fter two weeks
of pleasurable
anticipation, society
was welcorned
into tjie
Clark home on
Tursday evening
at the
most elaborate
reception,
ever known in
Waco. And society
did full justice to the occasion, for
it wore its handsomest costumes
summoned its merriest mood,
and altogether responded to the
provisions of pleasure made by
Mrs. Clark, who knows just what
notes will strike this responsive
chord. The entire affair took on
a tone of picturesque brilliancy,
at once pleasing to the eye as
well as to those senses which delight.
The receiving party was
in handsome attire,'the most of
the gowns being fresh from
the modiste’s parlors for the occasion.
In this party were Mr.
George Pierce, Miss Camp, Mrs.
Clark, Miss Wheeler, of Manor,
Mr. Haughton, the Misses
Hefley, Col. and Mrs. Hamilton,
Mr. and Mrs. Russell, Mr. and
Mrs. J. P. Hodge, Mr. and Mrs.
Bolinger, Miss Walker and Mr.
Ned Marshall. The decorations
were a departure from the stereotyped
form, and were pleasing,
both for their artistic effect and
their unexpected surprises.. From
seven to nine the ladies and gentlemen
formed an unbroken line
of callers. As the vestibule door
swung back, cherubim as black
and white butterflies were seen
guarding the parlors. These
were little Elsie Hodge and
Willie Seley. The receiving
party occupied the front parlor
which took for its decorative
scheme white and pink. A
marked delicacy in smilax threads
was noted. They bordered the
spider film portieres, fringed the
archway and wrapped the gasolier.
Studding a foliage bank on
the mantel were hundreds of
Mareschal Neil buds. The color
effect was transformed to pink in
second parlor. These two rooms
were utilized for the ten o’clock
german led by Mr. Bain and
danced by the young folks. The
favors were valuable bits, of
bijouterie, the most elaborate
Mrs. Clark has yet provided, and
this is saying a great deal. The
library was tapestried in a gobelin
warp, which contrasted the
roseate touch about the punch
table, the same glow straying
from sun capped chandeliers.
The table upon which the bowl
stood was a crescent rest overlaid
in green. Roses rioted on its
surface, while violet bunches
were strewn with that “disorderly
order and careless care” which
stamps the artiste. Here Miss
Marshall served the punch, clad
in a summer frock garnished
with the blush rose. She wore a
rose garden hat, and sat in a rose
embowered chair, upon which
perched two chrysalis belles in
pink, little Lottie Padgitt and
Louise Bolinger. The hallway
was literally palm embowered,
the display of growing palms being
beautiful. As dapples through
the swaying leaves came the
dance movements from a string
orchestra.
A drawn portiere disclosed,
Their Majesties
The King and Queen of Winter,
ready
to receive their loyal subjects
in their
Cave of Ice.
“Come catch betimes, with joyful eyes
and clear,
One radiant vista of the realm before
us.”
The way was opened by Master
Irwin and Marie Clark, while Miss
Dollie Padgitt and Master Albert
Clifton were the ice sovereigns.
Their costumes, all satins and
spangles, were radiant and effective.
The Cave of Ice proved
Mrs. Clark’s spacious diningroom
a scintillating mass of
stalactites and stalagmites, most
faithful in their reproduction.
Electric sparks with diamond
frost illuminated the scene, while
little frost fairies, Misses Alice
Bain, Louise Bolinger, Emily
White and Katie Hodge flitted
about with the refreshments.
This feature of the decorations
was the delight of all who called.
Mrs. Clark’s invitation brought
out only the most exclusive circle
of societyites, many strangers
being noted especially among the
young folks. There were Misses
Kearby, erf Dallas, Adoue, of Calvert,
Staples, of Sherman, Wheeler,
of Manor and Brahan, of Seguin
with Messrs. Zizinnia,
Ceaver, Kimbrough, of Paris, and
Jester, of Corsicana.
The costumes were strikingly
pretty, many being of unusual
richness and beauty. Among the
latter, of course Mrs. Clark takes
the precedence. She wore white,
heavily brocaded, the Panquin
skirt being silver spangled as was
the bertha which fell from the
decolettage. Other noticeably
pretty effects in costuming were
attained by Mrs. .Charles Hamilton,
Miss Camp, Miss Aduoe,
Miss Wheeler, Miss Padgitt and
Mrs. Foster Fort.
And thus passes into memory
another of Mrs. Clark’s social
triumphs, which have become
white ribbon events in the midwinter
calendar of gaveties.

Married,
at Waco, Texas,
on Tuesday, January the seventh,
1896,
by Father Badelon,
at the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Egan,
James Fee Mistrot,
Need Jones Shafer.
At Home,
Belton, Texas.
Thus were friends apprised of
the wedding of these young folks,
both so generally known in Waco.
Cards carried the announcement,
since none but relatives
were present at the ceremony,
which took place at nine o’clock
Tuesday morning. Mrs. Egan
served a morning lunch, after
which Mr. Mistrot bore his bride
to Belton, where he manages the
mercantile house of the Mistrot
Brothers. The bride’s wedding,
as well as going away gown, was
cut from a brown boucle, and,
though at all times a pretty girl,
gave an added charm to its wearer.
A handsome array of bridal
presents accompany this now
happy couple to their new home.

Mrs. T. H. Brown’s compliment
to Misses Baker, Kellett and
Trice on last Tuesday evening
was a piece of bijouterie in the
art off entertaining, since it
brought together all the young
folks from exclusive circles, and
made Time pass “with slippered
feet.” There were nearly two
hundred invitations issued, all
to the young folks, except Mesdames
Neblett, Dean and Surratt,
who assisted Mrs. Brown. The
Italian String band sent forth
its enlivening strains throughout
the evening, while a corps of
waiters did the duties of the refreshment
room. The table
formed a picture where art vied
with nature for effect. The
cloth, a satin faintly green, bore
hand painted clusters of
La France blossoms. The square
