The ceremony was performed at the lovely home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Orme, on North avene. The house with its dainty and well-arranged rooms was a charming one for the beautiful decorations lavished upon it. The wide hallway and drawing room were thrown into one by means of folding doors, and in the latter the ceremony was performed by Bishop Quintard with eloquent solemnity. The bishop stood in front of the mantel which was draped with smilax, looped into collonial garlands and adorned with two exquisite baskets tied with pink ribbons and filled with superb pink chrysanthemums. These same superb stately flowers filled a tall vase in the left corner of the room. The lectern, before which the happy pair stood to plight their troth was also draped with white silk and smilax, and the entire room carried out in its chaste and graceful adornment the idea of white and green mingled with a touch o' delicate rose. The bride entered with her maid of honor, Miss Julia Orme, and the groom came with his best man, Mr. Gustaus C. Hopkins, of New York. Miss Janie Orme has that stately statuesque beauty of form and feature which finds its noblest expression in the elegant simplicity of whie wedding robes, and her gown was a marvel of beauty in style and quality. The material was heavy white silk simply made and furnished about the low cut neck with a deep bertha of round point. The veil was fastened by a spray of orange blossoms and in her hand she carried her prayer book, whose silk covering matched her gown and whose gold clasps were richly wrought. Miss Julia Orme was picturesquely fair in an elegant gown of white silk trimmed with chiffon. The flowers were nephitus roses. After the ceremony an elegant bridal supper was served. One room decorated entirely in white and green was devoted to the bride and groom and their especial friends. The bride's table was a vision of dainty good taste and loveliness. The center decoration was formed of magnificent white chrysanthemums with golden hearts and curling, plume-like leaves. Many silver candelabras with white tapers and handsome cakes formed the other principal adornments. The bride's cake was beautifully adorned in a design of orange blossoms. Wild smilax was looped upon the walls and the mantel was hidden by maidenhair ferms and white chrysanthemums. The supper room opposite this was equally attractive in its way. The decorations here were brilliant in the autumnal tints of red and gold and the walls were adorned with smilax. A delicious and elaborate menu was beautifully served. The entire affair in the fine flowers chosen for decoration, the spotlessness of fine linen and in fact every dainty detail bespoke that true refinement of taste which always insists upon the best. A lovely little room on the left was used for the presents, which were many and most elegant. At 11 o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Harrington bade adieu to their friends and departed for their wedding journey north. Miss Orme is well known in Atlanta, where she has many friends and relatives. She is the daughter of the late Mr. W. P. Orme, and her mother was a Miss Thompson, two names well known here and associated with good breeding, intellect and wealth. She is a splendid type of fine womanly womanhood and just the kind of refined, delightful woman to make an ideal home life for the man she has chosen. Personally, she is extremely handsome and she is thoroughly cultivated and well read. Mr. William Henry Harrington is an elegant southern gentleman and a most successful one in the world of finance, being among the wealthiest and most prominent cotton men in the state. He belongs to a splendid southern family and is popular in the city. He will take his bride to Newnan, where they will occupy the handsome mansion formerly inhabited by Judge Bigby and family.
