the pastor. Rev. John F. Matheson. The bride was indeed a queenly figure in her robes of soft crepe meteor, the long folds falling gracefully about the feet, while the draped bodice showed an artist's touch. The corsage was entirely of point lace, embroidered in silver threads and a tracery of pearls. The tulle veil being caught from the face with a coronet of orange blossoms. Her flowers were white rosebuds and ferns, tied with long chiffon ends. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard W. McDow and is counted one of Union's most popular and best beloved young women. She is vivacious and has a charming manner, and numbers her friends by the hundreds. Mr. Perrin received his degree at Clemson college and since that time has been connected with the UnionBuffalo mills. His fine ability and sterling character are much est.* >mod in this community where he has lived his whole life and the most cordial felicitations were extended to him and his bride. They left on the evening train for a honeymoon sojourn at Palm Beach, and other interesting points in Florida, after which they will be at home on xt - o n_n mu. o taiiiuun avenue. The bride's going-awav costume was blue broadcloth trimmed in fur and worn with a chic hat to match. The array of wedding gifts in a measure expressed the love and admiration of their many friends. Following the ceremony a reception was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. McDow, and the color scheme of white and green was carried out in detail. The bride's register was presided over by Miss Nelle Mattison and the bride's bouquet was caught by Miss Kathleen James, who, if the omen holds good, will be the next bride. A boy on mischief bent may go straight to the bad.
