BAILEY - LANE

A ceremony peculiarly impressive and of interest to a wide circle of friends throughout the state was performed this morning at the First Presbyterian Church by Rev. Dr. John W. Stagg which united Miss Lucile Lane, youngest daughter of Judge and Mrs. A. O. Lane and Mr. William Van Avery Bailey, recently of Anniston, but now of St. Louis. The church edifice was filled with friends and relatives, and the altar was banked high with hot house plants. Mrs. Ware, of Tuskegee was the organist, and after a programme of organ music Mrs. Harriette O'Neil sang a solo full of beauty and appropriate sentiment.

As Lohengrin was played the ushers entered, followed by the maid of honor, Miss Louise Cobbs, of Anniston, who was gowned in white lace over taffeta with white lace hat. Her flowers were an arm sheaf of pink roses. The bride entered with her father, Judge Lane. Her bridal gown was of tan Rajah silk with lace yoke and braided in a darker shade of brown. Her hat was a cream Tuscan straw trimmed with deep cream ostrich tips and aigrettes. Bridal roses formed her bouquet. Mr. Bailey entered with his best man, Mr. Charles Barker, of Anniston. The ushers were Messrs. Edward Bailey, of Mobile; George Fleming and Jack Goodwin, of Anniston, and Mr. William Terry, of this city.
