STEPHENS-IRBY NUPTIALS.
Beautiful Church Wedding of
Doctor George K. Stephens
and Miss Louise Irby at
Methodist Church.
Popular June has brought New
| port another pretty church wed
I ding of which to tell and like
those of preceding years has
made the last most beautiful.
The Methodist church remodeled
in better arranged interior had
been transformed into a Southern
flower garden by its wealth of
magnolias and greenery.
The piano was fairly hidden
beyond the background of
potted plants, palms and ferns,
,,against which arose vine
/ clad pillars encircling the chan
cel, studded with white mag
nolias and gathered into an har
monious scheme by streamers
converging at the large central
window to the rear of the pulpit.
Over the aisles vines and tnagno
lias arched the pathway of the
bridal party, and beneath the
gallery vine work screened the
rear of the church, closing in the
happy trysting place.
Promptly at the appointed
hour to the step of Mendelssohn’s
■ march, played by Mrs. E. B.
Wilmans, accompanied by Miss
Mae Whittaker on the violin, the
groomsmen, Messrs. C. E. Car
• roll, F. P. Skipwith, John W. i
Stay ton, Joe Bevens and Maury ]
Stephgps, and the bridesmaids,
Misses Kathryn Price, Lula :
Wolff, Mary Laird, Janie Ste- ]
> phens and Mabel Stayton, in the '
order named, entered the church <
by the entrances to the south i
and north of the altar respective- 1
ly, and choosing the wall aisles
tt> the rear, advanced to their ]
positions by the two center aisles. <
The maid of honor, Miss Jamie i
Irby, followed by her sister, the <
fair bride, Miss Louise Maria :
Irby, entered via the left center 1
aisle and were met at the altar i
by the groom, Doctor George <
Kellogg Stephens, and his best
man, his brother, Mr. Curry
Stephens, who had advanced
from the right entrance.
The ring service was used, the
rite being performed by Rev. C.
C. Godden, president of Gallowap
college, Searcy, after which the
exit of the party was made via
the two center aisles in couples,
Tanhauser’s march being used
for the recessional.
The bride is an accomplished
member of Newport society,
whose type of beauty is much
admired, and as a bride she was
indeed the “fair” one. Her
graces of character are as well
known as her beauty and her
friends are legion. The groom
is a promising young physician
and Jackson county boy whose
friends join with the bride’s
in this happy hour in extending
congratulations and good wishes.
May their affection for each
ither make ever content the lot
if the other, and in the serenity
if such love may the choicest
ilessings of life add their quota
if happiness.
RECEPTION AT HAZEL.
Following the wedding an ele
gant reception was tendered the
lewly wed by Mr. and Mrs. E.
3. Wilmans, cousins of the bride,
at the Hazel Hotel, in festive
attire for this elaborate post
auptial affair, the decorations
leing sweet peas, roses and
lotted plants.
Dr. and Mrs. Stephens received
n the parlors, where friends ex
iressed the good wishes of the
lour. The dining hall was in
excellent condition, and dancing ,
soon enlisted the attention of .
;hose present. ,
During the evening refresh
nents of ice cream, sherbet,
;ake and peppermints were
served. The cutting of the wed- ,
ling cake provoked the usual
!un; to win the ring or dime was (
vorth risking the fate of draw- ,
ng the darning needle. Dr.
Charles E. Carroll we announce
as the next benedict, having
fallen heir to the ring, Miss
Mabel Stayton landing the dime,
while to Mr. Curry Stephens fell
the needle, which would indi
cate that the good example of
his brother is to be lost upon
him.

tion of loveliness in a handsome
pointe d’ esprit creation, with
