A ))retty home wedding was solemnized in
\Vindsor when Miss Ruby Fuller White,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Wliite, be
came the bride of Mr. Dennis Ricliard Ar
nold, of Raleigh.
The marriage took ])laee at tlie hoiiu> of
the bride’s parents. It was solemni/.ed in the
parlor which was softly lighted by candlcs
and was doeorated with tlowers and ferns.
'I'he ceremony was ])crformod by Rev. \V. R.
Haight, pastor of the Baptist cluirch, of ‘Wen
dell, who used the ring ceremony.
Before the ceremony Mrs. Stanley Leary
sang “I Love You Truly.” Tlierc wore no
attendants and the bride and bride-groom
entered together to tho sti-ains of Mendel
sohn’s Wedding March, played by Miss Inez
Matthews.
The bride wore a becoming suit of brown
t.rieotiue with hat to match, and a corsage
of bride’s roses. She is the daughtei- of Mr.
and Ml’S. J. H. White, of Wendell. She is
a graduate of Meredith College and taught

The bride-groom is a young business man
of Raleigh.
Lnmediately after the ceremony Mr. and
Mrs. Arnold loft for Raleigh where lliev
will make their home.
This year there has been a sliglit difference
in tlie method of the division of societies, Ac
cording to our usual custom, tho societies gave
receptions on tho first and second times of
their meeting. The now girls were divided
evenly, ])art going to one and the remaining
to the other. Then they were allowed a
week to think Ihe matter over and make their
choice. 'I'his year only one night was sel
ected—'L'hursday evening of our secoiid week
here—and the girls were invited to both
societies. '‘Hoating” from one 1o the other
The next morning at chapel Miss Campbell
took a great weight from our shoulders by
deciding to have the new girls make their
choice then and there, the old girls leaving
the auditorium. The result was fairly fav-

orable all-round, both .societies getting an
even number of girls, Of course it could
have been belter for either one or the other;
l)ut how would the one feel if the other got
one moreV Tluis we say the result was
fairly favorable.
