The quaint simplicity that seems to
ever pervade its atmosphere, was not
entirely removed by these wild offer

chandeliers and formed one mass of
wealth to the rear of the chancel from
which came the gleams of candle
light The scene was truly enchant
ing and one might wonder were this
not a primitive church in which Na
ture had contributed all, bo natural
tand with such taste bad this bower
been*bedecked in elder blossom, fern
and other wild flowers, that migh
here dwell in harmony with the color
' scheme of white and green. Above
the chancel, bars of such drapery

WEDDING RECEPTION
Tendered Bride and Groom At Beauti
ful McHugh Home On Hazel
Street Proves An Elegant
Function Well Attended
By Newport Society.
—
Immediately after the performance
of the marriage rite, the wedding
party were driven to the palatial;
home of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. McHugh, !
where a reception followed in honor
of the newly wed. From one’s first j
entrance to this attractive home,
which had been decorated by an;
artist’s tasteful eye and woman’s j
dexterous hand with flowers and
greenery, carrying out the original
color scheme of the church decora
tions, the guest could hardly help but
stand bewildered and let the eye
l-evel upon the scene of beauty, ani
mated by feminine fairness in charm
ing toilets and handsome men in
evening dress.
The hall, parlor, library and re
ception room were fragrant with the
perfume of carnations used with fern
to advantage set. The receiving
party were Mesdames J. H. McHugh
and T. E. Morrison, Misses Roberta
and Nannie Morrison, who were
gracious and painstaking in their
evidences of hospitality.
Manuel’s string band rendered ex
cellent music and the punch bowl in
the hall, about which were artistically
arranged manifestations of the pre
dominating colors, was presided over
by Misses Beatrice McHugh and Hazel
Jones.
Entering the reception room to the
left of the hall, one was confronted
with a most handsome arrray of cost
ly and beautiful presents, too many
and too varied to mention, embracing
furniture, cut glass, silver and china
war 9.
In the bay window of the parlor,
the bride and groom received the con
gratulations and good wishes of in
vited friends, whose compliment and
good will were voiced in pretty
rhetoric and timely thought.
Yet none of these rooms had re

ceived that attention of the decora
tor’s hand accorded the dining room.
From the chandelier hung from the
center of the ceiling, silk net stream
ers wrapped about with maiden-hair
fern, reached to the corners of the
table, upon which rested candelabra,
over which were shades of honey
suckle vine that kept continually in
mind the beauty of the color scheme.
The table was enriched by a large and
handsome centerpieice of Battenburg
over Nile green. A huge boquet of
white roses and fern in cut glass bowl
rested upon a mirror in the center to
make the beauty of this table perfect.
Refreshments of brick cream in green
and white, cake and peppermints was
nicely served by colored waiters. The
bride and groom drank from a silver
goblet that has quite a history and is
an old family heirloom, having"been
presented to the bride’s grandfather
Robert I. Morrison as a wedding
present from seventy-five young
ladies.
Mrs. J. H. McHugh received in a
white organdie, trimmed in Valen
ciennes lace.
Mrs. T. E. Morrison was handsome
in a white organdie trimmed in thread
lace.
Mrs. Maud Marshall wore a beauti
ful white organdie, trimmed with
white satin ribbon and with roses in
her hair.

every detail and will always prove a
pleasant memory to guests and guests

their friends at Mr. and Mrs. W. R.
Thompson’s, where they are boarding
