Mrs. Laura Allen's home on
Wst Depot si reetrwas the center
of joy unconfined on Tuesday !
night. It was the occasion of
the wedding reception she gave
to her daughter, Miss Nettie Al-.
xlen and Mr. Hansel Thomas, the
bride and groom elect, and.their j
attendants at which Bishop and
Mrs. Edward Ronthaeler. and
Mrs. T J Wilson, of Winston
Salem, and Mr. ( and Mrs. H M
Saunders, of Sumter, S. C, and
Mr. D E Allen and Mrs. Luke
Sewell, of Charlotte, were the
guests of honor.
" The groom's attendants onl
arrived at one o'clock, owing to
delay, so that the feast began at
that hour and lasted till after
two o'clock when the happy cir
cle dispersed in the wee small
hours.
The dining room was a scene
of charming order.
Ovr the table was an inverted
cone of parper chrysauthiuiums.
From the center and pending
point, extended four ribbons
trimmed with asparagus ferns
reaching near to the four corners
of the table ending with a spread
ins loop. Three beautiful can
delabra trimmed with chrysan
themums added to its picturesque
benuty.
The 6ideboard was a bank of
evergreens interspersed with
handsome silver candle sticks
from which glowed the mellow
light. The colors were white
and green.
At each plate was a booklet
called 'the flower of fortune, with
the following verse:
"Since olden times
The daisy flower .
Haa ben endowed
With magio powr.
So choose a leaf
And yon will see
Whit fortune has
In store for thee."
The several pages of the book
contain an imitation daisy over
which is written these several
topics:
"Your Ambition in Life, Your
Characteristics, .When You Will
Marry, Where You .Will Spend
Your Days, The Result of Your
Ambition, Your Chief Virtue,
Your Worst Fault."
To these under each daisy leaf
1s an answer to each query and
the apt and the quaint replies
afforded much amusement.
