In the beautifully decorated Bap-

for the impressive ceremony which
was preceded by a musical program
rendered by Mrs, Clara B. Evans. or

list, and Mrs. Wales Wallace of Co

accomplished musician, and Mrs.
Middleton's violin solo was enjoyed
as her playing has always been en-
joyed in Montevallo. Mrs. Wallace
first sang Loves Old Sweet Song"
and nothing could have been more
appropriate at that twilight hour.
She afterward sang one of her own
compositions. I'm My Arms" admira-
bly, suited to her rich. sympathetic
voice.
With its unfailing heart thrill, the
strains of the Lohengrin wedding
march filled the church. The Off
ciating clergyman, Rev. W. D. Ogie-
tree. entered by the side door fol-
lowed by the groom and his best
man. Mr.. Herbert Robinson of Bir-
mingham, while approaching from
the two opposite aisles came six
young ladies who had served as
ushers. In their white dresses they
presented a charming picture as they
took their places at the altar. They

Miss Alice Lyman. sister of the
bride, AS maid-of honor lovely in
pink georsette with tiny ruffled
rose buds and tulle. She carried
sweet peas and was followed by

like a little pink princess. From her
small silver basket of rose leaves
she scattered soft petals before the
approaching bride who entered on
the arm of her father. In beaded
white georgette crepe. filmy veil and
orange blossoms her blond beauty
was perfect and by no means dimmed
by her huge arm bouquet of brides

hung showers of white sweet peas.
