WILKINSON-LUCAS

The following account of tic Lu-
cas-Wilkinson wedding from The
Florence Daily Times, will be of in
terest here: :;
"a quiet but very pretty wedding
was that of Miss Susan Stevens Lu-
cas- and Mr.. John Walter Wilkinson
which occurred at $50 Wednesday
afternoon, October 5th, at St. Johns
Episcopal Church, only the immedi-
ate families and intimate friends be-
ing present. The church was simply
but beautifully decorated in green
and white, many ferns being used.
"The ushers were DR.. S. R. Lu-
cas- and Nv. H. Darby, Jr. Mrs.
James Penny at the organ played
Purity and Loved and Adored,' by
Englenlan.
"The bridal party entered the
church ito the dreamy, exquisite
music. of the wedding march from
Lohengrin. Mrs. Thomas R. Miller,
sister of the bride, was dame Of
honor, wearing a lovely gown OF
Harding blue Canton crepe with
mole skin trimmings, and carrying
Russell roses. Little Miss Natalie
Lucas was flower girl and Miss
Leonide Lucas was ring bearer, both
nieces of the bride. They were dainty
and sweet in frilly white organdie
dresses. The bride came in on the
arm of her brother Mr.. Ravenel Lu-
cas-, who gave her away. She wore a
handsome travelling suit of navy blue
Poiret twill with gray hat, shoes and
gloves and corsage of orchids and
valley lille. At the altar she met the
groom with his best man, his brother,
Mr.. A. A. Wilkinson. Rev. w. S.
Poyner performed the ceremony,
using the beautiful Episcopal SER
vice, while the organist played softly
"The Awakening" As they turned to
leave the altar the music swelled into
the rich tones of Mendelssohn's We'd
ding March.
Immediately after the ceremony
the bridal party and the immediate
family were served delicious three
course supper at the home of the
brides mother, Mrs. Edward Henry
Lucas, on South Colt Street.
"The bride and groom left for
Washington and New York for
short honeymoon trip.
"Mrs. Wilkinson is the youngest
daughter Of Mrs. E. H. Lucas, and
her genial disposition has won for
her many friends among the young
people of Florence. It is very graft
flying to them to know that she will
continue to live in Florence after
marriage. Mr.. Wilkinson is young
man of worth and popularity. He is
a law student, being now employed
in the office of Wilcox and Wilcox"
