reaching in its interest to society in
Columbia and throughout this State
than was the wedding on Wednesday
of Miss Alice Hagood, daughter of
Dr. and Mrs. William C. Lester, and
Richard Doxder Lee, Jr., of Sumter.
The ceremony was solemnised at
7:3o o'clock In Trinity and the old
church was never more beautifully
deorated than with its brilliant ele< -
trie lights, its stately palms, banking
massive choir stalls and columns,
and the pure, fragrant bridal roses
tilling the altar vases. A beautiful
programme of organ music by the
organist, Paul de Launay, was
brought to a ( Umax by the wedding
march, and the bridal party entered,
the four ushers, Lee Hagood. brother

lovely than in her exquisite wedding
gown of soft shimmering crepe me?
teor, draped with simplicity yet ef?
fective grace befitting her own indi?

to the bottom of the skirt were of

the wedding veil, caught to her hair
with fresh orange blossoms. The
bouquet she carried was fashioned of
bride's roses and feathery delicate
ferns in graceful shower effect.
