!: was Loves Eyes" and after a brief
interval, during which Mrs. Mitchell
|played "Venetienne" with the touch
of an artist, Mrs. Nicholson sang
"The Thought of You" Now the clock
struck twelve, announcing to the
eager. expectant company that the
climax was at hand. Simultaneously
Mrs. Mitchell sounded Lohengrin's
wedding march and DIR. R. C. Lee was
the first to enter the parlor, taking
his position behind the altar. Next
came with graceful step the brides
maid, Miss Catharine Darlington, a
sister of the groom, who was follow
ed closely by that darling little fairy,
Beulah Lee, clad in a dainty little
dress of white taffeta,, with a coronet
of orange blossoms, wearing silser
slippers. The maid of honor, Miss
Genevieve Norris, a sister of the
bride, next entered, and she was fol-
lowed by the two sweet little flower
tgirls, Dot Dunovant and Sarah Mich
olson, who were clad in yellow taffeta
with golden slippers, bearing yellow
baskets draped with yellow tulle and
filled with rose petals which were
scattered in the pathway Of the bride.
The groom next entered with his best
man, DR.. Albert Rhett Nicholson.
The bride who was as calm and col
lected as she was beautiful, and she
was never more beautiful than on
this her wedding day, entered on the
arm of her father, Mr.. Epps ]. Nor
ris, and as she approached the altar
she was joined by the groom. Then
came the serious, solemn moment,
which, through constituted authority
on earth, with the gracious approval,
we must believe, of higher authori-
ty in heaven, the erstwhile twain were
now made one. Following closely up
on the Amen, without the usual, pain
full, tense, silent moment of embar-
rassment, when everybody is waiting
for everybody else to move or to
speak, adniring, loving friends and
relatives crowded upon Mr.. and Mrs.
Darlington, each vying with the other
to beSf first to give expression to good

were received during tile forenoon.
Then followed social hour, dur
ing which bountiful buffet lunch
con, whose menu was as varied and
bountiful as in the days of yore when
prosperity abounded throughout the
length and breadth of the land, was
served.
The bride wore handsomely tail
ored dress of blue Poiret twill, trim
med with braid of beautiful brown
shade, with hat, gloves and slippers to
match. She carried shower bouquet
of Brides roses. The bridesmaid and
maid of honor both wore dresses OF
blue beaded Canton crepe and black
satin slippers, each wearing corsage
of Sunburst roses. The bride wore
ring of priceless value to the family
because of it's association, having been
worn by the BRIDES great-great-
grandmother, Miss Isabella Morrison,
on the occasion Of her marriage to
Mr. James Blocker, and having been
worn on nuptial occasions by sue
ceeding generations down to the pres
ent.
Soon after the ceremony number
of young friends of the bride gath
cred around a beautifully decorated
table in the dining room, the centre
of which was graced by the brides
cake. The portrayal of the fortunes
1
of those who nervously welded the
knife in cutting the cake provoked
much laughter. Miss Rosela Parker
became the possessor of the dime and
Miss Margaret May had the wish
bone fall to her lot, while Miss Sadie
Minis found the button in her por-
tion of the cake.
The large assortment of beautiful
tokens were mute expressions of love
not only from Edgefeld friends but
from friends of this and other states
were much admired. Rarely does one
see so many beautiful yet at the same
time sensible, useful gifts at we'd
