The ceremony was performed by the Rev. C. W. Howard. The bride, who was given away by her father, looked charming in a dress of crepe-de-chine and chiffon trimmed with fur, with the usual veil and orange blossoms. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Minnie Hignett, who wore a khaki costume, with a brown satin hat lined with rose pink. A full choral service was rendered by Miss Hignett’s choir mates.
