William Hurt and Geneva Shupp.
The rooms were tastily decorated in

delicate colors of the daisies and!
roses. A big heart of pink and'
white roses in hank of green dotted
with daisies, made the back ground

very attractive bride.
The taste fulness of the entire
group and the impresaiveneaa of the

service which closed with the solo.

of their co-operation and assistane
