William Jones Gordon, which was solemnized in Trinity Church, Scotland Neck, on Wed nesday, November sth. at 1 o'clock. Long before the ap pointed hour, the edifice was filled with friends of the young couple. Not the usual crowd by curiosity, but close friends of the bride and Church people, among whom and with y/hom the bride has lived and worked, and whose hearts were full of love and good wishes for her and tender regrets that Scot land Neck would lose her pres ence, and none to have the place she filled. Some of these friends had placed ferns in the chancel and flowers of purest white on the altar, making simple but lovely the decorations in the sacred in terior. Bunches of white crysan themums were used to mark the pews reserved for the most inti mates friends and the families of the contracting parties. Miss Nannie Shields presided at the organ, and as the lovely words of "The Spirit that Brea thed O'er Eden" were heard, the Junior Choir, in vestments of pur est white, entered as the Rt. Rev. Joseph Blount Cheshire, Bishop of North Carolina and Rev. Black welder came from the vestry room, followed by the ushers, Messrs. Frank F. Fagan, A. D. Mizell, Charles Smith and John Powell; then came the bridlal party: Miss Nannie Smith »nd Miss Elisabeth Gordon, sister of the groom, wearing lovely dresses of white crepe de chine and black picture hats and carrying white crysanthemums entered, follow ed by the groomsmen, Henry T. Clark, brother of the bride, and W. L. Smith, Jr., of Wilmington The maid of honor, Miss Laura Clark, sister of the bride, came next wearing a handsome dress of white satin crepe and black picture hat and carrying white crysanthemums. She was follow ed by the dame of honor, Mrs. Thurman L. Kitchen, sister of the bride, wearing an exquisite gown of yellow crepe de chine over yellow messaline, with black picture hat with yellow plumes, and carrying yellow crysanthem ums. Then came the Master Thurman Kitchin hand some in Faountleroysuitof black velvet with black satin sash. He was followed by the bride lean ing on the arm of her father, r>r. Henry Irwin Clark, and never did she look lovelier than on this her wedding day, gowned in a handsome dress of white bridal satin trimmed in Duchess lace and embroidered in pearls, sim ple, but elegant in its simplicity, her long tulle veil being fastened in bonnet effect and she carried a shower bouquet of bride's roses and lilies of' the valley. They were met at the chancel by the groom with his best man, Rev, B. F. Huske, of New Bern, and Franklin Smith, groomsman, of Wilmington. Here the betrothal service was said by Rev. Mr. Blackwelder, and at the altar Bishop Cheshire gave the vows which made them man and wife. The bridal party left the church while the choir sang "O Perfect Love" and were driven to the home of the bride, where a pub lic buffet luncheon was served, quite ajnumber of friends calling to bid the bride and groom fare well. The bride's travelling suit was brown cloth with hat, gloves, shoes and furs to match. Her hat was made of her mother's vin Advance wedding coat of brown velvet brocade. The entire wedding party went in automobiles td Rd myra, where Mr. and Mrs. Gor don took the cars for NorfoMc from whence they left by boa& for a wedding trip. On their re turn they will be at home in where Mr. Gordon has charge off one of the largest and most sue*- cessfnl Missions of the Episcopal chnrch in the State. The bride is held in love ani esteem by a large circle of friends being a woman of the highest type of Christian character, a leader in all Church work, and it is with regret that Scotland Neck and Trinity Church give her ap. Never has there been seen a handsomer collection of wedding gifts, among" them being a silver waiter from the Junior Choir, a silver candlestick from the S«». ior Choir, a handsome picture from the Orphanage Guild and a box of linen from the Woman's Auxiliary.
