    Following a honeymoon in New Orleans, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Huggins are at home at 5216 West 23rd.

    Before their marriage at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 7 in Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Larned, Mrs. Huggins was Evelyn Lang. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Lang, Larned, and Mr. Huggins is the son of Mrs. Muriel Huggins, Delia, and the late Joe Huggins.

    The bride’s floor-length satin gown was fashioned with Empire bodice, bishop sleeves and built-in train. The Victorian neckline, cuffs, hem and front of the gown were trim¬med with venise lace. Her chapel length veil, accented with appliqued lace daisies, was held by a lace capulet. She carried a bouquet of daisy-like chrysanthemums and baby’s breath.

    Karen Lang, Larned, was her sister’s maid of honor and Timmie Smith, Topeka, was bridesmaid. Gina Grannell, Wamego, served as flower girl, and Mark Grannell, Wamego, carried the rings.

    Cecil Huggins, Raytown, Mo., was best man for his brother and Dan Dyer, Topeka, was groomsman. Guests were seated by Joe Wilson and Bill Wilson, both of St. George.

    A reception in the Knights of Columbus Hall, Larned, followed the ceremony.

    The bride is a graduate of Sisters of St. Joseph School of Nursing, Salina, and Mr. Huggins is a graduate of Washburn University. Mrs. Huggins is a registered nurse at the Santa Fe Hospital.
