KREGER-STANDLEY
The Baptist church was lastly and
! handsomely decorated for the Kreger-
| Standby wedding this noon. The ros-
| trum and rear walls were festooned
and wainscoated with palmettos and
magnolia branches and ivy interspers-
ed with magnolia blossoms. In the
rear of the church was located a pal
metto tree and palmettos adorned the
wall to the left of the rostrum and in
one corner Of the organ loft. The rail-
ing was decorated with ivy vines,
intertwined with magnolia and oleand-
er blossoms. In the center of the ros-
trum hung a lovely wedding bell made
of oleander and magnolia blossoms
Back Of the rostrum the wall was
deeply shaded with large palmetto
branches reaching to the ceiling, while
the wall underneath was beautifully
traced with vines and underneath these
a park Of magnificent ferns. The whole
! presenting a most inviting picture and
the green of the foliage and the col
ors of the flowers lent shade Of cool
ness to the fierce rays of the sun with
out that in this instance proved gen.
uine pleasure. Messrs. Lee Miller and
Arthur Clark, brothers-in-law of the
fair bride, were ushers and in their
conventional dress made very hand
some guides. Miss Byrd Wartmann
was organist and played with her ac
Marguerite Porter sang so beautiful to
Miss Wartmann's accompaniment, "All
For You" and which so pleased the au-
dience while they were waiting for the
bride that she favored them with an
other number. Miss Porter is a beau
tiful singer, has expression and en-
phasis and is destined to bloom into
prima donna at no late day. At the
noon hour the organ sent forth it's
notes of the Mendlessohn wedding
march, Mrs. Standby, mother of the
bride, appeared leaning on the army Of
Mr.. Miller and was conducted to her
seat, while the same kind Offices were
performed for the mother Of the groom,
Mrs. Green, by Mr.. Clark, following
which came the handsome son of Mr..
and Mrs. Jim Knight, Jim, Jr., bearing
atasseled satin cushion on which shone
a splendid diamond wedding ring. He
bore himself with the air of a young
Ichevalier and all eyes were turned on
him as with stately tread he passed up
the aisle. Then came the fair and
handsome bridesmaids, six in number,
trimmed with beautiful embroidery.

with a corsage bouquet of lovely
daisies. Miss Kreger, sister of the
groom, took the aisle to the left, with
Miss Bessye Porter to the right, fol-
lowed by Miss Leta Camp to the left
and Miss Beulah Hall to right, in turn
followed by Miss Marguerite Porter to
the left and Miss Grace Hatchell to
the right, and with stately measured
tread they marched to the altar, where
the lines crossed. The bridesmaids
, were followed by Miss Tommie Stand
ley, sister to the bride. dressed in yell
low, with shoes and hat to match,
who placed herself in position to meet
the bride as she faced the front. The
bride, a picture of loneliness, followed,
escorted by her uncle, Mr.. Jno. S. Ed

met under the wedding canopy, escort

| organ pealed forth the joyous notes Of
Lohengrin and the beautifully dressed
, audience, mostly ladies, began to file
out. following the bridal party and on
the lips of all were expressions of
a pleasing nature of how sweet the
bride looked, how nice the decorations,
etc, etc. 1t was a scene worth seeing
and remembering. The bride wore q
magnificent corsage bouquet of white
roses trailed with lilies of the valley,
