Fine S ilk and Velvet Caps, the regular price is 75 cents to $1.00 each, this week they go at.............25 cents 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. * sk* 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 Continued on Second Page.
