Of Paramount Interest Santa X. Feb 2. 1M A eut of Friendly Net Mexican Gardena Art Miss Susan Harrison Is Wed To William Booker Kelly The marriage of Miss Susan Harrison and William Booker Kelly was solemnized at St. Francis Cathedral at 11 o'clock Saturday morning. Rev.

Schicker, O.F.M., Cathedral pastor, officiating. The bride is the daughter of the well-known New Mexico newspaper columnist and former editor of newspapers at Gallup, Grants and Santa Fe, Will Harrison, and Mrs. Harrison. The bridegroom is the son of Mr. and Mrs.

Daniel T. Kelly, the family having been identified with the growth and development of New Mexico since Territorial days. As scores of guests gathered at the Cathedral, a program of wedding music was played by Laurence Powell, organist, who also played the liturgical music of the church during the ceremony, and the wedding processional and recessional. Altar bouquets were of white roses, and the steps to the chancel were flanked by white snapdragons and gladioli in tall standing baskets. Family pews were marked by white ribbons and bows.

The bride, who was given in marriage by her father, wore a gown of white bouquet taffeta, fashioned with fitted bodice, long sleeves pointed over the wrists, and a full skirt which fell in sott folds, over hoops, to floor length. The neckline of the bodice was maiked with Alencon lace, the pattern of the lace tracing a delicate outline above the taffeta. A mantilla of imported silk lace was worn in place of a wedding veil, caught simply over the head, then falling to finger-tip length. For her bouquet, the bride chose white roses arranged as an old-fashioned nosegay. Pale coral and white were combined as colors for the costumes of the bride's attendants.

Miss Linda Harrison, who served as maid of honor to her sister, wore a ballerina-length dress of coral silk organza over taffeta. The high Empire waistline was finished with a wide, tailored sash and back midriff bow. Mayday roses of coral color were worn as a wreath in her hair, and also formed her Colonial bouquet.

Their headpieces and old-fashioned nosegays were also of the lovely Mayday rosebuds. Miss Cassie Gilstrap of Amarillo, niece of the bridegroom, was the junior bridesmaid, identically costumed. Miss Susan Kelly, another niece of the bridegroom, was the flower girl, dressed in a short frock of white organdy and lace, and wearing a dainty wreath of flowers in her hair.

Mark Kelly attended his brother as best man. Ushers were Daniel T. Kelly Peter Hay, Dr. Llewellyn Lujan of Los Alamos, Hobart Dixon, and Arthur Sena of Hobbs. Mrs.

Harrison, mother of the bride, chose an Adele Simpson original for the wedding. Of champagne color, the fabric was a rich Chardon Italian silk, fashioned in sheath style with interest in canopy sleeves. Her net hat W'as trimmed with flowers of matching champagne color, nd her other accessories were toned to the same shade, including her handbag on which was fastened a bouquet of cymbidium orchids. Mrs. Kelly, mother of the bridegroom, wore a gown of silk surrah in an abstract print.

Coors were shadings of French mustard and toast.
