France confers' her distinctive budge m the weil known form of the Legion of Honor. Austria confers her Ancient Order of Marie Therese. Germany's equivalent of the Victo ria Cross is the Iron Cross, which, it is said, the Kaiser has already given to 38,000 of his soldiers in the present war. Russia distributes her Cross of St. Vladimir sparingly to her successful soldiers.. Denmark has one of the most illus trious orders of chivalry, the Order of the Elephant which ranks even with that of our Order of the Garter. Spain is truly proud of her. Order of the Golden Fleece, which is. and has been, most sparingly conferred. Italy never, fails to decorate her soldiers., with her military medal of merit. From Tit-Bits. IN BEAUTIFUL CEREMONY MISS EDITH. OVERCARSH AND MR. J. H. THOMSON COVENANT ' IN MARRIAGE. A wedding in which centered the affectionate interest of hundreds of friends, and which was attended with rare beauty of setting and social charm was that in which Miss Edith Deborah Overcarsh and Mr. James Henry Thomson plighted troth and took the covenant vows of marriage last evening, the ceremony taking place at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bryan J. Over carsh, West Eighth street, Rev. Dr. E. K. McLarty of Tryon Street Metho dist church officiating. Southern smilax in greatest pro fusion, white candles, and white chry santhemums formed the foundation for a most exquisite effect wrought by the skilled hands of the bride's father, a decorator of note. Chan deliers and mantles were covered with smilax. Light was furnished by white wax candles, as many as 500 being used throughout the wedding suite. The candles, in rows, were set midst the smilax on the mantles in the parlor, living room and dining room, made a continuous row of light around the latter room being set on the plate rail which was banked with smilax. The effect was so charming that one involuntarily said, "How beautiful." , The immediate bridal . setting was beautiful and . elaborate, having been planned and executed by Mr. Over carsh. Against the east wall was erected a white canopy resting on two large white columns, and extend ing over four feet out. A lattice work of white rods tipped with silver balls, with gates, was . arranged under the canopy, the gates opening toward the bridal aisle. The lattice and gates were hung with dainty trailers of vines and flowers. The minister stood under the canopy, within the gates, immediately behind a white satin prieu-dieu on which the young couple knelt for the .benediction. To either side of the canopy altar were cathe dral candles in brass candleabra. On this feast of artistic skill and beauty of decorative effect the wed ding guests feasted their eyes until the first notes of Lohengrin announced the bridal hour 8:30. Mr. W. Harvey Overcarsh, kinsman of the bride, was at the piano. As the inspiring notes were heard, the bri dal aisle was formed, white satin ribbon being run from the dining room 'through the. living room and across the. hall to the parlor ending at the floral gates under the wedding canopy, the ribbons being carried by j Miss Edith Creasy ot Wilmington, and Miss Sarah Love, both dainty and pretty in white batiste and Jace and pink ribbons. Following them was Miss Matilda ' Overcarsh, twin sister of the- bride and maid of honor, who passing through, the bridal aisle and pausing for a moment in front' ot the bridal gates opened them for the coming of tne briae and groom. She wore an exquisite gown of pink ac cordian plaited silk with- bodice and short tunic of Princess lace. In her hair, beautifully arranged, was a par adise aigrette. A pearl necklace was around her neck and on her' arm was an immense bunch of pink Kil-. larneys. After opening the bridal gates, she passed to the left, standing immediately outside of the lattice. The ring bearer, little Miss Bonnie Creasy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. H Creasy, of Wilmington, came 'in next. Pretty and dainty, she wore white batiste and lace with pink ribbon, and carried the ring on a silver plate. She passed inside the gates standing to the right of the minister. , The bride entered with her lather, the latter in full evening dress with boutonniere ' of lilies of the valley, they passing through the ribbons to the floral gates where the groom with his best man, his brother, Mr. -u. h Thomson, of Atlanta, was in waiting. The bride , was attired in a modish traveling suit- of midnight blue cloth, with pink chiffon " waist and Medici collar of real thread lace. Her hat was of black velvet with fur and goura trimming. Her flowers a cor sage bouquet were Bride's roses and lilies of the valley. . The wedding tableau was perfect a more beautiful one seldom being seen. During the very pretty ceremony of the Methodist church, impressively read by Dr. McLarty, Mr. Overcarsh rendered the "Swan Song," very soft ly.

W ,3 f KS fi-i i for the minister's blessing there was a hush, which was to be followed in a minute by a burst of music, merri ment and felicitations the very hap piest. A beautiful reception followed, which was attended by about 200 guests. The wedding table showed a color scheme of white and pink, the latter in tulle, which extended from the chandelier to the corners of the table, falling in graceful ' loops to the floor, with dainty tracings of maid en hair ferns here and there on the tulle. In the center of the table was a pink basket of white Killarney roses, and to either side a cut glass comport, holding mints, and tied with pink tulle. The . chandelier was a mass of pink tulle and smilax. And encircl ing the table, as a ring, were candles on the plate rail, burning brilliantly, but softly. Ices and , cake were serv ed in the dining room and punch in a cozy corner under the stairway. Mr. and Mrs. Thomson left almost immediately after the ceremony for a trip to Washington and Baltimore. On their return they will reside at the Overcarsh home for the present. The bride is an unusually pretty, at tractive and charming girl, she and her twin sister, Miss Matilda Over carsh, being notably sweet, lovely girls. Both were educated at Queens College. The bride is, gifted in the art of ex pression and is bright, versatile and winsome. She is a granddaughter of the late Dr. W. S. Creasy, a distinguish ed minister of the Methodist church. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs E. S. Thomson, formerly of Durham, MAW. ft " 1 ' 1 1 "uw w uiwuBuuro, prominent m tne social life of both cities.
