Promptly at 8:30 p. m., the guests, including only relatives or contracting parties, were invited into the parlor, which was beautifully decorated for the occasion with palms, ferns, and white and yellow chrysanthemums. Miss Josephine E. Weaver, of Philadelphia, Pa., on piano, and Mr. Marshall Schmidt, of Troutville, Va., on violin, played the lovely wedding march and during the ceremony softly played Hearts and Flowers. Music never sounded sweeter.

Dr. George Braxton Taylor, of Hollins, Va., pastor of the brides' performed the beautiful ring ceremony. Little Helen Louise Bryant, nice of the Misses Boone, never looked sweeter, dressed in taffeta and net, carrying a white satin pillow, with rings imbedded on a white rose. Miss Virginia Boone, in African Brown, Miss Julia Boone in Copenhagen blue, and Miss Nora Paynter in midnight blue cloth suits, trimmed in handsome fur with pictures hats to match. Mrs. C. E. Argenbright, of Roanoke, matron of honor, in white crepe de chine and lace, Miss Janie Doss, of Roanoke, maid of honor, in white taffeta with tiny yellow rosebuds.
