on the bank of a running brook. Be-
meath the canopy of roses and ever
greens yer the chancel was q huge
pink basket filled with bridal bouquets
for the bridal party. The color motif

SEES, with pink flowers, and the others
in mellow tints of green and each bear
ing the same kind of flowers.
Standing just behind the basket filled
with bouquets was a bewitching little
cupid, in the person of Margaret Pat
terson of Charleston, who was sur
rounded by six other sweet little girls.
Cupid carefully lifted from the basket
the bouquets and handed them to the
flower girls, who in turn presented
them at the door to the bride and the
bridesmaids to the bride brides roses
and lilies of the valley and to the
maids. pink brides roses.

Miss Estelle Roby of Lexington pre-

the entrance of the bridal party Mrs.
E. H. Calhoun of Grenada sang most
beautifully, Sweetest Story Ever
Told and "All for You;" then to the
pleasing strains of the wedding march
the bridal party approached the altar.
Immediately preceding the bride was
little Malise Dogan in a white frock
with pink ribbons and carrying a bas-
ket of rose petals TO strew in her path
way. Then came the bride, leaning
upon the arm of her father. When the
altar was reached, her arm was placed
in that of the man to whom she had
plighted her faith and in a few mo-
ments the minister was uttering the
words upon which heaven has promised
its benedictions, and thus the two
hearts were made one for life's voyage.
