An unusually interesting event of the
week to many Alabamans was the mar
rage Wednesday evening of Miss Jes-
sic Lou Banks of Alfalfa to Mr.. Edwin
Goodline of Gadsden, at the home of her
father, Mr.. T. c. Banks. An al fresco
affair is always delightful and charming
at this season. and never has a more
beautiful scene been witnessed than when
these two popular young people plighted
their troth The wide. screened veranda
of the Banks home looked as il one had
been transplated to some tropical wooded
glen, festooned with southern smilax and
other soft green vines.
Wonderful palms and ferns formed the
end of the veranda, planted on either
side by white pedestals on which were
jars of dropping ferns. From the light
above the altar long streamers OF white
tule twined with feathery ferns were
festooned to each side. the same tulle be-
ing caught in a full butterfly bow. over
the light making a soft, mellow glow,
through which the sprays of feathery
green again appeared.
Promptly on the stroke of the strains
of Mendelssohns wedding march sounded,
played by Mrs. Johnson of Alfalfa. From
the end of the long veranda appeared a
vision of girlish loneliness in the brides
maid Miss Ethel Banks of Granville, Ca.
dressed in white and carrying a sheaf of
pink roses.
Following her came the ringbearer, lit
tie Julia Johnson of Admission. In her
hand she held single Easter lily, the
stem of which was tied with a rosette
of pink ribbon. In the cup of the lily
rested the ring used in the marriage GER
emony. A little flower girl, Elizabeth
Johnson. also of Admission. followed, car
rying a basket of Killarney roses.
Then down the length of the flower
decked veranda came the bride. on the
arm of her father, picture of youth
and beauty.
Attired in soft heecy white. In her
arm shower bouquet of valley lilies and
orchids. with orange blossoms around her
brow and long wedding veil of tulle
floating from the crown of her head.
TheSgroom and best man, Mr.. Bryant
King Vann, of Gadsden, came from the
opposite direction and met the bride ut
the altar. where Bishop James II. Mccoy
awaited them, and where, with only the
relatives and few close friends clus-
tered about> them. the bishop said the
solemn words Of the marriage ceremony
The dining room and drawing room were
profusely decorated with vines. potted
plants and flowers
The table in the dining room was COW
cred with cluny lace cloth, over which
maidenhair fern was scattered with a
lavish hand
