An odd little god,
Dan Cupid, is he?
His arrows do fly, alow and ahlgh,
A wonder to me.
HUS speaks
the poet, and
thus echo we.
A week ago
we had a bouquet
of rosebud
girls
whom we had
nurtur e d as
ours, and
whom we had
enshrined in our bowers of love,
respect and good wishes. But
three connoisseurs of feminine
worth have plucked those buds
from their hallowed time of
maidenhood, and transported two
of them to an adopted home. In
these they will spread their tendrils
of attractiveness and engraft
themselves upon the hearts of
their new friends as closely as
they did upon their old. A perfeet
flower is admired for the
moulding of its cup; the coloring
of its petals, and even more than
this, for the sweet perfume which
it radiates to all which comes
within its presence. So, a perfect
woman sheds her influence
wherever her presence be known,
and sweetens life with her sympathy,
charity and affection.
THE OLIVECROWDUS CHURCH
CEREMONY.
Judith Olive is no more. Her
identity has been dimmed by her
brilliant transformation into Judith
Crowdus, the wife of one who
embodies all the attributes which
amalgamate a man. This transformation
was effected at the most
interesting and brilliant hymeneal
gathering ever seen in Waco. The
social web of conversation had
spun its meshes around 3 o’clock,
Wednesday afternoon. Thetrousseau
had been discussed together
with the proposed decorations,
going away and the like, yet no
one was prepared for the scene
which greeted his passage into St.
Paul’s church like a dazzling
wonder flower. Each detail of the
mise en scene seemed the ascension
to a climax of effect. Floods
of light rippled and danced upon
a crowded audience, and brought
into relief one of the most fashionable
assemblages ever noted in
the city. The tout ensemble was
bewitching, but the harmonious
disposition of each spray, each
ribbon, or each light could only
be appreciated by a close observation.
The Episcopal service was
read by the Rev. Frank Page under
a Gothic arch whose keystone was
a pendant “C. O.,” the glow of
whose many wee sparks streamed
outward and lay broad ribbons
across the path of the bride as
she advanced with her queenly
carriage to meet the man of her
choice. These incandescent fireflies
obtruded themselves through
a feathery foliage, and as the ceremony
progressed, the “O” became
obliterated, while the “C”
shed an increased luster upon the
outgoing of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene
Crowdus. These initials of brilj7
iancy were brushed by palm foliage
from the arch. Each nodded
its graceful head as though
smiling approbation upon the
scene which it surmounted. Ropes
of greenery frescoed the vaulting,
while a wealth of bridal ribbon
allotted the pathway of the nuptial
party. These ribbons were
upheld at intervals by an evergreen
knot, making a very pretty
effect. The vestibule of the
church had been converted into a
souvenir bower where each guest
left his name inscribed by means
of a celluloid tablet, bearing the
monogram “C. O.” and a petite
olive branch. This hymeneal autograph
will be retained by Mr.
and Mrs. Crowdus to mark this
memorable day in their lives.
During the assembling of the
guests, Miss Weslow sang as only
she can sing, a vocal gem whose
every note seemed to vibrate with
love and tenderness. With Prof.
Parnum at the organ, the voices
of Misses Weslow and Womack
with Messrs Hays and Banton,
through the Bridal Chorus from
Lohengrin announced the approach
of the bridal party. Preceding
this, were little Misses
Lady Pearl Olive and May
Vaughn Dupree bearing the Persian
prayer rugs and opening
Cupid’s gates which marked the
entrance into the sacred chancel.
This feature of the ceremony
made an innovation—that of the
bridal march being made in single
file. The ushers, Messrs. James
King and M. C. H. Park, of Waco,
Monagan and Bickham, of Dallas,
turning alternately right and left
were followed by Miss Rainey, of
Fort Worth, who was met at the
chancel step by Dr. Wandless, of
Dallas; Miss Tate, of Houston, the
maid of honor, who was escorted
to her position by Mr. Porter, of
Dallas, the best man, and last—the
acme of interest—Judith Olive,
who was so soon to relinquish her
name, her Waco home and friends.
She approached the awaiting clergyman
upon the groom’s arm. As
the ritual of the beautiful service
rang clear, the exquisite cadences
of pianissimo music stole upon the
senses. This swelling into the
full chords of Mendelssohns’s wedding
march, marked the receding
movement.
