Mrs. Houston is a very highly cultured lady who is the genial companion of Mr. Houston and has helped him add many to his host of friends. Their linen wedding was celebrated in a most attractive and fitting manner. The Invitations were sent out sev eral days ago, and consisted simply of a small envelope in which was en closed a card neatly covered, upon wnicn was printed: "Mr. and Mrs. R. V.

Early in the afternoon of Dec. 17 Mr. and Mrs. .Houston began to re ceive linen presents and long before 11 o'clock many nice and valuable presents were received and placed in a large and beautifully decorated room where they could be seen by the guests. The guests were met in the hall by Capt W. A. Lane and Miss Margaret Reld Houston. At the door of the par lor they were greeted by Dr. J. C. Rowe and Rev. Geo. H.

Just over this hung the chandelier, near whlchwas a white um brella of white linen cloth, stretched tightly open. From underneath this hung large and beautiful flowers made of pink and white linen. The table was neatly and beautifully dressed. Supper was served by Mrs. A. Neal csampie.ana Mrs. w. A. Lane.
