Graceful sprays of Southern smilax covered the white altar in front of which the ceremony was performed. Suspended from the ceiling was a white basket filled with flowers under which stood the bride and groom. Just before the wedding march, Miss Grace Pinson, sister of the groom, sang very sweetly a love song, "Mavis." Her accompaniment and the wedding march were played by Mrs. Mamie N. .Tillman. At the first strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding, March Rev. P. H. Bussey, pastor of the First Baptist church at Andrews, S. C., and brother-in-law of the bride, and Rev. A. T.

They no longer asked "will Santa come this year?" for there on one side of the school room was a lovely tree laden with toys, candy and fruit. Even the fathers and mothers who had been invited by their children, forgot "hard times" for the time be ing and with their faces' wreathed in smiles and their hearts filled with de light, they joined the children with their shouts and yells.
