OT since the
Ol i v eC rowd
u s nuptials
two years
since has a
church wedding
so wholly
engrossed society
as did
the M c L e nd
o nA dams
ceremony of last Wednesday
evening. It was an event by no
means confined to Waco, since
Dallas, Galveston, Fort Worth,
Corsicana and the groom’s home
at Hearne, all sent representatives
of high social standing, to
swell the brilliant audience, to
occupy the family seats, or to
form the bridal cortege. Even
far more reaching in their mission
of remembrance came the exquisite
array of presents from
New York, from Colorado, from
Mexico, and from throughout
Texas.
Of course at home, the trousseau,
the church and home preparations
had been the ple&surable
society topic since the distribution
of Tiffany’s cards announcing
the ceremony for eight
o’clock Wednesday evening, the
twentysecond of January at the
First Presbyterian church. When
the hour for the ceremony arrived,
the capacity of the church
was not only tested, but the entrance
found a perfect blockade
of guests unable to gain admission.
The decorations were most elaborate
at the church. Here, there
was no niche but received its
foliage offering, the .whole exciting
general admiration. The
four stained glass recesses were
latticed with cedar cables with
an alternate portiere, caught by
white satin streamers, With the
chandelier as a hub, there radiated
across the vault the same
cordons, making a canopy over
the entire audience. The family
seats were designated by white
satin streamers, the entire width
of the auditorium, caught just
beneath the chandelier in a graceful
bow. But it was around the
altar that the most lavish touch
was made. Banked against the
full wall, leaving only the interstices
of. the minister’s chair,
were growing palms, whose
every leaf seemed set with an
added grace, and upon whose
glazed surface played dapples of
light from the fifty incandescents
which shed their brilliancy upon
the fairest bride this church had
ever known. These palms were
bedded with moss, which completed
the realism of a growing
grove. A smilax screen was before
the minister’s chair, making
the vista of greenery unbroken.
An arch of light also surmounted
the vestibule door.
Just before the approach of the
bridal party with Mrs. Beach at
the organ, Miss Cooney sang,
“Thine Eyes so Blue and Tender,”
which swelled into Tanhauser’s
wedding notes, and
there filed down the two aisles
the ushers and attendants by
twos, the maids singly, the maid
of honor, Miss Wynne of Fort
Worth, the bride and groom,
then the best man, Mr. R. K.
Gaston of Dallas. Dr. S. A.
King rose to receive them, when
he spoke the words, all important
to these two, for whom life
was budding anew, and for whom
life blossomed into a radiant happiness
as the full organ notes
pealed forth the recessional, first
Mr. and Mrs. Horatio Hearne
Adarns, then Miss Wynne’ with
Mr. Gaston, Misses Tibbs, Clark
of Dallas, Marshall and Gardner
with their attendants and ushers,
Messrs. Plunkett, Percy Wood of
Corsicana, Robert Glover, Bennett
Hill, T. L. Camp, Fred Porter,
Manning Shannon and P.
A. Gaston of Dallas; J. T. Hazlett,
W. S. Fontaine and J. P.
Palm of Hearne, and Charles
Goldthwaite of Galveston.
These, together with the family,
the other visiting guests and
a very few intimates, assembled
in the McLendon parlors for a
“health to the bride,” before the
special car was boarded for Dallas.
The interim was so short
that little more than time was
had for donning the going away
attire, the entire party leaving for
Dallas, where, on Thursday evening
Judge and Mrs. Aldridge entertained
five hundred guests in
honor of Mr. and Mrs. Horatio
Adams, and Mr. and Mrs. Sam
Adams, also recently married, of
Hearne.
This wedding was a veritable
white and green symphony, except
in the gowns of the bridesmaids,
Miss Clark wearing rose.
Miss Tibbs, canary, Miss Marshall,
pink and Miss Gardner, the
faintest blue. Miss Wynne wore
cream, the decolletage slightly
silvered. The toilets were all
handsome, the maids all carrying
huge flower bundles, and wearing
low cut bodices. The bride’s robe
was a heavy satin, glimmering
in its graceful folds of the square
cut train and shoulder puffs. The
bodice was veiled by chiffon
plaits, the round decolletage being
framed in white carnation
bands, sprayed with their own
foliage. A plait of the chiffon
also marked the front skirt width,
over hwich wandered the carnation
sprays, drooping from a
cluster at the belt. Over the
whole fell an exquisite imported
veil, deeply embroidered in point
d’alencon. A white carnation
bunch completed the toilet.
i : :
The family seats were occupied
by Mr. J. S. McLendon father
of the bride, Mr. H. R. Hearne,
grandfather of the groom, Mrs.
Adams, mother of the groom; Mr.
and Mrs. Sam Adams, cousins of
the groom; Mrs. R. M. Wynne of
Fort Worth; Judge and Mrs.
Aldridge, Dr. and Mrs. Wandless,
Miss Ethel Scruggs and Miss
Ruby Traylor, Messrs. H. R. and
George Aldridge, Monagan, of
Dallas; Mr. W. B. Ferguson, of
Hearne; Miss Adoue, of Calvert;
Mr. and Mrs. George McLendon,
Mr. and Mrs. Sam McLendon,
Mr. and Mrs. Ab McLendon, and
Mr. Hugh McLendon; .the
most of whom wore full evening
dress, adding, if such were possible,
brilliancy to the scene.
After a few days in Dallas, Mr.
and Mrs. Adams will open their
pretty new home, just completed
in Hearne, where Mr. Adams’
business interests are centered.
Everything bright seems
thrown upon the horoscope of
these two young lives; youth,
health, friends and an enviable
social standing. Only one
shadow darkens—the loss at home
of an only and a devoted daughter—
upon whom education and
travel have been so lovingly bestowed,
which, combined with
the qualities which endeared her
to her home circle, have won for
her the husband with whom she
goes to travel life’s paths.

When one is bidden to Mrs. D.
H. Orand’s hospitable ho me, he
knows a good time is in store; in
consequence, each goes in his
brightest mood, and plays a spirited
game if cards be the diversion.
